We need a place to discuss the story beats and ending. All of it is fair game here, including the legendary ending.
Tell us your thoughts, reviews and speculation for the future of Halo!

There is a separate ending for legendary?
You have a final secret cutscene after the ending credits if you play the game in Legendary.

Is Cortana dead?
From a certain point of view.

Considering the legendary ending, next game and/or dlc weâll meet Offensive Bias. Also I was right 343i was keeping Atriox for another game, when a big villain is dead off screen, heâs usually alive. Also we need to beat him up with MC. XD
You get that I think with legendary they have audio stuff for it tho
I believe Atriox might become a new Arbiter, just a guess.
I think they put the storyline back on a good track as well as they couldâve, but thought the resolution between Chief and Cortana couldâve been better. I really hope The Weapon doesnât name herself Cortana as it mightâve been alluded to at the end, as that would be so lame.
The only story beat that didnât work for me was when The Weapon learned she is a duplicate of Cortana; it seemed like they wanted a âWould You Kindly?â moment but it was too obvious to everyone else.

Hmm, he doesnât seem really nice. XD
Anyway, do you think theyâll show the inevitable showdown (then he can even become âgoodâ, but theyâll fight again 100%) in the next installment or during the active support of Infinite?
She rebooted herself after a blue screen of death. Typical MS !

Yes. She died in Halo 4 really, since then she has been a fragment. That final fragment self-detonated Zeta

I get the sense that 343i will find a way to cheese Cortanaâs memories back into Weapon whoâll the be a hybrid of both characters. Cortana imploding just seems like the quickest way to clean up the mess that was Guardians and kickoff the soft reboot.
I believe theyâll fight 100%, but Atriox isnât a villain heâs an antagonist, and if The Endless are this massive threat to the galaxy heâll want to join forces with his frenemy, Master Chief.
Also Atriox values strength, once MC beats him heâll respect him.
I seriously hope not. Chief even says âyou are her if we never metâ, implying there are no memories at all.
Since completing infinite and revisiting the story of the other games, itâs crazy how much 5 fucks with the trajectory that 4 set up. She âdiedâ and then âcame backâ with such ridiculous reasoning that it completely halted any character development that could be made on chiefs end.

I havenât seen anyone talk about this but there is some serious use of âColour Theoryâ in this game, and itâs awesome.
Red of the banished + Blue of the new pure AI with only good intentions = purple, represented by Cortana with a mixed history of good and evil.
Through representation in chiefâs communication ring (where the AI slit is on the back of his head), the Pilot flashes bright green when he talks which contrasts against chiefs darker, bruised and chipped green.
Itâs not but often, but yellow is a colour used with the pilot a few times. One, with his hologram of his family, and two, his eye colour. Yellow is often the colour of cowardice and fear. Yellow and Blue (of Weapon) = green! Because they are both things that the chief needs to keep him growing and keep him human. The characters also represent chief as a person, part AI and part human.
I just thought this was really neat and wanted to share! Iâm sure there is more but this is just what Iâve found and my interpretation.
