Halo 4 introduced the story to a whole load of new members and groups who could all well have their own story off to the side akin to the Halo3:ODST game which happened just after the ship jumped from Earth in Halo 2.

Maybe they'll start a spin off with Conan and Andy Richter from their Job minding those boxes in the hanger :D Coco would well up for it no doubt.

Lol, I loved that little skit that Conan and Andy did. 

There will probably be some spin-offs in the future, someone from Microsoft recently mentioned that they wanted to release some Halo games from genres other than FPS (Halo Wars 2 and a Halo RPG both seem likely possibilites). Personally I wouldn't mind learning more about Lasky between the events of Forward Unto Dawn and Halo 4, how he made is way up to Commander and what kind of role he played during the events of the Covenenant War. But they'll probably explore that in a novel or in the TV show, I doubt it'll get a spin-off game. 

I get the feeling that after this next Halo in 2014 they'll release Halo 2 HD in 2015, some kind of spin-off in 2016, and then the next main Halo game in 2017. 343i is big enough for concurrent development on two games at once, and Microsoft has frequently enlisted the help of Certain Affinity to help out Bungie and 343i and they likely will continue to do so in the future, so yearly Halo releases of some kind are definitely a possibilty going forward.

If 343 wanted to do it the same as Halo CE then you could see the HD version of Halo 2 out this November in line with the 10th anniversary of the games release, could be awesome since it's currently the only Halo game where you need to go back to the original Xbox if you want to play through them all.

As for the underlined.... that would be incredible, even from the amount of time people put into getting the gear upgrades from the Armory of Halo reach then if you dropped that into an MMO or just RPG envoirnment.... the amount of human life that game could consume is bordering on scary, knowing I'd lose a year to it without even blinking.
