I thought 343 Guilty Spark died in Halo 3? I mean he exploded.

Book spoilers! (Does anybody even care about book spoilers, can I just not put it in spoiler tags?)

His remains were recovered by an UNSC ship, when they turned him back on he basically has came out of rampancy and is a good guy now, he told them his story and took over the ship and I think he put the UNSC crew asleep then said he is going to find the Libarian and heading to Earth

Oh cool! and thanks. GuiltySpark was one of my favorite characters my, GT is inspired by him.

NobleTeam is inspired by Guilty Spark?... =P

Yeah he is a great character, underated and I guess his hated for killing Johnson but I kinda don't blame him after what the humans were doing Lol he was protecting the ring for 10 thousand years thinking he was all alone and nobody else survived, no longer with his friends (he had some during forerunner time =P) and along comes Chief and blows it up in a few days then Chief pisses him of more in Halo 3, surprised he didn't go rampant sooner

If you read the books too Guilty Spark used to be a human and was a close friend with Bornstellar (a forerunner) he got shot and had to be put inside the robot ball to live on so that makes me feel even more sorry for him xD his friends are all dead and he had to live all that time alone...

No, but my Gamertag, GuiltySpartan is lol.

Damn Halo 5 revealed, Newman was right.
They must have a lot to show at E3.

But do the Precursors really have a grudge against humanity? they let them think they had a cure last time they attacked Humanity during the Forerunner wars and wanted Humanity to take the mantle

Now they are just pricks but I don't think they hate Humanity, I wonder if since the Mantle is destroyed any of the new flood on the Halo rings from Halo 1 and 2 knew they were Precursors...

I think the Didact will return etc etc. then near the end the Precursors/Flood will come into the galaxy (since the flood came from outside of this galaxy and the precursors..we don't even know how far they got out right? they could have worlds everywhere)

Lol if it's Cortana in the armor.....Made her an AI Machine in Spartan Armor xD

They invaded the humans because they wanted them to spread rapidly and agressively around the galaxy in order to provoke a Forerunner-Human War, and because they retreated from human territory they created an even greater hostility between forerunners and humans: The forerunners thought the humans had a cure. Their sympathy with the humans ended when the forerunners declared war on the precursors, now they want all living things dead to make sure that none can ever oppose them again like the forerunners did.

And I think you're mixing some things up, the Mantle is a principle/a religion/a responsibility, thus it can't really be broken. I think you mean the Domain, but even without it the Gravemind knew what he is/was and who the humans are; you may recall this particular quote from the Gravemind in the beginning of the level "Cortana" in Halo 3:

"Son of my enemy, why have you come? I offer no forgivness, a father's sins pass to his son."

I'm certain the precursors will appear in Halo 5, and you're right, we don't know how far they went or where exactly they are. With their technology they are able to travel between galaxies.

And for those who think the upper Spartan is a female Spartan II (or even Palmer) watch this:

From about 6:00 to 6:04 you can see the so called sculpt of Master Chief, which to me doesn't look different than the one of the upper Spartan. It can't be an AI-only armor because you can see a scuplt inside it. I really think it's just John's new armor.

Oh I thought your gamertag was noble team xD I don't have you added! =P

I was going to change it to NobleTeam, but I just can't bring myself to do it as GuiltySpartan has been my Gamertag since I started playing Xbox Live lol. Also I think I'm going to have to read the books because they seem like an interesting read.

^^ I think people were just tossing out theories. None of us are in the development of Halo 5 so none of us know who that Spartan is, and probably won't know until Halo 5 comes out. Either way I can't wait to learn more of the story of Halo and will definitely start reading the books.

E3 is so overrated lol jk. The more they announce before E3 the more I expect to be shown at E3. Everything they have announced in May so far could have easily been announcements at E3. Which makes me hyped.

Anyhow speculation time: guardianS with two spartans on the cover, so the return of other spartans in the game. I don't think III and IV's would classify as guardians. The other spartan seems like a woman and has the same size as Chief so she is probably a spartan II, Kelly or Linda? Would be nice to have a Halo game including the other Spartan II. Again subnaming them guardians would mean there is a big threat. Forerunners were a threat in Halo 4 but not to the galaxy, only threat to the galaxy is the flood. Return of the flood?
2 sec. · Vind ik leuk

SOME SPOILERS FROM BOOKS AND COMIC AHEAD

I highly doubt that it's not the Master Chief, especially when they call Halo 5 "the next installment in the legendary saga of the Master Chief". And if it were a fellow Spartan II he/she wouldn't be above John. On top of that, I think their physique is exactly the same, and one could interpret this mirror-effect as a refelction of the same person in two different points of time.

Now, whoever the upper Spartan may be: He/she was sent on a mission by ONI. Why? Well look on the left side of the new armor: The ONI-sign. If it were the Master Chief it would "perfectly" allign with the things we know from the comics: Master Chief joined Infinity after the events of Halo 4 and disappeared just as quickly, which is more or less a sign that ONI is involved.

So what mission could our beloved hero be on? A Didact hunt maybe? The comics also tells us that the UNSC blamed the Covenant for the Didact's attack on New Phoenix, plus the Forerunner's body was never found. This hunt could be the plot of the introductory missions, afterwards revealing the real threat (as I cannot imagine it being the Didact): the Precursors, makers of all things including the Flood. 

I think "Guardians" refers to whole humanity; think about it: the Forerunners called themselves guardians of the galaxy, humanity is the "descendant" of the Forerunners (thus the title "Reclaimer") and has to take over the Forerunner's responsibilities. The Precursors had a grudge on the Forerunners, swearing they would destroy every single living thing they (the Precursors) created, including the Forerunners, including the humans. That's how the Forerunners died (the Precursors "are" the Flood), but they were able to temporarily annihilate the Flood and even repopulated the galaxy after activating the Halo rings.

All speculation :D

And guys, call me crazy but after reading this:

"I spoke about a "journey", rather than a destination - and that journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather than one small step."

I can't believe this year's Halo will "only" be a Halo 2 Anniversary Edition. The Halo 5 teaser-artwork indicates that the Chief changes his armor at some point of time, these "introductory missions" I talked about before could be a prequel or at least additional missions in Halo 2 which would explain/tease the events of Halo 5 just like the terminals of the CE Remake had done so with Halo 4.

And by the way, are you Dutch?


I'm Belgian but from the Dutch part yes :p
