: For the trailer itself, I'm agreeing with the current consensus. The Master
: Chief has probably turned rogue, hinted by his heavily damaged armor and
: the cloak probably to protect it from the dust (hinting at a long time of
: disrepair), and could be looking for a way to revive Cortana. As for where
: does it take place, it's where I have a few hypotheses. If it is the
: Ark, it will be an interesting development.

: It may be too early to call, and a lot of it was decanonized as a way to show
: Cortana's rampancy and it was noted to be symbolism for the most part, but
: I wonder if the later part of Halo Legends: Origins II may have been
: dropping hints into what may happen: - An abandoned Forerunner helmet,
: along with a Flood infection form. A small number of Forerunner seemingly
: managed to survive the firing of the array as shown in Halo: Silentium ,
: and while I'm not sure if 343i will ever put the Flood into the games
: again, from a lore standpoint there are still some supercell samples
: laying around in the galaxy.

: - Master Chief stands in front of a Gravemind... and it gives a crystal chip
: to him, before apparently teleporting him.

: - 343 Guilty Spark being resurrected. Halo: Primordium confirmed that he
: was alive.

: - Similarly, he is teleported to Installation 04 (II) above the Ark, both of
: which had been left charred after the premature firing. The fact it fires
: may be more symbolic, again, but who knows.

I've been there with ya on a lot of this from the start. :) I was expecting more of this from Halo 4, but I could still see it going in that direction.

I've always said that Origins was way too overlooked...
