: As I said in another comment, my first thoughts are he's working his way to a

: For me, this demo wasn't an announcement or game teaser, only a

: I liked it. Not because Halo 5, but because Halo :)

Okay, I'll grant that I had not thought about the possibility that the forerunner entity might not be an enemy. Even if that's the case, though, it still seems a bit theatrical for him to, at this moment, pull out the keychain and have a reflective moment, which is what it seems to be.

Teasers often don't up in the game, and that's okay. I'm sure 343 will entice me with Halo 5 content. This didn't do it, though.
