:It might be that the Chief is accessing files that he shouldn't. I've felt that 343i is getting ready for a massive shift for a while now, where John actually goes up against ONI, if not the whole UNSC - Halsey's been thoroughly alienated, though I doubt her goals for the preservation of humanity have changed even in the hands of Jul 'Mdama; Cortana, his moral compass, is no longer in play; his newfound confidence in defying bad orders from superior officers, starting in First Strike and culminating in Halo 4; and ONIs actions have been getting less justifiable as being in defence of humanity. It might be that the Chief has set out to ''save'' the Arbiter from an ONI assassination, and that it's this act which forces ONI to send Locke to bring him in. | :It might be that the Chief is accessing files that he shouldn't.

:I am also glad they're describing them as actual, genuine friends. I can't think of two less likely friendships - the supreme commander who glassed Reach, and the Spartan who cut through the Covenant like a hot knife through butter. But it's also one that, in this weird and crazy universe, I can see working out - a mutual, if grudging, respect between soldiers and a shared enemy in the Prophets and those Elites who refuse to lay down arms. On the other hand, I'm not sure what they're hinting with the Arbiter - that he's done things that will change our mind about the Arbiter? -- [[User:Morhek|<b><font color=indigo>Qura 'Morhek</font></b>]] [[w:c:halofanon:user:Specops306|<u><i><font color=blue><sup>The Autocrat</sup></font></i></u>]] [[User talk:Specops306|<u><i><font color=purple><sup>of Morheka</sup></font></i></u>]] 06:42, 6 July 2014 (EDT) | :I am also glad they're describing them as actual, genuine friends.

::That's the same lines I've thought I've had, and yeah, not sure what they're hinting at about Arbiter either. To me, it sounded more like a regretful "what have I done?" rather than a "I'm doing evil things that Chief wouldn't be happy about". It can't be something about his past either, I can't imagine anything Thel could have done during the war that would change Chief's opinion of him, I mean, Chief's a Spartan will at that entails. Obviously it could be something completely new, but if it's something existing, could it be his working with ONI? A couple other things about trailer, two of the frames are very interesting, one of an Elite in some unknown armour with a jetpack thing jumping into a snowy place, and the other is a group and (maybe?) Covenant on a Forerunner structure with a Keyship in the background. Also, it looks like the city battle later is the schism on High Charity; near the end you can see the leg of a Keyship on the right side.
