Playing through Halo 4 is as far as I got. I only played 3 spartan ops missions.

Just curious.

Chief destroyed New Installation 04 but got cut off from Thel, who made it back to Earth. He got into a cryopod and told Cortana to wake him when she needed him.

Then the series ended and nothing ever happened after that ever.

Sarah Palmer is Master Chief's sister and Agent Locke is Chief's and Cortana's son.
Don't forget about the part where Sargent Johnson came back and was Agent Locke's surrogate mother.
Spoiler
That's why Locke is black.

It's a wiki. It should tell you what you need to know right?
Just because it's a wiki doesn't make it any good.

Halopedia is known for having things on there without any sources.

Because of one hackjob writer who only did a few things?
That's like giving up on a TV show after a few rubbish episodes.

It was just the start of the decline and future lore has to take into account the shit she wrote even though she didn't even bother to take into account the things that transpired prior to what she wrote.

No
Disregarding Traviss' work, the Lore certainly hasn't declined.

She'd be a much better writer if she weren't so opinionated and bothered to research the characters she was writing about. I mean, I agree with a lot of her opinions (which is why I'm willing to be more lenient with her than most other Halo fans) but it gets to the point where entire quarters of her books revolve around showing whatever she doesn't like in a negative way without actually advancing the plot.

I'd have to write an entire essay about Halo for you. I can't just summarize it for you, and it's not worth summarizing the saga.

Just play all the games again from 1-4.

Spartan Ops and EU spoilas
3 day after Halo 4, Blue team is sent to I03 to investigate te dissapearance of the SII unit Black Team, who they find dead. They proceed to to the site where the composer was foud and find the composed essences of the New Phoenix residents, as well as a portal to the composer forge. Once there, they encounter the Didact, and several more composers. Thy proceed to fight the Didact, but ultimately end up defeating him by jettisoning the section of I03 with the Didact on into the nearby planet, causing him to be composed by the Conposers.
In Spartan Ops, 6 months later, the UNSC and Jul's Covenant engage in several engagements throughout Requiem. The scientist Glassman is captured by the Covenant, and Halsey is brought to infinity to assist in research. an attack on infinity gets halsey captured by Jul, cauing ONI to olce an execution order on her. te same Librarian Essence that John encounters ends up co reacting Halsey, and gives her the two halves of the Janus Key- an Artifact that can reveal the precise locations of every Forerunner construct in the Galaxy. Lasky doesn't want to assassinate Halsey, so sends Fireteam Majestic to rescue Halsey after Palmer goes to kill her, with both units meeting up at the same time- Thorne gets one half of the Key while Jul takes Halsey, after she is shot, with the other half. The series ends with Jul sending Requiem into it's sun, and escaping with Halsey stating she wants revenge.

Several weeks later, peace talks between the Arbiter and one of the Brute clans led by chieftain Lydus begin on the JOZ of Ealen IV; the meeting is mediated by Hood and Lasky; however the talks are attacked by another Covenant group led by Vata 'Gajat; it is revealed there is a traitor amongst te UNSC in the form of Spartan Scruggs. When Infinity makes its way back, it is attacked by Vulture gunships and Sparrowhawks with identifiers of the Spirit of Fire. Later investigation leads the true mole in the UNSC to be Captain Clayton: James Cutter's son. As the Infinity prepares to find the SoF, all they find is a Covenant station that proceeds to use a glassing cannon to nearly destroy Infinity. However, Clayton is captured and revealed to be part of the New colonial Alliance, stating the insurrection has agents on every world and that the UNSC will come crashing down very soon. The final page of said comics reveals the Spirit of Fire to e evacuated with several flood infection forms running round the abandoned cryo bay.

The UNSC has since continued to engage in minor conflicts with smaller covenant groups, up until Atkis, a planet covered in ocean apart from a single plateau with a Forerunner structure and inside, a slot the exact gape of the Janus Key. The UNSC sends forces to investigate the site only to be ambushed by Covenant; it is at this point it is revealed Jul's covenant is splintering with a sub group believing Jul is a heretic- this group led by Sali 'Nyon ambushes the Spartan team and takes the other half of the Janus Key from the UNSC.
That's the Halo 4-Spartan Ops- Comic storyline. There's also some books and Nightfall tht aren't directly connected to this story as of now. That's only a brief summary and I'm sure Admirals can do a better, more in depth one- partially because I forgot what happens in Escalation Issues 11-13 :P

343i is actually slowly but surely retconning a lot of Traviss' work now.

Halopedia is pretty good actually, it's Halo Nation that rarely checks its facts. Last I checked, they hadn't even changed Arbiter faction's page to swords of Sangheilos.

Master Chief goes pew pew to aliens, but the evil nazi-like secret services think he's gone incoherent because he lost the closest thing to a human soul he had. So he goes into the desert and pick up fight with machines like him to cope with his depression. Meanwhile, there's this guy that is trying to piece together what on Earth happened to Master Chief, and it opens up a story similar to Where's Waldo, but with Master Chief.

Halsey lost her arm cause Palmer, she has left the UNSC and joined up with the Covenant Storm. Chief fought with the Didact again at Gamma Halo and literally threw him off with a piece of the ring which exploded on top of the Composer's Forge. Black Team has been annihilated. Lots of shit happened.

Halsey has teamed up with Jul, the head of the 'Storm', a covenant remnant.

The Didact is now pixels.

Chief has gone AWOL for some raisin.

A new guy called Locke has teamed up with Arby to go find Chief.
