What do you expect to happen to the Arbiter's faction in Halo 5?

Being honest here? I don't know.

Frankly, I'm fucking amazed Traviss didn't kill off Arby in Kilo-5. And if there's one thing I'm remotely happy about regarding that trilogy, it's that she didn't kill him off.

So. If 343 kills him off?

Imma be fuckin' pissed.

I'm with you there >_>

Considering how much demand there was to have him back, I don't think they'll be stupid enough to make that big a mistake.

But maybe they'll amaze us with their stupidity....

Well if they ever send Arby off, they need two things.

1. Arby goes down fighting and we need to see it happen to maximize the "feelsies" the fans have for him

2. Arby dies for a damn good reason, not a firefight off screen or even a simple firefight

He's the Sangheilian equivilent to John and if he were ever to be killed off, then 343 would have to put their best writers up to the task.

Actually killing Thel off in itself isn't stupid, however killing him off stupidly is well... stupid.

Indeed. I really hope they don't pull another Black Team/Saber team on Thel and have him die stupidly like tripping over an Ice Cream Cone offscreen and have it as a breif mention in a convoluted blog post on LOLBanpoint.

the one true God is Doctor Doom and we should all be worshiping him.
Uniform suicide within the first five minutes of the game

That's worse than Karen Traviss' writing O____O

Halo 4's gameplay.

Seeing the forerunners outside of apocryphal context.

Defeating the Didact with the X button.

The first half of Halo 3's story.

Continuing Master Chief's story after the conclusion of Halo 3.

The Scorpion's godawful design.

The driving skills the UNSC teaches its men and women.

Halo 2's level pacing.

Halo 2's ending.

Halo 2's buggy multiplayer.

Halo 2.

Edit: oh, I though you said what's worse than Traviss' writing.

List still applies, though.

Actually killing Thel off in itself isn't stupid, however killing him off stupidly is well... stupid.

He's the most interesting character they have, though. (By a loooong margin.)

Killing off their best character would be a terrible fucking decision.

There were, yeah. There was Cortana. And Johnson. Both are dead though. Hood is pretty interesting - hopefully he appears in Halo 5. Thel is still the most interesting though.

Of course

So that's good. Very little of the EU was lost to mediocrity, thankfully.

The Bungie books were meh-ish. The 343 books were well written, but not well thought-out.

I think Arbiter will become the assasinated, and then the faction will be fuelled by anger and slaughter the storm guys. then we'll get a scene of master chef at the arbiter's funeral thingy, and as the coffin is lowered, a QTE happens and you must hit X to cry.
