The Expected Plot Of Halo Season 2
This is what the official story summary for Halo Season 2 says:
In season two, Master Chief John-117 leads his team of elite Spartans against the alien threat known as the Covenant. In the wake of a shocking event on a desolate planet, John cannot shake the feeling that his war is about to change and risks everything to prove what no one else will believe – that the Covenant are preparing to attack humanity’s greatest stronghold. With the galaxy on the brink, John embarks on a journey to find the key to humankind’s salvation, or its extinction — the Halo.
Cortana took over Master Chief’s body at the end of Season 1, which erased his personality. Season 2 will likely go into more detail about what this means for his friends and the relationships he has built. On the one hand, Chief will probably act more like he does in the games. On the other hand, those friends will probably try to solve the problem that’s happened to him.
The Forerunner objects were also a big deal in Season 1, and they have now shown where the Halo ringworld is. This means that in Season 2, the Covenant and the UNSC will compete to be the first to take over this strange world and its technology. This brings us to an important part of the game’s storyline that might make it onto the show.
In the games, the Forerunners made the Halo rings to wipe out all life in the world as part of their war with the Flood, an alien race that feeds on other life forms. In Halo, the Flood are some of the scariest creatures because they can take over the bodies of other beings, both Covenant and human. This makes them a deadly threat to all life. The Flood wasn’t shown in Season 1, but it could be a dangerous new group in Season 2, which could lead to the UNSC and the Covenant working together. We will have to wait and see, though, to see if that does happen.
“This time, we’ve got two main characters from the Covenant, which you’re really going to actually get to meet and get to understand, and spend time with and understand what their motives are and what they want. And so, I think that’s going to be really fun because the enemy will be much more characterized and much more accessible. Whereas in the first season, it was a little hard to understand what they wanted or what their agenda was. I think that all slightly affected the season and your ability to really connect with it as to what the stakes were. But now, hopefully in this season, you’re going to feel a lot more of a connection to the Covenant, and a couple of the characters we’re bringing out are fan-favorites. So that’s going to go well.”
