Fortunately, there is hope. The Halo fanbase has resolved to remain ever vigilant against something that could Ruin Halo Forever, and call out warning if they see something that could potentially do so.
Some Halo conservationists suggest a more extreme approach, that Halo should and instead . Though attractive, this approach may prove .
Ruined Forever remains a serious threat to Halo now and in the foreseeable future, though it's possible a proposed initiative requiring all Halo fans to purchase an annual "online offset" could ensure our fragile brand's existence through the mid-21st century.

**Olympia Vale makes her debut appearance, proving that a with a career as a linguist can't match a kid listening to Covenant recordings when it comes to learning Sangheili. She also nearly floors a Spartan in one scene, prompting a line that surely couldn't be , could it? In any case, it's clear that the 343i mind probe was at work here, for there already exists a flawless child prodigy in the Haloverse that those monsters had the gall to steal ideas from.
**Serin Osman begins a trend of materialising at the end of Halo novels to reveal how everything that has transpired was part of some bigger plan like a Haloverse version of Nick Fury.

:::And I for one welcome our new Guardian overlords.
*Okay folks, you want to know how to fuck up? Bad? I'm talking 'accidentally NOVA bombing your own fleet' levels of shittery. Imagine putting hard work and effort into a project based on a book made nearly fifteen years beforehand, one that has been republished and fixed up to suit newer canon. Shouldn't be too hard, should it? Making an animated series takes time, but surely you can get enough episodes out to cover all its events. No? THEN WHY DID YOU RELEASE SOMETHING CALLED AND NOT INCLUDE THE FUCKING FALL OF REACH IN IT?!
===2016===
*343 Industries and Double Helix games revealed that the Arbiter would feature as a playable character in the reboot of Killer Instinct. When a trailer with a voiceover, the fans immediately cried foul, pointing out that the entirely non-canon hybrid of various Arbiters was not voiced by Keith David, preemptively ruining the game.
*343 Industries abandons the long-standing partnership between Halo and the greatest manchildren's toy company ever in favor of those guys who make Hot Wheels, and they turn out what look like knock-off Bionicle. The crap reboot ones.
**Extra sin because they produce three of the four for both Blue Team and Osiris, preventing you from ever completing the set.
*GEN2 variants of the armour are released in Halo 5, because apparently the UNSC decided to pump an ungodly amount of credits into recreating the armour of some Spartans whose most notable achievements were (almost) all dying on Reach. Yes, even the one with one giant shoulder, a kukri, a skull scratched into the visor has been mass-produced to fulfil...some role on the battlefield.
*
*At long last, 343i releases the update.
**The simulator seems to believe that pitting a group of Spartans armed only with assault rifle against heavily-armoured Mantis-piloting Promethean Soldiers with the ability to self-heal is balanced and fair. It ain't.

**An important lesson is given about forgiveness when Some Guy™ gets angry at the presence Sangheili in their top secret research planet-thing. It's not like his family was likely incinerated during the war or anything but hey, hugs and kisses with the giant killer lizard people now that the war's over.
** commits the grave sin of not being about augmented supersoldiers, and instead tells us a tale of some colonists cowering in the dirt, thinking... what, I wonder?
**For some unfathomable reason, is not about the Flood. Also, there's a new Spartan there called Kevin. Hi Kevin.
** might have won some of you over with it bringing back 'ol Rtas 'Vadum, but who is on the cover with him, huh? I guess they were so lazy they just reused the Arbiter's armour design for - never mind. 
**. Prophet. Supersoldiers. Guys, leave the fanfic writing to us, okay?
**Saber Team returns in , where they kill some people and try to cover it up really well. Something tells me that these child soldiers dependant on drugs to stay sane might not be the best at undercover work.
**Also, sudden Osman appearance #3. Unlike her predecessor, this CINCONI likes to be out and about so she can deliver important information personally instead of sitting in an office. It's not like she has an intelligence agency to run or anything.
** brings us the long-lost daughter of everyone's favourite happy sacrificial soldier man Sergeant Forge, proving that there's at least one person in-universe that cared enough about the Spirit of Fire to actually try and look for it instead of moping for years.
** is poem that dares to be funny in this super serious grimdark universe, even if it is telling the rather sad story of not-Frank O'Connor.
**You know, , you had the chance to tell a story that might introduce some new, fun AI to preside over the whole trial, but nope, had to be BB and Roland, who I guess just took a break from the Infinity to lend a hand.
**When a seemingly unstoppable force arrives and conquers Earth, what would the highest-ranked individuals in the United Nations Space Command do? Organise a resistance? Regroup with their forces? Negotiate a peaceful surrender? Nope, better .
***Bonus points for Hood responding to the Created invasion by becoming an alcoholic. We feel ya, buddy, 343i has not been kind to you.
**You want to know what we got from Oasis? Sand. I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

**In an utterly unforgivable turn of events, we that the IsoDidact wasn't killed by Halo, and instead lived out the rest of his days peacefully with his family. How dare they make him happy.
* is released. Oh no. Oh please no.
**Eager to avoid the plot of Alien 3, Serina unleashes Jerome-092 from his frosty nap to deal with some Flood before she shuts herself down. You can really feel how few fucks he gives.
