Unanswered Questions in Halo Season 2
Exploring the mysteries and potential story arcs in the upcoming season of Halo.
The Pivotal Event: Reach's Destruction

Season 1 of Halo left many questions unanswered, but the anticipation for season 2 is high. One of the most anticipated events is the coverage of the fall of Reach, a pivotal event in the Halo timeline. The planet's demise deals a crippling blow to the UNSC and catalyzes the central conflict between humans and the Covenant. With the series set before the conflict has even begun, the potential for a compelling storyline is immense.

In the games, the Covenant left Reach unscathed only because its location was unknown. However, with Makee working for the enemy, the Covenant should have all they need to invade. Reach's destruction is essential for maintaining source fidelity, and it remains to be seen whether it will happen in season 2.

The Mystery of the Halo Array
Another intriguing aspect of Halo season 2 is the potential feature of the Halo Array. While the characters have yet to encounter the Halo Array in the show, season 1 teased the possibility of them making it after Makee obtained a star map. However, when Makee and Master Chief sustained lethal injuries, their chances of reaching the Array plummeted.

Accessing the Halo Array would reveal critical information for the UNSC, including the history of the Forerunners and the existence of the Flood. If they can extract the necessary information from the Cortana-controlled Master Chief or figure out how to leverage their keystones to obtain the coordinates, season 2 may center on the eponymous rings.

The Future of Characters and Relationships
One of the intriguing dynamics that may unfold in season 2 is the relationship between Soren and Kwan Ha. Season 1 laid the foundation for a dynamic friendship between the two characters, but season 2 may struggle to reunite them while they develop individually.
