This line in particular reeks of ME3. Not sure if want.

So you guys mentioned that the Multiplayer will have its own story and explanations. Will they intertwine with the single-player Campaign and story? –DS xHunterZx SD

That’s an interesting question and the short answer is that they are connected, but you shouldn’t spend too much time wondering how. All of our current experiences, games, terminals, books, etc., are all interconnected. Sometimes directly, sometimes tangentially, but from this point on, everything matters. If you’re new to the series, don’t panic. None of the external experiences are necessary to understand the game plot, and vice versa. Each Halo story will work as a standalone piece, but the more you experience, the more resonance (and Easter Eggs) you’ll get.

It really shouldn't be as bad as ME3's case, as Halo is more based on the multi-player than the single-player anyways.

The only thing they said was something along the lines of "You will finally know the reason red spartans fight blue spartans", I hope it's just that, multiplayer doesn't need story imo.

My guess is some kind of training simulator or combat school, akin to the one in Ender's Game.

I hope they don't try giving multiplayer an in-depth story...

Training Sim, Combat School, fine, but I hope it doesn't turn out to be like a rogue Spartan unit or something.
