The premise of these articles is to pose the question of “What if?” in varying Halo scenarios. Most will be in-universe “What If?” questions, however, some will also be about the real world Halo community and business of Halo.
Here are some examples of “What If?” questions that will be posed:
•  What if Cortana didn’t die at the end of Halo 4, instead was saved and reached meta-stability?
•  What if you were in charge of 343, how would you handle the Halo franchise?
•  What if Master Chief were killed off, who then would take his place?
•  What if the Didact had won at the end of Halo 4?
•  What if Bungie were still in charge of the Halo franchise?
These and many more “What if?” articles will be posted over the next several months.
The way it will work (starting with the second article) is that I will post the question from the previous week, for which you will have had time to write your responses. I’ll post my response, then your responses as well. At the end of the article, I’ll give the next question for you to consider writing a response to for the next week. That pattern will repeat weekly.
Please respond by e-mail for these articles as I do not want to comments section potentially clogged up here. Responses for the What If? column can be sent to [email protected]. In your response, please give your screen name here as the name of the author of the response. If you are not yet registered with HFFL, you can still respond to the “What If?” articles. Registration to HFFL is FREE, btw. Click “REGISTER” for instructions.
Okay, so let me ask the first “What if?” question…
What if the Covenant had not found humanity?
This is quite a loaded question here. Lots to ponder. I won’t give you those ideas/thoughts though, so as not to sway your respective answers.
You have until 6pm EST Friday March 21 to get your reposes to me. They can be as short as a sentence or several paragraphs long. Please try to keep to no more than 500 words. Also, PLEASE run spell check on your responses. If it looks like I have to do a lot of editing to your response, it may not be posted.
