One of the most anticipated games of 2014 is the "Halo 5."The game is expected to return exclusively to Xbox. With Cortana's chip destroyed, fans are wondering if it is the end of the character. Here is what fans are expecting from the storyline of the game.

"Halo 4" saw the destruction of Cortana's chip but avid gamers will remember that Cortana is not entirely dependent on the chip. But will she return as the hologram again? What will be different in Halo 5?

Critics have been concerned about the storyline of the "Halo" series. With so many games released by the franchise over the years, some suggest that perhaps the storyline of the game is suffering some fatigue. The next instalment will need to deliver some exciting new game play along with an interesting story to silence the critics.

Perhaps one of the ways to make the franchise more interesting is to bring back Cortana in human form. There have been indications that this will eventually happen as the character is seen to want to be human.

Forerunner technology could be used to make the transformation. Gamers will remember that the composer in "Halo 4" was used to bridge the digital life and organic life, a fully functional technology like that could bring Cortana back as a human.

Action fans were a little disappointed with the lack of blood while shooting the Forerunners in "Halo 4." The franchise will have to choose to add more blood and gore to satisfy the action loving adult audience or keep it to a minimum to encourage the younger gamers to get on to the franchise.

One of the best ways to differentiate the new FPS game from its predecessors is by coming up with new game features and weaponry. Almost every other FPS game has a rifle, the sci-fi genre of games have the opportunity to make the rifles as different as possible.

A massive overhaul of the weapons and vehicles in the game could breathe fresh life and add excitement to the "Halo" franchise and future proof it for the next few years. Fans were not all that excited about the new Forerunner weapons.

New characters will need to be added, with the deaths of Sergeant Johnson, 343 Guilty Spark and the possibility that Cortana will not return, the franchise may need to introduce multiple new characters.

Apart from "Halo 5" another popular game highly anticipated is "Star Wars: Battlefront 3," click here to watch the trailer and read about the exciting upcoming game.
