In that Halo 3 commercial that they referenced in that HuntTheTruth thing, wasn't that other kid with John some other spartan? Also, what's your opinion on the direction 343's taking the universe. You probably already know mine, but I'm just curious as to what someone who knows more about the lore than I do thinks.

Chronarch answered the first question quite well, so I'll skip that. I think their direction is overwhelmingly positive. They've undoubtedly stumbled (Halo: Initiation, Kilo-5 Trilogy, arguably others), but the majority of story content produced has either been very high quality or has set up plot points for future stories.

What was flawed in the Kilo-5 trilogy? I found it quite relevant and deep considering the civil unrest on Sanghelios in the second book.

Despite being a trilogy that attempts to bring to light morally questionable actions, it portrays most of its characters in a two dimensional way. The Sangheili are portrayed in an awful way that does not line up with the fact they've been a space faring civilization for over 3,000 years now.

Ok cheers

No, the identity of the two children was never revealed at the time. We didn't even know for sure if the young boy was John, it was intentionally ambiguous at the time, and then further expanded and iterated on to serve a future story.
