In an interview with the Seattle Times, the director of the Halo series at 343 Studios, Frank O’Connor, reveals they've been working on Halo 5 for a while.
O’Connor revealed most of the current work for the game has been prototype stuff in regards to new technology the next Xbox might contain and to the storyline itself.

When asked during an interview, “You’re presumably working on the next version — “Halo 5” or whatever it’s going to be called will be the anchor tenant on the next version of the Xbox, right?” O’Connor offered the reply, “We’ve done as much prototyping and storytelling and the future arc of the universe as we have on technology. So we’re definitely working on the future but in some ways it’s technologically agnostic at this point.”

He also stated the series has no signs of slowing down in terms of ideas for the storyline by stating their "universe" is as rich as the ones in the Star Wars or Harry Potter series.
In regards to concerns about the series being milked, he didn't believe that is an issue since the public won't be concerned as long as the games remain good to play. Also said they are making sure future games don't create a convoluted mess with the overall storyline.
