I'm curious of who the heck the enemy will be in Halo 4 and what the heck the purpose would be to go to a Forerunner planet? It just would be weird not fighting any covenent.IMO


Mendicant Bias sent John to the Forerunners to prove he has atoned for betraying them in the Forerunner-Flood war.

I'd imagine (call it wishful thinking) that the Forerunners may be the enemy. Cryptum reveals that they weren't the nicest bunch because of the Mantle, they sent humanity back to the Stone Age after all. I like to think that they gave humanity the Mantle temporarily before they were strong enough to return to the galaxy and take it back, but that's just my hopes.

The Covenant are still very much around, but they're like splinter factions now. The Elites are still at war with the Brutes 6 years after the war.


Yes I figured they would more than likely become the enemy. As for the Covenant... If we are indeed still outside the Milky way... then there wouldn't be any Covies even close to being out that far for any reason. Nor would there be any humans. Taking away the human weapons. And people would become pissed. :/

Btw aj you are like the Halo Guru.


It depends whether we switch perspectives, I'd love to go back to the roots of Halo 2 where we play as Thel and John throughout the campaign. I'd like to see this happen with Halo 4.

Thanks. :P

I agree. Playing as Thel would be and was awesome. Going back home and see that the Covenant has only gotten stronger through new leaders? Epic war breaks out on the Sangheili planet. Priceless. But where would Bias and MC break into all that?

And also is it possible that the covenant may have been correct and there is in fact a "Great Journey". Maybe not totally how they thought though. because I believe Didact spoke of a great journey as well.

The Great Journey was actually what happened after the Rings were activated when the Forerunners went to "follow in Their footsteps" - as the Didact put it ("Their" being the Precursors).

No. And Onyx was destroyed, all that's left is the Micro Dyson Sphere that is 3 meters in diameter in normal space and it's surrounded by trillions of pissed off Sentinels.

- Red Team (3 Spartans)
- Black Team (4 Spartans)
- Grey Team (3 Spartans)
- Blue Team (3 Spartans)

also, since a "smart" AI requirs either a huge building full of servers or a spartan's armor to power it, wouldnt that affect the spartans sheilds or hud in some way

I would like to be a Mythic Member, or a mod.

REALLY BAD. I believe I deserve it, I am very loyal to the dear Bungie forums and want to keep everything in tip-top shape. Its always a real pleasure to be on the forums and I want to be recognized here.

Hopefully one day we will know the truth.

Two more things, first, how many shield worlds are there.
Second, if humanity had been exploring space for so long, why were none of thes planets found.

It's never stated.

Second, if humanity had been exploring space for so long, why were none of thes planets found.

They found at least two, that was Onyx and the one from Halo Wars, but they did not know that it was a Shield World.

Cortana was flash-cloned from Halsey's brain, therefore they are similar - Halsey also notes that Cortana looks a lot like her daughter, Miranda.

could the covenant ever recover, i mean the odds are astronomical that no covenant survived. plus there seemed to be millions of prophet type species from the view we get in halo 2

The Covenant's leadership collapsed with the death of Truth, the de-facto ruler of the Covenant.

The San 'Shyuum were very few in number, the Reformists fled their homeworld in the Forerunner Dreadnaught before their planet's sun went supernova. The Stoics were left behind.

Then the San 'Shyuum got into a war with the Sangheili, that decreased the Reformist population a lot until they told the Sangheili of the Great Journey - setting aside their arms and joining to make the Covenant.

Since then, the San 'Shyuum spent the majority of the time attempting to preserve their strongest genes to ensure the survival of their race. When the Flood arrived at High Charity, the vast majority of the Covenant's Prophets were wiped out.

I'd speculate that only several dozens are left, too tired to carry on.
