Many people are saying campaign will be extended. I put today's 7:07 update image next to the legendary ending (link below). Looks even more plausible.

I think there is definately a prequel coming. There is no way there is going to be a sequal. Bungie would never lie to us. They said that Halo 3 was the last in the trilogy.

Plus S1. Master Chief is an S2. There is a clue.

This week is going to be very revealing! Can't wait for the podcast!

The theory of a prequel seems pretty credible considering the fact that the Spartan One Project, (or project orion) was a unit in the ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) that served as an intelligence service.

The first spartans that were trained were also held on a low profile and was officially called NavSpecWar Marines.

Why ''NavSpecWar Marines''? Well, the first spartans were just regular marines who had volunteerly signed up for augmentation and so on, and the testsubjects became Spartan Ones.

So, a prequel seems likely:)

what does the writing on the left say?

Thank you Bungie!

S1=Spartan 1
Holy -BLAM!-!

Halo is not Jesus. So, don't crucify it for not understanding it's power.

I love how Bungie are revealing this. In such cynical times it's lovely that they embrace the fact there are some of us that get a kick out of theatrics.

  • 09.22.2008 7:37 PM PDT

It's obviously part of the story for Gnop 2.

  • 09.22.2008 7:37 PM PDT

When looking up information on headlong i found this, "Although during the day Section 14 monitors almost all harbor traffic, at night it’s one of the city’s most notorious hangouts." I think s1 may be section 1 not spartan-I. I think S-1 somehow controls a city or something.

My guess is those tactical shooter rumors are true, being as S1s didn't have sheilds they would be the perfect choice. And who likes marines anyway :P we want SPARTANZ. S1s don't need to be like S2s with sheilds and such I bet they operate like regular marines, but on steriods GoW style.
It would be nice though to have regular Halo games though, rather than a tactical shooters, because to me it seems people made tactical shooters because Halo has regular old shooter on lockdown. Plus bungie will be drifting away from our beloved customization IMO because they will need new mechanics for all the features we have come to know and love in Halo3. And thanx for Sandbox if rumors are true.

Ah, seems interesting:)

However, if that planet is Onyx, which i am quite certain it is, then it supports the theory that it's a prequel thats heading our way.

Since the Spartan ones, or, rather the ONI had a base at Onyx, before the human-covenant war. :)

No, Bungie said that Halo 3 would end all the fights we started in halo 1. This means that the story can continue, but will not have anything to do with the previous games.

Why would it talk about the S1's leaving their cave though? Unless they're possibly referring to the monitors from S1?

Continuing my quest to kill all of the jokes who play Halo 3, ODST, and now Reach.

Well then Halo 4 makes a lot more sense. You see we never ever get to see anything about the first generation of Spartans. All we know is that Master Chief was a part of the Spartan-II project, key word "Spartan-II." I guess this means that all this time, the 1st Spartans have been isolated on the planet Onyx. If this is in fact Halo 4, I expect that we will see an integration of squad based movements and tactics, Master Chief's specialty =).

Ya, that part kinda got me.

You know you've been playing Halo too long when you sit down to dinner, fork in hand and in the corner of your vision you see "Press X to pick up knife. Hold X to dual-weild."

I <3 teh SI! He's so damn cute and alluring at the same time...

  • 09.22.2008 7:40 PM PDT

At the conclusion of "ghosts of onyx" there were several spartan 3s and a spartan 2 alive in the "time bubble". They could return at any random time frame in the human/covenenant war. I haven't read teh last book related to the halo universe so I'm not sure if anything from Ghosts of onyx was addressed
