Subject: Halo 4

These are my basic plot points for a Halo 4 game. It does not contradict any canon, as far as I know, and actually makes a lot of sense once it all comes together. These are all my ideas. I have not read any other Halo 4 threads, so if any of my ideas sound like yours, then great minds think alike, I suppose.


-The game starts with the Chief and Cortana floating towards the unknown planet that we saw in Halo 3. They enter the atmosphere and crash onto the surface. Throughout the game, you discover all the secrets behind its' creation.


WHAT THE PLANET IS

-The planet is a Forerunner built world. It was built along with the Halo rings and the Ark. Like the Ark, it is outside of the Milky Way galaxy, and is out of range of the Halo rings. The planet, while artificially built, is completely self-sustaining, having the ability to grow food, create oxygen, etc. All the necessities to sustain life.

-When the Forerunner activated the Halo's, they left the galaxy en route to this newly built planet. The planet was meant to be a new start to the Forerunner civilization, a safe place that they could begin rebuilding and expanding on.

-By some unknown means, some Flood still remained and managed to find a way to board their ship(s), hiding out until the Forerunner reached their destination.

-After the Forerunner made it to their new homeworld, they fell under a second attack. After the first battle with the Flood, they were much more vulnerable and were easily overwhelmed. With the Halo's being out of range, and no other options, the Forerunner were overrun by the Flood.


HOW THE CHIEF ENDS UP ON THIS PLANET

-The Ark has two portals, one leading to Earth, the other leading to this planet. The Halo's cannot be fired directly from the planet, so they have a portal leading to and from the Ark, in case they ever needed to fire them again.

-Reading the Terminals on the Ark, you found out that Mendicant Bias was talking to the Chief. Right before 117 activated Installation 04, Mendicant Bias states that he made a mistake turning against his creators and he wants them to know he has changed, and the Chief will be his example. When the newly re-built Installation 04 fired, it heavily damaged the Ark. Right before the portal collapsed, Mendicant Bias changed the coordinates from earth to the Forerunner planet. Thus, the Chief and Cortana go through the portal as the portal switches to the Forerunner planet coordinates.


WHAT THE GAME WILL BE ABOUT

-The Chief and Cortana discover that the Forerunner planet is infested with flood, and they are actually the infected Forerunners.

Because these flood are infected Forerunners, they are highly intelligent. Unlike previous forms of flood, they can think and work together without a central Gravemind. They can build, repair, modify and even invent new Forerunner technology. These flood present a fresh new challenge, as they are highly tactical in battle, using technology and outsmarting opponents in battle situations. Unlike the other games, these flood could be very formidable foes.

Throughout the game, you will be battling the flood infested forerunner and their technology, such as sentinels and whatever else the Forerunner or flood may have created. You will have to become resourceful, adapting to the new weapons and technology, as no UNSC or Covenant weapons will be on this planet.

-The Chief and Cortana's main priorities are to get off the planet, and if possible, eradicate the local flood while doing so. They devise a plan to highjack a Forerunner ship and use its' slip-space capabilities to make it back home.

-They also figure out a way to either eradicate the local flood, or destroy the Forerunner-built planet. (I have not thought of an interesting way for them to do either of these yet, so I'll keep thinking...)

-The Chief and Cortana manage to steal a Forerunner ship and make it off the planet. The game ends with the flood (and possibly planet) being destroyed, Cortana setting coordinates to Earth, and the ship jumping into slip-space.


LEGENDARY ENDING

-At a distance, you see the planet after the Chief and Cortana jumped into slip-space en route to Earth. After a brief moment, it shows one Forerunner ship, then several, coming into view. A few seconds later, they jump into slip-space.


These are the basic plot points I could think of so far. I know a lot of people will think that a game with only flood as enemies will get boring, repetitive, etc. But these flood won't be anything like the flood from the other games. Thanks to the super intelligence of the Forerunner, they can be turned into a very formidable and dangerous foe, rivaling that of the covenant, maybe even worse. Also, this scenario lets developers be as creative as they want and completely change the Halo weapons, tossing out all the old weapons without having to give a single explanation. You're on a new planet, not a single human or covenant has ever been there, no UNSC or Covenant weapons will be there. It'll be completely new weapons, all Forerunner and whatever the flood may have invented. Imagine the kind of firepower the Forerunner would have! New locations, new weapons, new vehicles, new grenades, new enemies, this game could refresh the Halo franchise and add all new stuff to it, instead of recycling everything from game to game. What do you guys think? I'll update stuff as I think of it.

Wrong forum. Reach is a prequel not Halo 4, and because you are in the Reach forum it is off-topic.

On topic:
I'm pretty sure the forrunners did make planets to escape the Rings rays, they're called shield worlds.
The game would probs be boring fighting flood though all of it.

They didn't build the planet to escape the rings, they built the planet to act as their homeworld once the rings were activated. And if you read, the flood wouldn't be boring because they would be highly intelligent and tactical in battle, like Elites but a lot smarter.

I AM talking about things that will be IN Reach. Halo's will be in Reach, Master Chief will be in Reach, the planet at the end of Halo 3 will be in Reach, the flood will also be in Reach. Whether or not you will see them is unknown, but they definitely exist in Reach's timeframe. Next??

Actually Halo 4 IS confirmed, but bungie wont be making it, be better off sending your ideas to 343 Industries.

And OP, you contridicted yourself. Your thread has to do with halo, this forum has Halo in the name, so you can post it here, so since you said that, anyone can tell you this is wrong here because they are posting in the subject, and you posted, so its the same posting.

Figure out that in your head sir!

Hey, that's not fair, I can't argue your statement because I have no clue what you just said! And maybe I will send this to 343, because OBVIOUSLY Bungie forum posters just don't appreciate my genius.

So technically, Bungie hasn't stated that these things won't be in Reach, so you can't tell me that they have nothing to do with Reach. Checkmate.

Heres a link, it mentions what the company will be doing, and it does say a game based after Halo 3, im not sure if Halo 4 will be the name but it is about Master Cheif and Cortana and what happens with the legendary ending.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6232469.html

And I made it so it was confusing, basicly Since you posted that this was ok here was because it was a Halo item and Reach is a Halo item it is ok for him to post here cause it has to do with a Halo item, AKA the forums.
