if there were to be a halo 4, i doubt it would involve the other halos. if anything, it would be about the mysterious ending scene you see if you finish the game on legendary
Which is undeniably a Forerunner planet, so Halo will indeed be involved one way or another.
The status of other Installations aren't known, there's no mention of significant events regarding the Halo Rings by 2559 so we can assume that the threat is over - for the time being.
However, humanity inherited the Mantle that the Forerunners passed down to them before they left the galaxy. It's likely that humanity do find some other Forerunner installations and gain some kind of Tier 1 capability as Reach is revived in 2589. When I first read about this ending, which promted me to do it on legendary in the first place, i read that it was planet Onyx. I've never read the book, and i have my doubts about it, but is it possible for it to be that?
No. Onyx was destroyed, it is no longer a planet. All that's left of it is the Micro Dyson Sphere (about the size of a small bowl in normal space, many times the size of Earth in slipspace) and several trillion Sentinels floating around. I guess that means they didn't read the book either. Well, it would be interesting to actually see a forerunner planet rather than an installation they created. They probably won't, but im hoping Bungie makes another game about this cliffhanger. (i say probably because ive also read that Reach was supposed to be the last that they would make)
Bungie aren't contracted to make any more Halo games, they have fulfilled their contract with Microsoft and the next decade is being spent with Activision on a new IP.
If Halo 4 is coming from anywhere, it's coming from 343 Industries (thank god).
