Subject: My theory of 343i's first game

-Shadow Chief 3

Sorry if this is not as precise as most threads in this forum but I wanted to post my idea as well as see what others' thoughts are.

So my theory for "Halo 4" is that it is going to be related to a shield world, likely Onyx. Now most people have stated this relating to the Legendary ending of Halo 3, but I site other hints at Onyx specifically.

First, halo 3's terminals are centered around Forerunners and the "Sword and Shield" they developed to fend off the Flood during the Flood-Forerunner War.

More recently, it is obvious that Bungie wanted to expose people to at the very least the word "Onyx" and it's importance to the Halo universe. The final rank achievable in Arena as well as Commendations is "Onyx". Onyx is otherwise never mentioned (as far as I know) in any previous Halo game.

More importantly it is apparent that 343i wants to flush out the Forerunners and Precursors further with the Trilogy by Greg Bear. The Trilogy is likely to not finish for 3-4 years, which would tie nicely in around a game involving a Forerunner structure that is likely to possibly contain living Forerunners. This is the largest leap of my theory, which isn't much of one at all.

Even further with relation to the novels, a "Ghosts of Onyx sequel" is penned to Karen Travis, who is known for her strong personality/relationship-based works. I know we have no idea what the "sequel" will be about, and it is confirmed she is not picking up from Nylund left off, but it is related in some way to Ghosts of Onyx.

Tell me what you think, I know it is a very basic theory but many different angles seem to point towards flushing out the Forerunners/Precursors via another Forerunner structure.

Name's WIlliam,

For the love of God it's pronounced mister-shag, not misters-hag.

Whoof. This is a toughy.

In my perfect world (and this is just a hope as I have no credible speculation) the next Halo is playing as Srgt Johnson, a Spartan I, and fighting rebel insurrectionists.

The only speculation I can give is the thought that maybe some sort of shooter where you play as an arbiter during one of the attacks that gather more covenant species into your ranks? Maybe an attempt to gather a planet into the Covenant, but the planet resists and defeats the Covenant? Again, I have no support for this but it seems like an interesting story that has been hinted at before.

My best thread evar!

Don't care about 343's Halo. I will not buy it.

It'll probably be a CE remake just to rip on Bungie's success.

All your forklift are belong to us

Honestly if it is a Combat Evolved remake and not just close but perfect remake with update graphics and multiplayer and stuff I would drop reach to buy that the instant it came out.

Nah, they wouldnt do a game against innys

the thing that halo has that gains peoples approval above games like COD is that the enemies Arnt human, your either killing aliens, zombie aliens or spartans in matchmaking, which is probobly more justified with them being player controlled and competitive play

I was hoping for innys in halo reach, but then i came to that conclusion >.< Still though, heres hoping theyd risk it :P

Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of Murphy's Laws on the StarShip Enterprise

They're likely to create one further into the future, if they get one with the master chief, or into the past, as there's a lot of his life we haven't seen yet, or the forerunners if the chief went back in time
