Subject: Let's Talk Halo 4.

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

We have had a lot of Reach canon discussion and Cryptum disccusion recently. Let us discuss Halo 4, in general.

The most prominent thing on my mind is simple; we know that Master Chief is headed to land on the unknown Forerunner planet, but where will he go from there? Will we play intermittent Arbiter levels where we are hunting down the last Brutes? What will be the Chief's journey from here on out? Is the Halo Array under threat?

Discuss!

I'm guessing the Chief will have to team up with the remaining Forerunner to eradicate the Flood once and for all. We haven't seen the last of them that's for sure.

Personally, I think the Forerunners may turn out to be foes. Well, that's my fan fictions talking but... :P

Now couldn't cortana be in 2 places at once? So whats to say that Mr. Sparky couldn't have transfered over the forunner network to this planet. I think the forunners, flood, and Mr. Sparky should have a roll in halo 4 if 343i does so.

That would also be interesting, especially considering that Cryptum explains how many Forerunner disdained humanity. Perhaps even after the Halo's were fired some of their old hatred lingered, at for some of the population. Obviously others wouldn't see it this was as they eventually chose us as Reclaimers, but perhaps there is a small pocket who still don't like the idea of humanity gaining power. It'd make for an interesting turn anyway.

I put the laughter in manslaughter

Did many humans look like Master chief though during the Crptum war?

I personally think its gonna be Chief stuck on a forerunner world, cortana going crazy and taking over, gonna do something bad, and chief has to stop/save her.

By the description of Chakas I would guess that the Chamanune were early H-sapiens, so yeah, probably a good chunk of the human at least resembled the Chief.

Yeah, I always liked to think that humanity only got the Mantle temporarily so the Forerunners could one day take it back.

I know there's bugger-all chance of it ever happening, but it only took 1 Forerunner to corrupt the rest of the Council.

What does cortana and Mr. Sparky have in commen, they are both Forunner AI correct?
Lets say there is a few forunners still in stasis, Cheif and cortana go to the planet to try and contact earth. Mr. sparky takes over all the systems, robots left on planet, and has full control of it. Cortana and Mr. Sparky duke it out, cheif dukes it out with the bots, and ect.

Wrong. Cortana is a human AI.

Wrong. Cortana is a human AI.

Being Rampant she could make the claim that shes a forerunner AI or a part of one, something like that.

  • 03.11.2011 11:20 AM PDT

After playing reach cortana seams to me to be retrived forunner AI. As for Spark was a machine that could network with forunner systems right *as the same for cortana*. How many halo rings are there, could they each have a spark that are all one AI? I have not read any of the books just played all the games.

*edit*

Could you give me a link to that? I probably won't find it on my own, and I want to read it.

Chief lands on a terraformed Reach to find that the Covenant is trying to be rebuilt with a Brute Alphamale as leader. Later in the campaign, They end up fighting on a secret Halo ring thousands of lightyears away from Reach, Cortana goes rampant, and Chief has to decide wether to kill her or get her to activate Halo.

There could be "rebel" forerunners that you fight against with the other forerunners?

Thats impossible. Cortana was created and based off of Dr. Halsey's mind and personality. She can't be a Forerunner AI.

Here you go.

It's part of the fan project Halo: Revolutions a few of us spent about 7 months working on, Absconditus is the first in a series of post-Halo 3 stories I'm doing.

No. Cortana was flash cloned from Halsey's brain in 2549, there's no evidence at all to so much as hint at her being a Forerunner construct.

If this is from 1 of many books it means nothing to me. My Halo exp has not been altered with the books that are around. Don't get me wrong its great people wrote their hearts out I just haven't read any to ruin my Halo game exp. Take away all those books and what would you think otherwise?

Wake me when you need me is all I'm going to say, then jumps ahead of time leaving a great story gap.

Close, but the plague killed those infected with it, and the ignorant are still alive.

Why would you assume that she is anything other than a Human AI? Halsey say the that she is the Guardian/Caretaker of the Forerunner structure, but I interpreted that to mean that ONI (Office of Naval Intelligence) put here in charge. Also, at the start of Halo CE, she has no idea what the Halo arrays do. Any Forerunner AI would know about them. It is stated in The Fall of Reach that she was cloned from Dr. Halsey's brain. I think it might also be mentioned in her journal.

How would reading a book ruin the experience of the games?

  • 03.11.2011 8:51 PM PDT

One thing is for sure: the Forerunners and Precursors will be even more prominent then before.

War Never Changes

MC ends up finding The Spirt of Fire on the planet with everyone still in cryo. He wakes them alerting near by (new Enemies, Flood, or Forerunners) so 1st mission is defending the crew from a small wave of enimes. the rest would be looking for a forerunner station the could send a distress beacon to alert the UNSC that the Spirt of Fire and MC is there. ending with them Fleeing the planet. Halo 5? finish off the Brutes or finding the and dstroying the other Halo Rings.

  • 03.11.2011 9:27 PM PDT

117 FOREVER

Yeah, I may be wrong but I don't think the planet he entered the atmosphere of on the legendary ending was Onyx. Because in the book Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, the Spartans plant nukes if all goes wrong to stop the covenant getting to the core room, I think. But yeah, Kurt a Spartan II, blows it up to stop the covenant when he see's a heap of covenant walking toward him. (The fleet Master snarled at Kurt, and the translation filtered through his helmets speaker: "One last fight, demon. And we shall reopen the silver path." "Die?" Kurt laughed. "Didn't you know." He told the elite. "...Spartans never die." Kurt turned his gauntlet face up and pressed the detonator. -Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, page 372.)

Halsey's Journal, which ships with the Reach Limited and Legendary Editions, states this. You are simply assuming from a misinterpretation of dialogue in Reach that she is a Forerunner AI, while the book that shipped with the game says otherwise.
What would be the point of changing the information of the same source?
