This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

I WANT TO SEE A GODDAMN MA5K Assualt Rifle in that game.

If they do that, I will be a very happy person.

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?



I took from Reach that Cortana was created using forerunner techniques or technology, and while we know she is flash cloned from Dr Halsey, there is nothing stopping her from being of forerunner design. It certainly would explain her appearenty being significantly more human-like (sentient?) than other smart AIs.

Not to mention it woulld be a get-out-of-jail free card if she is, as I suspect, becoming meta-stable. :D

No, Cortana was created using 100% human tech. Her only relation to Forerunner technology is that she is tasked with deciphering the information stored beneath Sword Base. She was not created by it. And the reason seh seems human like is purely an aesthetic choice made by her. All AIs chose their avatar and persona which create their "personality".

In reality if Halo is to be revived, Halo 4 will have to completely redefine Halo's gameplay mechanic into something totally new.

That would include:

Updating controls

Adding completely new enemies and plot twists

Scrap most of the weapons except for the MA5C as that is Master Chief's only weapon that he stows away.

This all can be done canonically, as Cortana said that it "would be years" until they find them. Meaning Halo 4 can take place hundreds of years in the future.

The last and final thing that will make Halo 4 good is that they need to understand that the campaign/storyline comes first, because I can't remember the last FPS I played that wasn't open world with a good story line.

If 343 doesn't pull this off for their first Halo game, then I believe Halo is dead.
