Holy crap.

Why is everyone taking the CGI trailer as canon?

Was Halo CE's first trailer canon?
Was Halo 2's first trailer canon?
Was Halo 3's first trailer canon?
Was ODST's?
Reach's?

NO. SO WHY IS EVERYONE FREAKING OUT.
No one can hear you Caboose.

Welcome to your nightmare!

You obviously haven't met my younger brother then.

I admit I agree with you on some of your points, but still, give it a chance.

Halo 4 should finish Chief's story. It needs to happen in my opinion, but the ending should be solid; no ifs or buts.

After that, I believe that the proposed Halos 5 & 6 will simply kill off the story, in my opinion, a new trilogy is overkill. I imagine them churning out games every year to try and satisfy the community and turning the series into COD.

I pray to God that I am dreadfully mistaken.

Your opinion is irrelevant. The relevant fact is there are hundreds of stories to be told in the Halo universe. Halo will continue for decades, in the tradition of Star Trek and Star Wars.

Not to be a jerk or anything, but technically the combined power of the Halo array only had enough power to destroy all life on the GALAXY, and that perhaps that was the small scale version of something they simply didn't have time to creat( just guessing on the details) and since their machines work still, it could be that a NEW super weapon is now ready... and capable of destroying all life EVERYWHERE!

I don't judge games over their trailers because I actually have more than 7 brain cells. I admit it may have a few minor flaws, but that's it, and like I said, it's just a trailer not the actual game.

The Flood are dead, gone. It was already stated by bungie that they where never seen again.

The entire population of Earth was cut in half as the first battle of Earth began... Halo Encyclopedia
But, upon further reaserch, the surviving human population was guessed to be at 16 million. At the start of the war it was over 39 billion.



There could still be more of them in statis.

And gravemind should have survived the firing of 04B remember how the Precursor survived it.


It dosnt matter if he survived, the Flood is trapped on 00, without any food and without any means of escape or makeing it back to the Galaxy. They're forever stuck in Dark Space.

It seems to be heading the direction I predicted it would head. This is a good thing (for me, anywhow.)

I can only hope.
Im just praying that this dosnt kill it.
I dont think we should have told Johns "other" story yet. Wait a decade at least.

So a little off topic but...

Did anyone notice how there shouldn't have been rolling fireballs or explosions on the Dawn's outer hull?
Since the Dawn's deck were all compromised there isn't even any atmosphere to fuel it either.

Dude. We are playing as a space marine shooting evil aliens and finding hidden sci-fi stuff left by a long extinct race. We left the realm of reality a looooooooong time ago

P.S. i didn't mean to make it sound flaming. I've been an avid fan of halo since the first one and personally think halo 4 will turn out amazing. IDK i might just be nieve

P.P.S. i just re watched it and there actually aren't any rolling fireballs except at the end but thats just an explosion. All the others are just flames that do go out the moment the leave there fuel source which i still don't know what is. MAJYK!!

What the -blam!- hell are we going to fight this "new threat" with?


There might be something of use on that big robot-looking planet thingy they showed in the teaser.



This was a huge mistake 343. Cheifs story had come to an end


Did you see the legendary ending to Halo 3? They might as well have just put the words "Master Chief's story is not over yet" on the screen.

This. Hell I believe stuff like the armor changing and the pistol are showing what WILL happen. Chief at one point gets new armor (Fitting it will be Mjolnir Mark VII) thus the UNSC is involved. The pistol/grenade launcher is probably showing a new weapon mechanic and the "jetpack" is likely showing three dimensional movement meaning some parts of the game are in space.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I'm not going to judge the story after ONE TEASER TRAILER. But, if 343 is what I think they are, they're likely to flesh out Halos story. Think about it. The books were your source for the Halo universe. The games were more or less just putting you into the action. In Halo 4, I'm hoping, they mix the two. Putting us in the action, but really fleshing out the vastness of the Haloverse in the game like the books do. But, again, there was only ONE TEASER TRAILER and who knows what will happen.

  • 06.07.2011 5:29 PM PDT

Who knows. Maybe this next trilogy will be better than Halo CE-3.

  • 06.07.2011 5:39 PM PDT

I agree.
Besides, like others have said, there are infinitely more stories to be told of lots of people in Halo, like the fact that Master Chief is NOT the only spartan left. James was never confirmed dead, and if you read the books, you learn that the covenant had at least another one in cryo locked up.
There are a lot of loose ends that will probably not be tied up, but the fact is that they can be.

WHat? When did they capture a Spartan?

ten years from now have the halo fan-base will be older, more mature, and have a life, hopefully

So basically you are telling me that Bungie is in fact lazy?

So Bungie is telling us that we just happen, by chance, to find the only 3 installations in the entire galaxy that have Flood on them, and destroy them?: 2 Halo Rings and a random Gas Mining Installation. That the extragalactic Flood all came to the Milky Way all at once without going elsewhere first?

I can't believe you, for Bungie's sake.

Im not saying they're still not a threat.
But they're never seen again in the galaxy.
I'm just saying what i remember.
