I don't think this is fake. Perhaps the "Dark New Foe" is the UNSC. I think im the first one to to consider that a possibility.

I wish this were real, I really do. Yet I just don't think it is.

I lol at the kids that think I've personally seen this information and I've personally seen the video.

I haven't personally seen any of it.


He did clearly state that in his Original post. So I don't know why you people are asking.

OT: It sounds...somewhat believable. I can believe ONI is there and stuff. I can't believe the weapon customization and everything. But I will keep an open mind on the whole thing and save this thread.

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

I like how on HBO Frankie said this is all BS and people still fall for it.

EDIT: Found the link someone mentioned: http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=107820 2%3Cbr%20/%3E%3Cbr%20/%3EOP%20and%20his%20stupid%20source%20t rolled%20us.

Interesting... Frankie could just be doing damage control. Halo's never been immune to leaks, so who knows... It would make sense we would get leaks now as they're probably preparing for a big magazine reveal and trying to set up the beta now.

I believe that it is likely that we will meet Dr. Halsey again (most likely in the shield world). She was a major character in Halo Reach which was the most recently released Halo title, and as not much is known to the players of that game of her fate, it would make sense that she makes a surprise reappearance in another Halo game. Writer's usually bring back characters who we do not know much about.

I dont understand why everybody thinks the Forerunners went poof, yeah it says that they activated Halo to starve the flood. It also says that they left a small percent of each species on a shield world to protect the species from extinction...Exactly my point. The Forerunners may have left a few of themselves on a shield world, then activated the Halo's. AKA Meaning the Forerunners might still live!

If I'm not mistaken... I think some Forerunners left the galaxy to go on "The Great Journy". I'm 95% sure on that, so yea I don't think they all died either.
Also Guilty Spark in Halo 2 didn't say they ALL died. Just the ones that were within the range of the Halo's activation.

Bungie had a history of saying certain details were not true and then we come to find out that the details were in fact true and they just wanted us to find out for ourselves, its a great marketing strat, they get us all hyped up to buy the game making us thing "WTF IS THE TRUTH IF NONE OF THESE IDEAS WE'VE COME UP WITH ARENT TRUE!!!!"

Think about it.. he JUST came out of a silent dark on and then decides to go on HBO? HBO?? out of anything he uses a paid broadcasting channel like HBO...He purposely wanted us to lose hope in this story that is obviously true.

Maybe the LEAK it's self was BS and the story was true. I mean if you get EVERY clue that bungie gave to use through both the marathon and halo trilogies (im not implying they are connected so don't comment on that) you can actually tell what's going to happen in future games. Before Halo 3 there were clues of the "ark" and of where it was. The truth of it being in africa was "leaked". Think about it..

Seems believable, it may as well be.

Doesn't tell us very much information, we already knew the planet would most likely be forerunner as only the core Halo fans know anything about precursors.

Stupid customization in every game annoys me.


What's wrong with choice?

I hope you're right @Monitor117. This is a great time to be a Halo fan.

I remember the Halo 3 marketing in 2007 -- it was so huge and epic. My favorite part was not only the live action "Starry Night" commercial but also the Believe ads: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=halo+3+believe&am p;aq=f

I enjoyed Reach's marketing too, and the live action trailer, but because it was a darker game, it didn't have the fun summer feeling that the Halo 3 cover gives you. Really hoping they can tap into that again.

I have a feeling this will be true, and hopefully that just means they'll push up the Halo 4 info reveal and give us something special at Halo Fest. Anyone going to that?

In memory of those fallen in the defense of Earth and her colonies.

It sounds alot like Crysis. Im hoping that the multiplayer will at least be a true classic experience with the reduction of AAs and what sounds like CoD like mechanics.

I hope 343 doesnt get caught up in the money like Bungie and try an re-invent Halo once again with the introduction of ADS and customizable weapons.

Hoping this is fake to be honest, well some of it.

"They're coming back ... and there's a LOT more of them this time"
It could be 3 things.
Covenant.
Flood.
Forerunners.
By the use of "They're coming back" it leads me to assume that they were gone.
Well the Covenant wern't all killed were they? They just disbanded after truth was killed.
The flood? It could be, they supposedly killed them all. But in Halo Wars theres a flood controlled shield world. Maybe they survived?
Forerunners? They were gone. The story is on a forerunner planet, so maybe. Forerunners may have secretly used shield worlds to survive when they set of Halo.

Whatever this "Dark new enemy" is, it better have a good story. Halo 3 was entitled Finish the Fight for a good reason.

People are taking this way too seriously. I've already seen some people talking about the plot of Halo 4 using that "leak" as a reliable source when it in fact, is as reliable as me saying that I met a journalist yesterday who told me he had been showed a new trailer of Halo 4 which he had recorded and asked me do I want copy of it. At least OP could kindly say that the information shouldn't be used as a reliable source.

P.S. About that jurnalist: I said no. I didn't want to get spolied.

In Halo 3 Gravemind said that the flood would not be stopped, that the events would only slow them. So you can be assured that the flood are back, especially if it's a shield world.
