Out of all of the posts, this post by Wazooty, is the most insightful. I agree with Wazooty. If you believe that this game will continue along the literary storyline, the Micro-Dyson Sphere is the most logical place to start Halo 4. It would also explain how the game can be so vast in nature.
At the end of "Ghosts of Onyx," Dr. Halsey explains to the remaining Spartans and CPO Mendez that they are within the core of Onyx, in a "slipspace bubble of compressed dimensionality." Although the slipspace bubble is small in terms of physical size (small like a bomb-shelter), its "compressed dimensionality" gives it a relative size of "a radius equivalent to the distance of the Earth orbiting its sun (Nylund, pg. 380)."
So, if this is the setting for Halo 4, 343i will have a "planet" with a diameter of 150 million kilometers to work with.
Also, it would allow Dr. Halsey to remain in the storyline. And if anyone thinks like me, it would be pretty badass if CPO Mendez had a role in the game, along with Fred, Linda, Kelly, Tom, Lucy, Ash, Olivia, Mark, and the rest of Team Katana.
Other aspects this setting and character line-up would add, includes the S-III's SPI armor, which although not as strong as the S-II armor, does have constant cloaking/camo capabilities. And of course, the fact that they are in a Forerunner world/shelter means that the game creators would have the ability to start over brand new with enemy and weapons development.
Regardless, the Halo franchise has not let me down so far. It must be difficult trying to gain the approval of an extremely critical fan base. I have loved all of the games, and if you do as well, buy the books. Especially Eric Nylund's books. They are great, and in all honesty, I have enjoyed them as much, if not more than the games.
The only thing that sucks is that Lt. Commander Kurt Ambrose will not be in it if it were to take place in the Dyson Sphere. He is a real badass as well. Thanks for the insight Wazooty.
I'm just going to start telling Wazooty any of my thoughts and let Wazooty say it b/c i think even Wazooty notices that what i say doesn't matter until he/she says it >.>
