Subject: A Halo 4 trailer analysis thread

they need to keep jetpacks out of halo 4. he never used them in halo:CE - Halo 3. why use them now? it would almost ruin the game for me. itd feel like reach all over again and i definitely dont want to feel that with the master chief. they need to keep attachments out. we arent playing CoD. no armor lock. no jetpacks. none of that useless and non-halo crap. the armor shouldnt have changed considering he was in a cryo.

the jet pack just doesnt add up with how in halo 2 he just floated with the bomb to the ship. why didnt he use his thrusters? as for gameplay, for multiplayer, they seriously need to take time and make maps instead of using forge to make ones. i got sick of the forge style really fast. talk about repetative environment. i'll be more excited for it if its nothing like reach. they need to focus equally on story as the MP. Theres nothing wrong with classic halo. i havent found a single game that has beat halo 2 and 3. if theyre gonna have forge, make it so its a mix between halo 3s and reach's. i got sick of things goin thru the ground real quick

plus they need to make sure the master chief performs like he did in halo 3. not lower his ability. I am curious how they plan on doing the next one. im just hopin that (like i said) its nothing like reach.dont get me wrong, reach is a great game! but compared to the other halos? its at the bottom of my list of halos.

Not really. Your mom is over quite enough to make my fears mute.

You're a mod, you should be used to that.

That is not a jetpack, i thought this was common knowledge now.....

those are anti-gravity thrusters for zero-gee combat/maneuvers, it has been a part of MC's suit for the entire halo series.

as long as it'd stay as zero gravity boosters and not a jet pack, i wouldnt mind. as it would kinda make sense i guess

i kinda figured it was where the energy was held or somethin. i wasnt quite sure what it was either

  • 06.07.2011 11:30 PM PDT

yeah i guess the thrusters would make sense then lol

  • 06.07.2011 11:35 PM PDT

i had wondered why those pods were there

Am I the only one who thinks the jetpack may mean there will be zero gravity combat? Just like a hint or something?


New thing to add to my Halo 4 wishlist

youre fukd up... how could you want the jetpack out of the game? though I do agree the forge maps were just cheap in Reach

What do they mean?

My theory:
The activation of the unfinished Halo installation 04 above the Ark installation 00, combined with the partial entering of the portal created by the Ark caused time and space to warp. Maybe to Chief and Cortana, time has not passed, but in reality they have effectively traveled back in time to a Forerunner Shield World just before the original firing of the Halo rings (100,000 years ago).

This means that the enemy is still the Flood, but a more powerful Flood. We can assume the Flood is more powerful 100,000 years ago because the Forerunners were forced to activate the Halo Array when they had virtually unlimited resources to fight them.

As for the Shield World, it could be controlled by the Forerunners or a post rampant Mendicant Bias. If it's MB, then he could see MC and Cortana as threats.

Of course this is all my speculation and I could be totally off base and wrong. But there you have it.

Eh, I don't think the enemy would still be the flood. The Gravemind was very much eliminated on the Ark, so the remaining flood would be running around like infected chickens with their heads cut off until they killed each other or just disintegrated from unknown causes.

I have a feeling the object at the end of the trailer was Onyx, but it's only a theory, though (canon-wise) by the time Halo 3 was over, the planet had turned into mostly sentinels and had imploded in on itself with Halsey and gang stuck inside the Core world.

I really do hope they stick with canon in Halo 4. I'd like to see Cortana go even deeper down the rabbit hole that is rampancy. I'd like to see her eventually turn on MC and have to be destroyed, but would MC do what has to be done?

I don't believe it could be Mendicant Bias, because that epic battle of the AIs was near the Ark so long ago... And both halves of the Dawn went through the portal, though they came out in different places.

So much to speculate on while we await Halo 4's arrival, so much to hope for. I just hope that the canon sticks... Please!

Que Pasta...?
:D

jediknightvetro- The pistol MC has is most likely a new weapon. It isn't an attachment, you can tell because it flares after being shot, then is replaced by another grenade or other external attachment applied after being fired.

Ok, A quick point about the pistol:
As well as it flaring, just after firing the top pops up, much like (this is the only example I can think of) a dart gun, perhaps, Or it could simply be it's way of ejecting a case. Either way, the chief then slaps the top back into place.

You were totally and absolutely correct in every way, I don't know why we were arguing, you're so amazing I should never have doubted you.

Jetpack only works as a pickup ability, and God forbid if it does return, it had better be as such.

Your MOM is MC

Why thank you good sir, I am glad you noticed. Did you know my dad is Samus Aran? :)

OT: You have to realize that this trailer was a CGI trailer made by a third party. However, certain elements, like why the Chief looks different are deliberate story elemets we have yet to know. We can't critique a trailer we have absolutely no idea what is going on in it.

Lets hold our thoughts until we know more, shall we (and when has 343 ever broken canon again?)

  • 06.08.2011 6:57 AM PDT

I saw a video which said theres alot of easter eggs in the halo 4 trailer first thing I can think of is seven cryotubes with chief, and just wondering at the end of Goo how many were in the dyson sphere? others it would seem perhaps the brain implantation is a reference to the augmations chief had?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fa7cVxVhsk we may have to look even deeper, considering o connor is dwelling very deep into expanded canon this may be what we have been wanting for ages

It is entirely possible, also the oracle 343 ( i assume must be a type of AI) has lived for ages and not gone completly rampant maybe thats why in halo reach you havd to give cortana to keyes becuase they are using part forerunner in her so she could live for longer?

It still has no reason to be there canonically. That's my highest concern. Anyone can get away with a "just because" but Halo hasn't done such a thing so for it to start now is preposterous.


Excuse me? Has there never been Zero-G combat in the Halo Canon. Halo 2 (FIRST LEVEL), Contact Harvest, Fall of Reach. Zero-G combat is all over Halo.

His reasoning is actually completely valid. Chief hasn't changed armor since Halo 2. People forget that. Why didn't he just use these random thrusters in Halo 2 when he first got the suit anyway? Don't say he didn't know it was there because there's a thing called a HUD that displays information like that. The armor wouldn't have had a display for the thrusters' usage if it wasn't there.

Also, I could care less about gameplay. I'm going to deal with whatever I get, the only thing I'm worried about at this point is the story.
