It would be incredibly lame to include The Flood or Covenant.


The flood and the covenant are very important roles to the halo storyline. Even without the covenant, even just having the flood and sentinel robots that the forerunners created would be nice. After all, who is seriously gonna be this ancient threat? The flood is a very ancient threat, after all, it's because of the flood that the forerunners supposedly made themselves go extinct. Besides, no one wants to fight forerunners in halo 4, that would be unrealistic, and uncreative. So who else is there to fight?


I don't want to fight the Forerunners either,except some rogue AI's of them.

As for the ancient enemy,candidates:
-The Flood
-The ones who sended ancient crude ships to the milky way(the floods arrival)
-The timeless one
..

Either way The Precursors and Flood would have some connections with it.

But the Covenant are OUT,they were nothing more then a zealous small empîre.

However i would love to see a second campaign playing thel vadam in the ungoing civil war.


Same dude. I wanna play as Thel again, he made halo 2's campaign so great.

But yea, I wanna see the inner forerunner world, with its inhabitants, some soldiers from ONI and maybe even spartan red team from the spirit of fire. If Anyone in general wants some screenshots from halo 4 with some information, send me a emssage, I can't put them on a thread because it would be breaking rules, warning tho, it's a spoiler.

I would say that the "Ancient Evil" Master Chief is facing in Halo 4 are the "Precursors". I remember I read something about how they were the dominant race before the forerunners so maybe we get to fight them next :D. just a guess

the precursors are a possibility

More likely is that we will meet Forerunners since they're not extinct, only simply left the galaxy. My speculation would be that Forerunners would be allies with Master Chief since "ancient evil" would be Precursors. Seeing that Precursors are ancient alien races, capable to have Technology Tier 0 which it places that race to have ability to do god-like occurrences such as committing highest form of slip-space travel between galaxies, possibly between universes or having ability to accelerate the evolution of several or more intelligent biological species in short period of time.

i am debating the precursors being evil becuase that is predictable for us, yet i don't want them to be angelic based off of what the forerunners claim to know about them.

the only guesses we have right now are

Precursors,antithesis to the precursors, Creators of the ships the flood came on.


Covenant are confirmed out, forerunners are not evil,ancient, nor are they new and the flood are the same minus evil.

I feel like cortana is holding back a -blam!- ton of information from john. Possible time travel implications and maby a way to make AI's into sentient beings so that she can get some mc mac down.

either way the precoursers should come up, the prisoner, the flood, and the covenant. They are all going to be parts of this new series. It is a trilogy after all.

cortana tried to talk to john about stuff in the books but he just wasn't interested or was too busy at the moment.

did you not see the post above you? covenant are confirmed out and don't even exist anymore, the flood will be in to some unknown extent though.

Advanced Flood-infected Forerunner or Precursors?

Imagine what would happen if the Flood were left to their own devices inside an inverted planet, with nowhere to go, for hundreds of thousands of years. Would they be a tad more advanced and civilized?

The flood aren't a culture nor do they "work" like that.
not to mention they wouldn't be able to live that long without a constant supply of biomass

I don't think we should rule out the possibility of some kind of an appearance of the Covies. Surely what remains of them still hold blindly to their faith, as some people do no matter what countering evidence is brought up (2011 doomsday prophecy >.>)

But they'll likely take a more secondary role to whatever this threat is.

I imagine them to be akin to the Ferel Locusts from Gears of War 3; broken, tattered and defeated, they still retain their one overriding goal: kill humanity while taking a back seat to the Lambent and the "regular" Locust.

Who comfirmed the covenant were out. What about the arbiter returning to his planet and thier involvment in forrunner technology and mythos? they are still hundreds of years ahead of humanity in thier knowledge of forrunner artifacts and tech, even if it is wrapped in religious crap.

Is halo 4 really just going to be focused on john. i would hope it is more all encompassing.

Please site who confirmed covy outness.

we have direct confirmation of them being out though not to mention the issue of them being in the area in the first place.

and the boring factor, wait another 2 years then make a game with cove remnants

It's not the forerunners I can tell you that. There is a reason why humans are the reclaimers. The forerunners specifically choose them to be their inheritors. Remember there are still two forerunner books to go. If anything our best guess is the timeless one (precursor). He obviously has a bone to pick with the forerunners. What better way than destroying them and the human race, the inheritors or their technology?

First off it is the forerunners so read the last terminal and go read cryptum with the lights on this time.

It is more likely that humanity is to reclaim what they lost to the flood and forerunners. forerunners left technology to help but humanity isn't using it much.

I've already read cryptum. I'm just saying that while the forerunners treated the humans pretty -blam!- during the first book SOMETHING must of happened to make them the reclaimers of their technology. I have not idea of what you mean by read the last terminal though. Please explain it for me.

that doesn't make them evil despite how wrong (and natural) it is. again that might have been the main benefactor in making them reclaimers or the fact they were suppose to have this "mantle" from the start.


it is simple, read the last terminal.

I've read it. It's with D talking to himself right? I obviously don't see what you're talking about in there to make them the enemies of H4.

  • 06.24.2011 7:01 PM PDT

Perception is everything.

I don't want to fight the flood again. I want a whole new enemy. I want a whole new set of everything, something to refresh halo.

I hope it's not the forerunners we're fighting. I mean I'm sure that would be cool, but I've always seen the forerunners as good guys. Hopefully we'll be fighting alongside them against a bigger threat.

If you actually read it then you wouldn't have said what you just did and i am say the forerunners are not the enemy's not that they are.

  • 06.24.2011 7:08 PM PDT

I believe it could be the forerunners planet that master chief and cortana are heading to.

I'd say the Forerunners.


Most probably this. I think that'd be a cool twist, to see the beings you thought were the good guys through the trilogy become the antagonists.


How would that work, though? Humans are reclaimers, the Forerunners succesors. Why would they suddenly try and kill MC?

Unless they are rogue Forerunners who want to kill everything or something.



They would probably want to kill MC for the same reason that 343 Guilty Spark wanted to kill MC.

  • 06.26.2011 5:06 PM PDT

I hope its the flood again. Just a lot stronger and scarrier.
