"Shall we let the Flood consume our holy city? Turn High Charity into another of their wretched hives? No enemy has ever withstood our might. The Flood, too, shall fail."

-Prophet of Truth.

Since the planet Chief is entering has an inner Earth like surface, it could have the same purpose the Halo rings have. To keep species for study. Perhaps the Forerunners have multiple new kinds of alien species hidden inside the planet that no one has ever seen before?

Discuss.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

Thats why they are called new.


Precursors are the only thing we can say for right now though cryptum two will be out in a few months so maybe something else will be in that.

the reason that i haven't ranked up anymore in H3 is simple.
if im general and lose a single game, i will get about 20 messages asking me how much i paid for the 50 on ebay.
if im brigadier, i would get messages saying, cant get a 50, noob?

well, if we meet a new enemy it probably will be something we haven't seen before.

I hope that they don't come up with an entirely new race as a primary character. It'd just make 343i look lazy.

I still believe its the Precursors, specifically the Prisoner.

My money is on the ones who sended those ancient ships containing the powder to the milky way.

Technically if the prisoner is shown that will make Cryptum 2 not as significant as it should be. It would be the exact same thing as the halo book that bridged Halo 2 and Halo 3( I believe it was First Strike). Instead of continuing from Cryptum, the amount of questions that would deal with how and why the Precursor is there would probably force Greg to change how his book is written. Unless he decides to use a chapter or two to explain it all.

Yea,but i want him in it's original form instead of tentacles.

If he makes an appearance in his original form,then it should look terrifying,evil,ancient,...just like in Cryptum.

I can only dream of seeing it :)

Indeed.

If he is the Gravemind, then I can't wait to hear Dee Baker's epic voice coming from him again.

We might just see the Gravemind in his true form for once.

I just don't see why some people say that the Prisoner =/= the Gravemind. The connection is made astoundingly obvious, unless Mendicant Bias just happened to have disappeared for 43 years with someone else then do it again. /sarcasm

Why is it called Halo 4 if it doesn't have to do with the halos? (Rhetorical)
Also, it's not a Halo game without fighting the Covenant. So lame. I hate 343

Halo 3 ODST=No Halo rings
Halo Wras=No Halo rings

WTF should they change the name of a franchise just for the sake of an array of ringweapons?

The Covenant won't be in this game because they aren't important,they are nothing more then a shadow of their formal small empire.

They didn't changed the course of the universe history or even the galaxy,the Halo ancients did it.And those ancient races will have a big role in this game instead of the warm up known as the Covenant.

Don't get me wrong,i love the covies but they are aren't important,maybe they will appear late in the trilogy as allies to fight the new enemy.

Then Halo 4 could build up to his appearance, hinting at it at the end of the game, allowing for Greg Bear to finish his story.

You're easily manipulated...

  • 06.09.2011 1:28 PM PDT

Well, I'm not saying there will or won't but EVERY halo game (except halo and halo wars) has new species in it, so there is a 2/3 chance of having atleast 1 new species.

Halo 1 (all featured in halo 1)
Halo 2 (drones and Brutes? (depends on if your basing it off of games or books...))
Halo 3 (none)
Halo 3 ODST (Engineer)
Halo Wars (none)
Halo: Reach (Skirmishers)

so the chances of new species being in halo 4 is high.

Chinchillas with guns?

I write poetry, I write short-stories, I listen to hip-hop (80s&90s), Reggae, Classic Rock n Roll, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, and the 60s, 70s.

Can someone fill me in on this "Prisoner"?
The only Prisoners I know is the Halo 1 map and my uncle.

I'm doing my research on halopedia to understand some of the jargon on this forum but there's not much on the prisoner... Info please?

I'm not sure but I think the "Prisoner" is the last precursor or something,and IT'S NOT YOUR UNCLE FOR SURE!

Here is my theroy. In halo 4 you fight forunners. In halo 5 you fight forunners for a bit then the precesors (spelling ?). I think the new forunner books will shed some light on it.
