Subject: Could This Be An Easter Egg in the Halo 4 Trailer?

I personally don't think it is, but this site is pretty good with Halo easter eggs: "In the trailer for the game, some have found and speculated on the presence of a Halo ring on a view screen in the trailer."

In time, the tru7h will be revealed.

i personally don't think so. just some fancy artwork. although, that picture does look a bit odd. and can they even make a Halo game without a Halo ring? the game is called Halo after all.

An assassin will always carry on, even after death.

It's not one Halo ring, it's five.

  • 06.20.2011 3:35 PM PDT

So what's the general reaction?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Halo Wars? ODST?

why would a halo ring be on the ship?

That's like asking if they can make anything Star Wars related without Luke Skywalker. The answer is clear.

You sir, are an idiot. The Halo Ring is on a computer monitor, most likely showing the video feed of a camera on the ship

If it is a Halo ring, I'm not sure how it would fit into the plot. But there are apparently easter eggs in the trailer, and apart from the new gun, not much has been found. So it's still a possibility...

There was an interview with a 343 guy, I'll try to find it. Can anyone back me up?

I remember either reading an article or watching a video and they stated there are easter eggs in the trailer. I just can't remember where I heard it.

I suspect llamas are secretly wizards. I <3 poptarts n' milk. I like me. Grimick is defined as: a logical parodox, the act of funnaling a potato down your throat, and a deliciously flavored muffin (with pecons and blueberries). Norway is the Swedish word for 'moron'. My sister has cancer, so i get to use handicap parking and cut small children in line at Disneyland.

I doubt it, it doesnt really look like a ring. It doesnt seem to have any foliage.

Halo Wars and ODST.

That is all.

You forgot Halo: Reach

  • 06.20.2011 8:51 PM PDT

Wake me, when you need me.

I'd say no. It doesn't look like a Halo ring at all.

We will know soon enough, but it will require thought. Deep thought. Mendicant Bias must be found. The Mantle will soon follow.

Halo is an expansive, immersive universe. Though major events of the fiction do hinge on the Halo Array, there are plenty of other events to cover. Hell, the Human-Covenant War progressed more than twenty-five years, and the Humans didn't even know about the Halo Array until the final months of said war. Insurmountable quantities of content could be created under the title of the "Halo" universe without even so much as referencing an actual Halo (other than in the title, obviously).

Yep, I can't imagine a game just called "4"!

Bungie Pentathlon - who actually cares ?

Nope, no Halo ring had large block like formations on it...they are smooth.

Why would a viewscreen be there anyway.

A big no, nope, nada, non for me

Actually they can sadly enough. Even if the story arc for this new trilogy doesn't feature a single Halo installation the fact of the matter is that the name "Halo" itself is now the brand identification for the franchise. From a marketing standpoint it's simply not feasible to take out the 'Halo' prefix for anything related to the franchise otherwise mainstream consumers won't be able to identify it easily.

Just look at:

Halo Wars
Halo: Reach
Halo 3: ODST
Halo: Bloodline
Halo: Helljumpers
Halo: Bootcamp
Halo: Covenant
Halo: Uprising
Halo: The Fall of Reach
Halo: The Flood
Halo: First Strike
Halo: Contact Harvest
Halo: Ghost of Onyx
Halo: Cole Protocol
Halo: Cryptum

Halo etc etc

The list just goes on and on. Even if it has jack diddly to do with an actual Halo which is the case for the majority of the comics, novels, spin off games, and what not, 'Halo' is a brand name.

The situation can be likened to how Modern Warfare was to be its own thing, but instead the 'Call of Duty' moniker was slapped onto it anyways for brand recognition sake regardless of developers, story arcs, etc.

So yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Halo 4, 5, and 6 had nothing to do with Halos, or even major characters other than the Chief and Cortana (hell even those two far enough down the line) within them.


On topic I severely doubt that's a Halo ring on the view screen simply because there's nothing around the area that is a Halo or Halo like for that matter. Instead it's just the massive artificial construct the ship is moving towards.
