Holy Hell! DIdnt you read my previous posts? I have studied the the lore, something big IS going to happen. I am just stating that they should do something to the game to change up the pace, Halo CE was a great shooter when it first came out, Halo 2 simply added dual-wielding but they did change up the story by playing as the Arbiter, Halo 3 didnt do anything revolutionary, ODST was the most expansive by adding a new health system, playing as a slighly weakend character,new weapons, new angle of story telling. Reach didnt do anything, except drive the The Fall of Reach narrative, which had a better story, to the ground. But people saying stuff like "But Medicand Bias has plans for the Chief and stuff" rubs me the wong way because you actually expect me to believe an AI construct purposefully allowed the [i] Forward unto Dawn [i] to be split during the jump so he could cut Cheif off of any contact or help just because of a "greater purpose"? Thats sound a bit too crazy. They just need to attack another angle. And I swear if they bring back the Flood, or make a Super Flood, it will ruin all the sacrifice and death of the first three Halos.


The Flood shall return,there is no single doubt.The sacrifises of the trilogy?Well don't forget that the flood were once defeated by the Humans but they returned,then the 4runners wiped them out with the rings,but they survived again.

They will appear in Halo 4,i would bet my money on it.

How does it sounds crazy?Read the last terminal,Mendicant Bias confirms it.I hope you aren't thinking we are pulling that out of our ass.

Halo 4 story will be new

With all respect to 343i Seeing Halo 4 is like watching Universal/Naughty Dog giving Crash Bandicoot rights to Vicarious vision to milk the franchise or Eidos/Core Design making the same with Crystal Dinamics with Tomb Raider, Sonic Team/Sega ruining Sonic with too much games from devellopers who don't understand the concept and trying to add more and more differents stuff (Dimps etc.).
Now we can put Halo in this case,it won't be the first and won't be the last...


*sigh* You just don't get it, Tomb Raider and Sonic are the only game series you listed that I really know anything about, and Halo is not at all like them as a series, each of the games in those series is stand-alone there is no overarching mythos to them whatsoever. Halo is far more akin to something like Star Wars, both have essentially one long overarching story with the different games/books/comics/movies/animated shorts all filling in gaps and adding to one cohesive whole.

Producing a Halo 4 is not milking the series at all, in fact Halo 4 was even promised to us a couple years ago, we didn't know when it would be made, but it was already promised to us. And there are many more mysteries in Halo's universe that have been introduced recently, and all of them are plot devices that obviously tie into Halo 4.

I agree with you in the sense that the series should've stoped at the end of Halo 3. I mean, how can could you beat that last level?

But the problem was that Master and Cortana are still in space, and everybody thinks they're dead.

It's sad to see that the trailer didn't get as much of a reaction as the Halo 3 trailer back in 2006.


Because we all know it is going to suck. Now that Bungie has left, the age of Halo is circling in the drain, and everybody knows it.


Idiot , 343 is past bungie employees that went to 343 to stay making halo its the one who didn't want to leave [some not all off them are]

Mark my words...

1. USNC forces are going to be all spread out, unorganized, and fighting each other.
2. This whole thing is taking place on a Forerunner planet.
3. There's going to be a whole new enemy.
4. This Forerunner planet is going to be just epic. And I mean eeeeeeepic.


Quote and hate me if you will.. but in a year or whatever when the game comes out... everyone will be like "omg Eniqizinq was totes rite I owe him a cookie!!!!1!! (::)"

And I'm so sure that I'm 90% rite that I have a $50 bet with one of my pals..


Everything you just said you stole from that one thread that was confirmed fake. Stupid.


I have other sources. And there's no need to throw insults, that's a bit childish..

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 don't know them then :/ At least not by those names, what did they do at Bungie?

  • 06.26.2011 4:59 PM PDT

@People saying Halo will now never end

Wasn't it Bonnie Ross (head of 343i) who indirectly said 343i has the entire story lined up from when they took over to the end? That the first thing they did upon forming 343i was to create a timeline that detailed the rest of the story to the very end?

I believe it was in the Halo CEA exclusive interview on Waypoint

"What was the first story we wanted to tell, what was the last story we wanted to tell..."

  • 06.26.2011 5:15 PM PDT

You know you play Halo too much when you hock a lugie in you girlfriends face and scream "BOOM HEADSHOT!" ;)

Maybe just like in the end of Halo CE:
And I quote

Cortana:Halo... It's finished.
Chief:No, I think we're just getting started.


Soo, yeah, IN YOUR FACE! Lol

Halo 4 story will be new


Or consider this:

What if the sacrifices in the original trilogy were not in vain? What if their sacrifices were to serve a greater purpose? Medicant Bias, and the thread entitled "Synchrons, 117 and the fate of reality" enforces the possibility, that the fate of the human race, the Covenant races and even the entire universe is coming to a close.

What if, the sacrifices in the trilogy, all of the trillions who died, did so so the final events, this last sequel trilogy, could happen?

"There are points in life where everything changes, and changes in a big way. The old sophistic texts refer to these points as synchrons. Synchrons supposedly tie great personalities and forces together. You can't predict or avoid them. Only rarely can you feel them. They are like knots creeping toward your string of time. Ultimately, they tie you to the great currents of the universe-bind you a common fate " - Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting

When dealing with such a fragile thing as time, as fate, as Born here says, the death of an insect in one country could, somewhere down the road, lead to drastic events.

The deaths of trillions of people, of personalities, in a single war....

Why would Greg Bear introduce these "Synchrons" and then never again speak of them in the book? We know 343i had worked closely with the author. Whose to say they didn't ask him to insert some tid-bits here and there that related to Halo 4?

Something that you learn while learning about Halo is that all concepts, all ideas introduced, no matter how brief, need to be looked at more closely. Synchrons were introduced for a reason.

As was the concept that "the universe lives, but not as we do."

So yes, Medicant Bias split the ship in half, and yes he did it to serve a higher purpose. But the sacrifices in the H/C war were not in vain.

The H/C war was just the beginning.

Like Augustus once said: Cortana said, "This, is the way the world ends."

But the world's end didn't happen in Halo 3. What if Halo 3 wasn't the end?

What if it was just the beginning of the end?

Actually...
No.

A lot of people have faith in Frankie and the team at 343i.

I don't give a rat's ass what other people have faith in. Based on my experience with the Halo series, it is going to suck. When it comes out, you will find I called it.

The Covenant was defeated in 2559, 6 years after Halo 3.
The Flood is still out there and will strike again.
The Brutes are still fighting against the Sangheili
The Precursors (the makers of the Flood might be the ancient evil thet MC must face)
The fight is not over yet.


Wait... the precursors are the makers of the Flood? Where did you get that idea? is that canon? Because I've never heard it

The ships the flood came on are a completely different design than precursor ships.

precursors didn't make them.

Maybe cuz it really wasn't very interesting and it already hacked up the story pretty bad. We learned that chief now looks like he's wearing home-made armor, Cortana somehow avoided rampancy even though she was reaching the 7 year mark before they were lost in space, and that jetpacks are included in every cryo-tube. Yeah right... they are already ruining it for me.

  • 06.29.2011 7:28 AM PDT

The armor did look off, but then again the entire cutscene just felt off. I think it was just overdone.
Cortana could have already past her rampancy phase during the time with gravemind and has become metastable. [or something like that]
And the jetpack is not a jetpack, its integrated thrusters for operation in zero g environments. They are standard on all spartan armor systems.

  • 06.29.2011 7:57 AM PDT

The Covenant have about 7 Prophets and 3 of them died and the Flood sure as hell won't like that since not even the Halo rings going of couldn't kill them and there's still like 4,5,6,or 7 Halo rings left andonly like 1 or 2 got blown up.

  • 06.29.2011 8:01 AM PDT

Why are MC and Cortana still out in space if the Arbiter survived?

The halo series contains much biblical allegory.
ie: the ark of the covenant; John 1:17
then odst was based on dante's inferno
ie: 9 circles of hell; virgil
if you want to know who the next enemy might be you could try to find something in the bible or an epic poem and find another possible enemy.

And also remember that there still could be rebels
