Subject: Halo 4 "will not feature purple"

Anyone got a link to the interview where Frankie says this? People have said this before yet nobody's ever posted the link.

thanks.

Yes, does anybody have a link to that, I'd very much like to know the context of that line.

There's no link. It was said during the live broadcast on Spike TV (so best bet is youtube for evidence). In any case the full context that people seem to be leaving out was that they were referring to how the trailer lacks purple. Not the game as a whole.

That's the thing though. The reason why they were pointing out no purple in the discussion I saw was because E3 had yet to begin. During the pre-show interview one of the things stated about the trailer was something along the lines of 'you'll notice there's no purple whatsoever in the trailer'. I don't recall any post trailer reveal interviews about a lack of purple in Halo 4 as a whole.

I cant say anything as I'm yet to see it, but I was hoping it was a misunderstanding, should this be true. The sound of a Halo game without any of the Covenant races--good or bad--leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I guess we'll see in August.

^This.

And besides that it wouldn't make sense for any Covies to be so far out of known space.
Only way they can possibly incorporate Arby (for instance) and his Elites into the story is if the UNSC-Separatists Alliance somehow finds out where Chief is and start an evac mission.
But since this is a new trilogy I can only see something like that happening later on in this new story (if it happens at all).

So far I would say we're going to face something other than the Covies, and I don't really care about that at the moment.

Seems we're both right. That editor of Kotaku mentions that the design mantra of Halo 4 that he's heard from a few years back is to include zero purple, and as a result of that he's keeping a keen eye out for no purple in the trailer itself.

Technically "The Covenant" doesn't exist anymore anyway,just the species.

I can't see Grunt and Drones making an appearance.

I hope we see a seperate campaign playing the Arbiter cause i doubt Master Chief will link up with the rest till the end or in the two next games.

I'll try to find it then when I have the time...I'm sure the people using it to back up their claims of "no Covies" in the new trilogy are probably misinterpreting the line and taking it out of context >_>

To not include the various species of the Covenant would be a rather stupid move if you ask me, especially excluding the Elites, there are many fans who don't read the books, and wondering what the state of things are amongst the Elites and what sort of state their relationship with Humanity is in. I know many people have been wondering this, and as I said not all read the books yet still ask these questions, to leave such matters solely up to the books would be a grave mistake.

And regardless of Halo 4 starting a new trilogy, the affects the Covenant and their genocidal war with Humanity has had have left a deep impact on the present timeline of Halo. They're still key players in the sense that their deeds live on and the consequences of the war would have had some sort of impact on the new trilogy.

Coma there is already a link.

>*Sigh* halo evolutions page 506-507

"....But it was not long before the primitive nature of the brutes pulled their fighting cohesion apart and split their new power among several internecine struggles. The prophets had largely disappeared..... some elite commanders continued to fight the many scattered remnants of the former covenant wherever they could be found,but not all.

After six long years of this scattered war, elite power had begun to wane right along with their drive to fight.... but since the prophets controlled all of the major learnings that transformed forerunner gifts, the elites now largely lacked the understanding to build new facilities and weapons themselves. they steadily lost ships that they could not easily repair, let alone replace them. their time seemed to be running out. Page 517

... The covenant threat is lifted for the moment....but i doubt the agreement with the elites with the other covenant species."

There are no "covenant loyalist" there is no covenant. the elites not even at whole some of them are hunting down the reminds due to their honor being tarnished. The elites are running out of ships and are far too busy to have anything to do with halo 4.

Seeing as that Planet, Giant robot planet, giant forerunner ship, Whatever it is, we know it's forerunner and the general colour is grey... Oh goodie!, it'll be like a trip to Germany with the colour generally being grey :(

Yes, but the covenant won't be in this, seeing as the master cheif obliterated their force. the main colour will probably be grey seeing as it is on a forerunner planet

Hmm :/ Not entirely sure whether I'd trust an out of company source on something like that just yet...is there any official source from anyone within 343i or Microsoft making any sort of comment about "no purple"?

Nope. That's the only source of the "no purple" statement that's been passed around since E3. To my knowledge I have never heard Frankie or any other 343i employee say anything of the sort.

Haha XD

I think I saw you arguing with Grey (Deva Path over on Waypoint) about this over on the Waypoint forums, you have a very similar user name to the one over there at least. But yeah, I really don't think that they're going to exclude the Covenant species, I don't know whether or not they'd play a part in Halo 4 or not or how large a part it would be if they did show up, but I really don't think that 343i is going to completely exclude them from the new trilogy.
