The Ban Hammer is all that was and all that will be! The Ban Hammer is time and space, life and death! The Ban Hammer can see into your mind! The Ban Hammer can see into your soouull....

So...I think I know what Halo 4 will be about.

You see, in the announcements it said that John would be fighting an ancient evil. Well besides the Flood, there are only two other evils the humans despise. Forerunners, and Precursors. Precursors came before forerunners, and forerunners destroyed the human race way back thousands of years before the first halo activation.

actually, when the humans went to war against the forerunners, they were already fighting the Flood and were winning. They made theirselves immune to the flood, but it killed like 2/3rds their population to be inoculated. Anyways, the humans couldn't beat the forerunners and were practically enslaved and de-evolved to less intelligent states.

So humans hate forerunners. But legend says all the forerunners died out on their own. But there was one last being still alive, millennium's old.

The last Precursor.

So evil it convinced Medicant Bias (A.I.) to fired 5 of the 12 halo's at the forerunner homeworld and destroy like 80% for the forerunners and their fleets.

I bet Halo 4 will be John fighting the last Precursor and Medicant Bias. A fight 200,000 years in the making.

While I agree that the last precursor could be the main antagonist of the new trilogy Medicant Bias should not be up there. The last terminal in Halo 3 I believe said he realized he was wrong in betraying the forerunners and to redeem himself he led chief safely off the ark. What events he interfered in is unknown however.

This is true, but you also have to know that Mendicant Bias personality was split into fragments by Offensive Bias and spread amongst the forerunner ships to be transported to the Ark for study. Most of these fragments are still lost. I believe one fragment will be the EVIL and HATRED part John will come up against. And the Precursor will use it, manipulate it to destroy all things forerunner and reclaimer alike.

kinda like a mini-boss like GS343 was to the Flood and Covenant.

Perception is everything.

Where are you getting this info? Didn't that Halo: Legends episode explain that The Forerunners created humans in an attempt to preserve life after activating the halos to kill the flood?

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

Forerunners didn't create humans, they preserved them. That's why it's called an ARK. To save as much life as possible in the universe before wiping it clean with the Halo's. The thing is, the forerunners at the end just made humans their successors, by embedding memories in their genetic codes. They felt humanity was the best race to be their descendants. But yeah, forerunners, flood the covenant races and humanity have fought each other once before. Read Halo:Cryptum to get a refresh on it all, and learn more of the forerunners race.
