Subject: Halo 4 Theory

Here is my theory as to what I think Halo 4 and the new trilogy MAY hold. I posted this within another forum but that forum turned into a flame war between the OP and some other guys so I thought I'd post this as a new topic so people who actually want to discuss Halo 4 can.

If you want to know who the Cheif's "allies" are going to be, and exactly what that black sphere is that he's getting sucked into just read Ghosts of Onyx. Frankie has already said they want to tie in the books more into the future trilogy I.E. the basis behind the terminals in the Halo CE Remake.

When Hasley Fred and remaining Spartan's enter the Sphere world, Kurt detonates nukes behind them to kill off any covenant on the ground behind them. Then the remaining sentinels destroy all of the remaining ships in orbit. (making sense why in the halo 4's trailer chief comes out in an orbit of burning ships and ruins.

My point is I believe this is going to be the basis of the 4th game and would open a whole new story(trilogy) and expand the Halo saga. Master Chief finding his 'destiny' as 343 guilty spark talked about(reclaimer). Running into the remaining Forerunners who may be 'trapped' in this world. Yadyadayada Anyways, enough of my rant. This is just some of my 'theory' on Halo 4 and the upcoming trilogy.

Discuss. and please, poke holes in my theory. I like a good debate, it leads to better results. ;)

None of that has any evidence to back it up.

Along with the Fact the spartans get out in Glasslands and Frankie said the planet isn't onxy.

As if hundreds of people haven't pretty much said the exact same thing as you op.

Ok for one, Were has Frankie said it isn't onyx? No that I don't believe you, I would just like the link to that.

Also, Glasslands isn't out yet, so were are you getting this? It just says that Glasslands will connect with Halo 4 in some ways, and that yes they do get out eventually, but it never says how since the book is still months away from being released. If it's going to connect with Halo 4, then the shield world from Onyx and the characters from that story will connect with Halo 4.

You could be smart OP and actually listen to that link.

"Were it so easy..."

The only burning ship in the Trailer is the Chief's.


Onyx was completely destroyed by the Sentinels at the end of the book. However it does not necessarily mean that the Shield Worlds aren't linked together by the the slipspace field.

"When I joined the corps we didn't have any fancy shmancy tanks! We had sticks! Two sticks and a rock for the whole platoon! And we had to SHARE the rock!"

I agree totally with what RavUKsoldier is saying as i have recently read ghosts of onyx (twice over) and found the Halo 4 trailer picking off perfectly where Ghosts left off, I for one hope that this is the case and hopefully understand the "No purple" refrence made but i have no evidence to back this up.

I just hope 343 know what theyre doing and i believe this has the makings of The BEST halo game to date. Kelly, Halsley, Mendez, and the rest of the spartans are such rich characters and i really really Really hope theyre in the new halo :D thanks for posting man

The structure in the Halo 4 trailer is much too big to be Onyx.

Well the structure in the halo 4 trailer is huge but onyx was in theory a large sentinel and they reshape and configure repeatedly so it could just be it from an angle

Onyx is no more than a few meters in length now. And who said the remaining Sentinels would be enough to re-create an entire planet?

um there are other astronomical reasons it isn't onyx, and frankie already said no

  • 08.08.2011 10:55 AM PDT

Guys, I no way am I trying to be argumentitive with you about any of this. This was just my theory, and I honestly didn't realize there was already a thread on this theory exactly that is quite long already. I didn't mean to make a whole-nother thread or start an argument on here. This was just MY opinion that I developed from reading and playing the games. I didn't mean to 'stir the pot' so to speak.

And no I haven't listened to it since I am currently at work, but I will later. I believe you, I just wanted a link that I could read.

We did exactly as you said and poked holes in your thoery. Wasn't hard since it was a crap theory to begin with.

  • 08.08.2011 11:19 AM PDT

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

Frankie denies that the Legendary Planet is Onyx (07:50 - 08:25).

Besides, Onyx (the planet itself) was destroyed. All that's left is the Micro Dyson Sphere, roughly 3 meters in diameter in normal space.

  • 08.08.2011 11:36 AM PDT

First off, I'd like to know your theory. Secondly, I'm gonna laugh my ass off if my right. You guys take this so seriously it's laughable. I'm just having fun with using my 'imagination' ever heard of it? I don't see you coming up with anything. I'm gonna leave you and grey to your little pissing match now since you both seem to be on the rag today and can't lighten up and have fun.

And fine, it's not onyx, but chill out

high ego much?


We aren't "mad" i am on auto pilot right now since this has been asked hundreds of times to the point i can just zombie type a response. and this isn't "fun" or imaginative.

You asked for a debate and for us to poke hole in your theory, however when we did so you get overly defensive, why?

The Forerunner, the Great Journey, and Heaven Theory

[Announcement Trailer] Halo: Forerunner

Posted by: Agustus
I lol'd at the absurd miscommunication that occurs whenever dibbs post something. Perhaps his brain is so highly evolved that he can no longer clearly communicate with lesser life forms, even among his own species.

How is this a theory?

Most of your post is just a restatement of of what's happened in the story so far. The only supposition you make (and I'm not including "Master Chief finds his destiny" because that is so vague it's essentially meaningless) is Running into the remaining Forerunners who may be 'trapped' in this world. Forerunners may be trapped on a Forerunner structure...that's moved our level of understanding exactly no where. Again, how is this a theory?

You can use your "imagination" all you like, it doesn't change facts.

We're not speculating on what it is because there is absolutely NO data to suggest exactly what it is. All we know is that it's a Forerunner planet Mendicant Bias sent John to, we know nothing else.

"There is no time for peace. No respite. No forgiveness. There is only WAR!"

it cant be onyx. ONYX was planet used as a secret UNSC training facility, which also happened to be a sentinel factory/ forerunner production facility.

IN the heart of ONYX was a portal to an UNKNOWN Dyson sphere world. Similar in construction to the one found in Halo wars [forgot name]. OYNX was then destroyed as the machines holding the planets surface together, died or moved away as the portal to the Dyson sphere collapsed.
the planet int the video is not oynx, but very well could be outside of the Dyson sphere

if i remember it all correctly.

Doctor Halsey states that whilst the interior of the MDS has a surface area many times the size of Earth, externally in normal space the sphere is just a few meters in diameter.

Unless the Dawn managed to shrink itself and John, I'm pretty sure the Legendary Planet is larger than a "few meters in diameter".
