"Even in death, your Sergeant guides us home."

Do not panic, or you will fail.

OMG, I have that one! It is a Locust and it also comes with a Gauss Hog.

From what I remember, Frankie said the Sof wouldn't be in Halo 4, but he said nothing about the other two.

Frankie said that the SoF hasn't been touched and he would love to explain that later down the road.

"Were it so easy..."

I sure hope 343 decides to include some of the Halo Wars vehicles in the new trilogy. The Locust would be awesome, and it's equivalent could be the Wolverine (Shots from the Wolverine should work more like Mortars that have Anti-aircraft lock-on)

  • 08.08.2011 11:11 AM PDT

Im txgrim4 (Grim, Grimmy, Grimsta), i have been playing xboxlive for 9 years, evr since day 1 of Halo:CE til now. I love H2, that and Halo 1 are my favs. Im a Halologist when it comes to the Bungie/Halo Universe. Ive also played Marathon Series, ONI, and Myth Series. I live in Texas, Play Football, and cant wait for Halo 4!

Sorry to burst your bubble man, but for the last time, There is NO Covenant or UNSC in Halo 4

No Covenant or UNSC in Halo 4 CAMPAIGN.

Multiplayer's still a free-fire zone.


No UNSC is still unconfirmed. But no Covenant literally just means the faction. The different species' and some of their now ancient technology will probably still exist by the events of Halo 4.

Nope, not at all man. Its gonna be forerunner type stuff i bealive. Not sure of enemy but definatly forerunner tech as a minor enemy

Multiplayer is a completely separate experience from Campaign, and 343 would be foolish not to continue to include fan-favorite weapons, vehicles, and gameplay in Halo 4's MP.

And I've been paying attention to everything mentioned about Halo 4. Literally NO confirmation on no UNSC, and no conformation that the former Covie species won't be in it either. All we have to go on that's important is that:

- MC is floating towards a Forerunner structure.
- No "Purple" (referring to the Covenant as a faction most likely)
- MC has been sleeping for an undisclosed, but very important amount of time.

No, bealive me man, There is NO Covenant obviously said by Frankie "No Purple". And NO UNSC, Just read Grey101's Post about NO Covie and UNSC in Halo 4

And if you kept up to date about most Halo 4 info,You would've known that 343i is making a new type game. Its ahrd to explain, here.

343 said its somewhat a familiar experience of playing i bealive

And that what you see will be completley new, "An Ancient enemy" is used in H4 trailer description.

So since its new, they aren't gonna bring back Covenant or UNSC to be allies with or fight, Its a whole new enemy and ally you will soon learn about.

'No purple', as in no Covenant as a faction; as the guy already said. Can we just wait and see, and stop trying to drill things into people's heads as though they are fact.

The only way the Covenant (or any of the client races, or any of the races from the original trilogy) can be in Halo 4 is if the perspective changes between John and another character in the Orion Arm. Otherwise there is no way any Covenant can appear.

When Frankie said no Purple, he was not discluding that characters of species that previously appeared as part of the Covenant were going to be in the game/series, whether as allies, enemies, or a completely neutral faction. All that actually means is that the Covenant doesn't exist.

343 is still creating a Shooter that takes place in the Halo universe. Regardless of what new features have been "Speculated" on, NO reveal of what the gameplay will play like outside of being a Halo shooter has ever been made.

What they said about the enemy, is that it is something new, ancient, and familiar now while that certainly can refer to a large number of things in the Halo universe, we can only imagine this enemy takes as much precedence as the Flood. All that means to me is that it's not the ONLY enemy, but the most threatening one. Like I said, the species' can easily return as minor enemies, allies, and neutral factions.

And a new enemy does not even remotely suggest new allies. Though it looks likely by Master Chief's new armor that one of two things is true: Either UNSC technology has advanced greatly since MC entered Cryo, or your new suit is based on Forerunner tech.

Those 2 facts suggest that his suit could be made by Humans, Former Covenant Species', Sentinels, or (hold my breath it WONT happen) Forerunner survivors.


Therefore in the end, no facts about "Who, What, How" outside of "Master Chief, Cortana, Forerunner Planet-Thing" are true and everything is speculation based on vague hints.

Look all im saying is you never know, Its pretty much true, NO Covenant, we can close that book.

No UNSC, Mabey, mabey not, but yes, there will be multiple enemies

-The Flood (Possible*)
-The Last Precursor (Yes)
-Forerunner/Forerunner Technology, such as newer sentinals, AIs, etc... (Obviously, its a forerunner planet)

  • 08.08.2011 11:44 AM PDT

"Were it so easy..."

I wouldn't confirm the last Precursor yet. There is still one more book in the Forerunner Saga that could lead to a resolution with him. But he is still a possibility, yes.

Of course there can be a way. I've already offered a plausible way in which Elites (not the 'Covenant') could find themselves embroiled in the events of the trilogy. If you watch the motion comic, The Return, it's clear that there is a possibility.

UNSC, I'm not so sure about, but I'm not going to try and pound my beliefs into someone as if I have definite proof concerning the matter. A lot can happen during the trilogy, and events covered between the games, so people need to understand that it's all opinion at this stage.

That, and you can't assume that Master Chief will spend the whole game on this structure. In Halo 2 and 3 you traveled all over the place.

Er... how does The Return even hint that Elites will be in Halo 4?

The Shipmaster sees a human camp with only one alive, he sees images of humans uncovering various Forerunner artefacts on the floor and takes the human back to his ship where he is going to "interrogate" him.

Okay, so how will this Shipmaster suddenly know to go beyond the Orion Arm to the Legendary Planet, meet up with the Chief and have a happy tea party with the Forerunners? Ah yes, he can't.

If anything, The Return leads into Glasslands.

UNSC, I'm not so sure about, but I'm not going to try and pound my beliefs into someone as if I have definite proof concerning the matter. A lot can happen during the trilogy, and events covered between the games, so people need to understand that it's all opinion at this stage.

UNSC cannot turn up either. They can only appear if John gets back to UNSC controlled space by the end of Halo 4, otherwise they can have nothing to do with the story.
