Yes, but such a breakthrough isn't going to happen in a span of three years after Halo 3.

Maybe some Marines have gotten trapped on the planet years before, Probably when you crash land the marines send you through some diognostics.. And then clone the Master Chief, so there'll be Cooperative gameplay. But then they can't clone him more than once because they don't have enough power.. Or it might kill the MC.

So some Marines for some reason just coincidentally end up on the sphere because they "dun goofed"?

It took years to fully understand the artifact under the Babd Catha iceshelf on Reach, but now all of the sudden some tinkering is going to unlock a portal that, coincidentally, empties a UNSC group right at Chief's location?

About Truth, he had a Keyship, pretty sure that's a significant feature. Honestly, every UNSC-involved theory relies heavily on coincidences and if that is what Halo turns into, coincidence, I'm done.

Doesn't say that the UNSC are in it at all. The warthogs could be from the half that never made it back to earth. Like the one you jump in for the H3 warthog run.


But Having the UNSC in it would be nice in some way.

My guess is the Spirit of Fire. Huge amount of UNSC forces and tech floating around at some unknown point in space, could easily wind up at The Planet. My guess is that Mendicant Bias (or the Prisoner or whoever's in charge) directed it there.

By 'UNSC', they mean a proper UNSC presence. You know, lots of Marines, Warthogs, Scorpions, a few Frigates... not just two random characters who were part of the UNSC. Hope I explained it well enough. You're either being overly pedantic or not getting what they're talking about.

Well, there could be. Remember, it's a game story, not real life. Ridiculously improbable events will happen if they advance the plotline or are necessary for gameplay.

If the UNSC is there, though, I sure hope their presence is properly explained. Not just "oh, you were asleep for ages, we found this place and maintained a large military presence for the lulz".

It ain't exactly "For the lulz" if they managed to grab a defended foothold on a forerunner planet.

  • 08.27.2011 9:02 AM PDT

ok, for one...


I don't get what's the huge issue if UNSC and Covenant forces are in Halo 4. SURE, i get it, we been fighting Cove's for ten years, but if Covenant and UNSC forces are NOT seen in Halo 4, i'm Sorry, but Halo 4 will, in fact, suck.

This is from a game developer's point of view. IF there were no COVENANT or UNSC, then there cannot be any weapons from the said factions. IF there are no UNSC or Covedant weapons, it WILL NOT be Halo, Just another game that LOOKS like halo.

If you guys really hate the idea that UNSC or Covedant forces are in Halo 4 SO MUCH, don't buy it AT ALL, because any changes they do from that point on will be "lame" and you'll hate it anyway. it'll just be a developer's FAN-FICTION with Master Cheif, not a GOOD continuation of the story i GREW up with.

IF no old factions are around, then EVERYTHING in the first trilogy was for ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.So please people, grow up.

And so some of the separate Covenant species will magically find the sphere?

  • 08.27.2011 11:23 AM PDT

Well, UNSC shouldn't be there for reasons listed. It's still very shortly after the end of the war. I don't seem them sending out expiditions that far. Maybe to inner colonies to see if anybody survived, and rebuilding the Sol system, but not all the way to the legendary planet.

Covenant races... I don't see why any of them would show up at all. Brutes are infighting and fighting the elites. Prophets are no doubt hiding among the brute population or on a very secluded planet due to how few are left. Jackals would go back to being space faring pirates and merchants(i think about the merchants), grunts would return home or fight along with elites and brutes.

Hunters and drones would go home and not care.

So there isn't really any motive for any of those races to be at the legendary planet...

So by that logic every new trilogy that is suppose to be separate in its own story "must" have everything else from the old story? I really wish you people would take that kind of stuff into context.

And the first trilogy did it's job. Introduced us to halo,introduced us to the flood, Truths were known, the covenant was stopped.

I don't see how this trilogy violates any of that nor do i see how anything other than the first two would be relevant in this new trilogy.


It's like pokemon The original pokemon were not in the next versions yet the games did pretty damn good with the exact "plot". And you could compare it to naruto also with Part I merely setting up the events of Part II.

So the whole bias idea of "elites must be in or else" makes no sense whatsoever.

That makes sense because, you know, Covie weapons are pretty much ported Forerunner weapons. And Forerunner weapons that act like Covenant weapons would be far too much of a stretch. Right?
