The UNSC will likely be in Halo 4. There were concepts of destroyed ships and pelicans. They're in. I think Karens Trilogy will dive into why they arrived at the LP. They said it leads into Halo 4.
I disagree if Halo 4 is set in early 2560s. NOTICE: a key word of 2560s.
That's too early for UNSC to be suddenly recovered and capable to send navy ships. Oh no, you have not read several books or even went on Halopedian on Human-Covenant War. It lasted twenty-seven years of war and it has taken toll to UNSC and Covenant considerably. That losses made by the UNSC is too great for UNSC to recover quickly...
However, if it is set post 2610s, then it would be acceptable. Besides that warthog model is confirmed in Halo 4 but it doesn't prove that UNSC is in Halo 4. Warthog is getting a simple graphical update, that's all.
Besides, some concept art may get cut in the game since they can't fit everything in a game. They has to make some sacrifices. What role does the year play into weather or not the UNSC is at the LP? Tell me that. All I said is that there are concepts of UNSC ships and pelicans and that Karens novel plays into Halo 4. I also know that concepts aren't final. Yeah that scene might not be in it and such. However you don't show concepts of UNSC in Halo 4 if they're not in Halo 4. That's like making a game during the Forerunner-Flood war and showing concepts of Assault Carriers after what? 2 years of developement?
Example: Halo 2.
They cut of contents such as Forerunner tank as it was shown in concept art.
Also timeline is KEY of determining UNSC's capabilites. If it's set in 2554 or 2555, they haven't fully recovered then. If it's more like 2580 to 2600s, sure, they have recovered.
Besides, it sounds like you can't live without UNSC or Covenant at Halo 4. ;/
Didn't we not know about any of that though until a while after Halo 2 came out though? To my understanding of how the process with concept art works is it generally isn't revealed beforehand unless it's absolutely certain that the idea will be used in some form or another. And from everything 343i had shown, said, or avoided saying, I think it's pretty obvious that characters and factions from the Trilogy will be making a tangible return in the Reclaimer Trilogy. Hell, even the very name of the new trilogy would indicate to anyone with even a most basic knowledge of Halo's human history that Humanity will be playing a major role in the new trilogy.
What timeline? There is no timeline for any events as of yet. If you're referring to the Encyclopedia, I wouldn't put too much stock in something that people have pointed out is only inferred and you have to make educated guesses to come up with some of those dates. I haven't read the Encyclopedia so I can't say this with any degree of certainty, but is it not more a general collection of all information on Halo, not all of which is necessarily canon? What I mean by not necessarily canon is that it keeps things as a record whether they're official canon or not, like some of the marketing materials for instance? Anyways I wouldn't put so much stock in information based from marketing materials we know aren't really entirely accurate like Believe.
