Show Faith/Defy Fate

Did they say that the cover for Primordium was lifted straight from Halo 4 or is it a scene that is described in Primordium that will be heavily referenced in Halo 4?

Which makes me ask, is 343 too lazy to make custom art for the Forerunner trilogy?

Logic is the art of going wrong with confidence.

Maybe... I hope not though.

Perhaps its just something that they justified as something they wouldn't use for H4, or perhaps they were doing concept art for both at the same time. And the far fetched answer, maybe Greg Bear liked it.

Thats just my guess with Cryptum coming out before the concept art trailer.

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

I don't see how it can be concept art for Halo 4, the cover of Primordium has a Halo in the background.

Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.

The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

Well, although 343i said something on the lines of "..don't get too attached to it, it's just concept arts..", I have a theory that might answer why the Premodium cover ended up in the H4 concept arts video, but it's not based on much..

Anyway, I believe that they might be trying to bridge the gap between the primitive human beings, those who were blessed with the Librerians geas, and Chief. It's all the talk about luck that has me thinking of this, and what cortana found out on Reach.

I know not all see Reach as canon; there being two versions of Cortana and whatever, but it's probable that it's the road they're taking, that Cortana chose John cause of what she learned in the Reach installation..
The new terminals in Anniversary, strenghten it a bit too; how they're trying to overly clarify that 343GS somehow believes that he's met Chief before.

What I'm trying to say is that MC, and his whole destiny thing might be directly connected to whatever happenes/happened on the Ark, with Didact/Born Stellar.

As I said, I'm basing it pretty much on just a hunch...

EDIT: There might be a more or less direct connection between Chakas and the Chief.

EDIT nr2: ugh, it seems that I've mixed up Riser with Chakas...

EDIT nr3: Never mind my theory of why Cortana chose John, cause now when I think of it, she did that long before Reach..

Its the other way around, these are concept art pieces for Halo 4 used as cover art for the books.

Which is why I asked if 343 is too lazy to make their own art for the Forerunner trilogy, not recycle Halo 4 concept art.

Does it really matter? It's art, it's Halo and it looks good, as long as this criteria is met then I couldn't give a flying toss.

Well maybe you don't really care, I mean it's great art and what not, but I would at least think 343 could whip something different up.

Maybe it's because the connection between the Forerunner and Reclaimer trilogy are massive as hell.

I suppose, but I would much prefer the Forerunner trilogy to have their own covers. It's just a principle of mine.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Either way, I don't think it really matters. It looks good, I'm not going to worry about where it's from.
