Well about now everyone knows about the new terminals in anniversary, my question is will anything on halo 4 be hinted upon in the terminals? If so what?

"Oh you -blam!- camping whore!"
"It's a legitimate strategyyyyyyy!"

343i said yes some hints. I have seen terminals 1-7 on YouTube (I cannot wait any longer!) and from what I saw so far I really could not see any hints to Halo 4 YET.

Yea I just finished watching allll ten terminals, useful somewhat, they mention the precursors only once, btw idk what was that ship that crashed and gs couldn't contact it because it was prohibited by protocol.

They pretty much hinted the Didact somehow would return in Halo 4 and be pissed (at least GS thought) and that GS wanted to try and ally with the Covenant against humanity for destroying the rings (obviously GS was rampant by this point and they alluded to the other monitors being rampant as well).

Yeah might that imply that covies were stationed at other halos? He might've alerted the other monitors and in h4 they might show

Besides Covies still working towards the Forerunners' goals (Glasslands also alludes to this), the terminals pretty much allude to US (humans) as the ancient enemies if you carefully listen to the references Spark makes in all terminals. This, along with that leaked cinematic of what we thought is a "human" with super powers in Halo 4 getting a UNSC trooper through a wall that the true enemy in Halo 4 and the Reclaimer Trilogy could in fact be the ancient humans who were outside of the galaxy and survived the first firing of the array as well as the Forerunner's de-evolving humanity. Humanity in the time of the Forerunners actually found a cure and beat the Flood (possible alliance with the Precursors?) and had a vast galactic empire rivaling the Forerunners. This is already a theme seen seeded in Glasslands as the remnants of the Covenant still wish to follow the Forerunners and learn more about them as well as fearing a peace with humanity as humanity, which has been noted in many recent Halo Universe stories, has an endless capacity for conquest, bloodshed, and expanding. Possibly current humans are feared by Covenant, the Didact and returning Forerunners to pick up where ancient humans left off...and of course ancient humans come back to everyone's surprise and become the true enemy of the Reclaimer trilogy along with what is left of the Precursor's (probably that last one on Charum Hakkor still survived somehow after stealing 5 Halos with Mendicant Bias).

Seems very possible because gs also mentioned that the ancient enemy had the power to evolve certain species, maybe just maybe, the precursors evolved humanity as a way to destroy the forerunners but in turn evolved it somewhat but they might've also unleashed the flood which brought a demise to both species. Also the reclaimer trilogy might emphasize the evolved humans/reclaimers and gs just confused us with them since we are both human.

Agreed. One thing I still ponder is what was in that ship that crashed on Halo about 40,000 years before Combat Evolved? Nothing came out of the ship except a gas that was neutralized by the Sentinels of Installation 04 and there was a warning beacon coming out. The letters shown for the warning looked more Covenant than anything but that predated the Covenant by a long time, didn't it? Also, that ship did not look like a Covie ship. Mysterious wasn't it?

Very, I was pondering the idea and so far the only plausible assumption is that it was either an advanced human ship, or of course a precursor ship because why would it be sending out a distress signal if it was alone?
