Subject: I have a feeling the Spirit of Fire will play a big role in Halo 4...

Now we all know that the Spirit of Fire was left heading for UNSC controlled space at the end of Halo Wars. We also know that their trans-light engines could no longer be used since, well, they didn't have one. We never know exactly what happens to Captain Cutter, Professor Anders, or Red Team. We just know that they're flying as fast as they can to any UNSC-controlled space.

Now why would 343i leave such a cliffhanger to the whereabouts of the SoF? Because they will show up someplace, somewhere in Halo 4. I think they'll either rendezvous with the Chief or provide support from space. Either way, I think we'll be seeing a lot of Cutters and his crew when the game comes around.

Frankie months and months ago that the Sof and halowars plot hasn't been touched yet whatsoever.

Not sure if they will do that.

Also, it's been rumoured by some (including me) that SoF actually did make it back before the Trilogy takes place. ONI seems to know more about the Flood than they should, and already have fully developed plans to use them as bioweapons just around the time Chief and Cortana make it back to Earth/UNSC controlled space.
In other words: ONI seems to have had a plan to use Flood ready when the Flood was found (again)...and as soon as Chief gets back they're over at the debris field at Halo performing tests with Flood samples.

Now: how on Earth could they have developed such plans, knowledge and the needed technology in mere days, hours even? SoF making it back, ONI having placed it in quarantine and made it "dissapear" and analysing SoF's data on the Flood might be the reason...

Although there is no real proof for that theory other than what I said above: the time between the Halo Event, Chief getting back to Earth and the Mona Lisa incident is/seems way too short for ONI to have come up with the plans/technology.

So in my theory SoF already made it back, but maybe 343i has other plans with it. Who knows.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

As much as I'd love for that to happen...it's not going to. In one of the press conferences Frankie said that story isn't being touched upon yet BUT...they'll eventually get to it sometime in the future.

This is accurate, shame though would have been interesting to see Cortana and Serena getting along.

Oh, really? Hadn't heard about that. It would make for a nice story though, and also explain how the Chief was supplied with new equipment and vehicles.

Hopefully 343i was lying to keep the story a complete secret, but I doubt it. It would've been sick if Master Chief took command of Red Team and you played as a squad like in Halo: Reach.

Frankie hates rumors and he is very easy to read if he is lying (which he wasn't).

Serena would probably be "dead" since Halo Wars was 20 years before the Halo event. But, even so, I don't think they'd get along well. :P Serena seemed like a b!tch. Anders certainly didn't like Serena.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

It would certainly be one way to justify a UNSC presence in Halo 4, but like everyone else is already saying, Frankie shot down that idea pretty quick.
