The Trailer


0:07 - 0:13 - The Forerunner Shield World
Many have speculated that this is Onyx or Reach. But 343 stated that this is Sigma 7, a location brand new to the series.

0:14 - 0:33 - The Chief's arrival + Exploration of Sigma 7.
Not much is going on during this part.

0:34 - 0:38 - Reveals the Forerunner structures that dangle from Sigma 7's shell. In case you don't know what a Shield World is, it's an artificial planet the Forerunners created to shield themselves from the blast of the Halo rings. How so? What you see in the trailer is inside Sigma 7. Which explains the Portal that the Chief entered on S7's exterior.

0:39 - 0:44 - The possible exit of the portal. How so? There seems to be much activity going on in the center of what we see in this shot. You see two creatures(That look like Sentinels) fly toward this area, so something's gotta be going on. Possibly the Chief's arrival?

0:45 - 1:00 - Just Forerunner outposts and other structures being shown. Nothing major.

1:01 - 1:07 - The most important part of the trailer. What you're probably looking at here are UNSC drop pods and two pelicans on the right of them as they enter the same portal MC entered. Chief most likely set off some kind of beacon in the interior of the planet that caught the UNSC's attention. So they send teams via drop pods and peicans into the world to aid the Chief.

1:08 - 1:12 - Obviously a huge battle between the unknown enemy and UNSC. But the thing about this scene is that there seems to be a Halo ring in the background. Looks like we're getting multiple settings.

1:13 - 1:21 - The UNSC ship that we saw dropping the drop pods and pelicans into Sigma 7 is destroyed. This ship is possibly The UNSC Infinity.

1:30 and on - The enemy.

Just some of my thoughts :D

I would agree with a lot of your commentary on it except that is mostly likely not a Halo ring in the background.

Also I am not sure that this is the best place for this. Probably would be better on the waypoint forums.

We are all going to get banned aren't we?

the fact you could look at the location and tell it isn't onyx. along with the fact frankie said so and onyx is in glasslands.

Sigma 7 is fake (confirmed) though obviously it had a little truth in it with humanity reverse engineering forerunner tech. And if you even knew about the Sigma system in halo you would understand that it isn't there.

Um, did you even see the LED ending? they have been out of the portal since they arrived in a different area in space.

Not all of this has to or will probably even be in halo 4.

It is a simple theory Grey, cut him some slack.

I honestly have a little bit of confidence with Sigma 7. Frankie confirmed the leak was fake but I don't remember them telling us the name of the planet, was.

My favorite thing about the concept art trailer they released awhile ago is that Bladerunner-like music they have in it.

And yeah, Grey, you need to learn to cut people a bit of slack, not everyone is so focused on every single bit of information in Halo as the people we've collected on our site.

In any case it's a good enough name for now, even though the leak was confirmed fake I still often call the planetoid Sigma 7 for lack of anything better.

Waypoint Moderators aren't really Moderators, just power hungry and its goal is defend their beloved Halo at all costs. (Meaning that they wank Halo too much.)

BS Angel is alleged foe so, be wary of Waypoint and its moderators! Do not attempt to move to Waypoint. Enter your own risk.

*WARNING* IT IS MY OPINION.

Just no. Look, Sigma 7 is just a fake, simple as that. OP should have done some research before making theory. Why he should cut him of some slack? I don't see any point, especially that OP didn't seem research enough.

BTW, you can just call this planet as Legendary planet.

Just no.


Apparently starting every negative response with the word "just" before putting "no" makes you feel big, huh?

You are one internet badass.

Says by person that is hell-bent on "UNSC/Covenant must at Halo 4 because of gameplay reasons or it won't be HALO!"...

Sorry but I'm not negative person, buddy. I'm just disagreeing with poster. Simple as that, no?

Or Shield World, I think the Legendary Planet is 3 years outdated.

Yeah lets just go with shield world instead of arguing about the name of the planet for no reason at all... like the name of this planet really has anything to do with the story.

@accordingto343

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

It's Primordium's cover now so i doubt it'll matter.
