I think it would be cool for the Spirit of Fire to make it back into the halo series in Halo 4 because if anyone has played Halo Wars then you don't really know what happens to them. i Think it would be cool for them to come back. Do you guys?

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

They went back in time and crashed on Installation 04....[/mindfuck]

You only die once, better make it count.

The end of H3 did look like a sheild world like in halo wars... i had the same thought

Pretty sure at Halofest (or was it Comic Con?) they said they had no plans so far for the Spirit of Fire's crew.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I miss the Spirit of Fire. ;_;

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

It would allow for 343 to tie up that particular loose end. And it would add another 3 Spartan-II's for a full co-op experience. I'm all for the Spirit's return.

As no one knows where the Spirit of Fire went after Halo: Wars we can't answer this question yet. There are some speculations however that the SoF was at that Battle of Reach. If this is true, two things could have happened: 1. The ship and it's crew were destroyed by the Covenant at Reach. 2. It could have fled somewhere just like the Pillar of Autumn, making it MIA again. I vote for yes because I would love to see John fight alongside Alice, Douglas and Jerome.

I liked halo wars alot so it would be cool

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."
- J. Robert Oppenheimer

Halo Wars was an abomination that I really can't consider to be Halo. I hope they don't.

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.

I think it,s more likely we'll see the UNSC Infinity.

We WILL see the UNSC Infinity. I just think it's possible the UNSC Spirit of Fire is in Halo 4 as well.

I don't think we'll see SoF but I agree with the guys above who say we'll see the infinity.

You should read my first post in this topic about the possibility of the SoF being in Halo 4 (or being MIA).

I feel like this situation could fit perfectly into Halo 4 with very little effort. Even if you are a Halo fan that has an avid hate for Halo Wars, if you think about the possibility of this happening, it's not the worst thing that could be come up with. They could very easily explain some weird events in Halo Wars (such as Humans discovering the flood several decades before the events of Halo 1) and they wouldn't have to make up some obscure story for them in the future to make a sequel game. In fact, they could even do a spinoff type of thing similar to what was the Halo: Uprising comics which bridged the gap between Halo 2 and 3.

Halo 4 could have Master Chief meeting up with the Spirit of Fire crew at some point in Halo 4. An immediate explanation will not be needed, all that needs to be said to the player is that the Spirit of Fire is a long-time MIA ship that went missing years ago. It drifted near whatever location that Master Chief happens to be at that point in the game. A person who has never played Halo Wars won't be completely confused and a person who has played the game will get a nice little surprise. This will also be a nice way to explain why Master Chief has immediate access to an arsenal of UNSC weapons to make the player comfortable with familiar weapons. Remember, the Spirit of Fire is a Navy ship so it will be carrying Marines and similar model weapons (assauly rifles, battle rifles, smg's) that are similar, if not the same, to those seen in Halo 3. Even could have a few never-before-seen-in-game UNSC weapons to add to the sandbox and could be writen off as older models. And, as somebody said before, could explain the presence of 3 other Spartans in Co-op. Not that co-op Spartans need an explanation, but I feel it would be a nice subtle touch. We've already seen that Master Chief's armor is changing, it wouldn't be outlandish to say that the same thing happened to the other Spartan's armor.

The spinoff I mentioned earlier could be something as simple as comics or a novel, to a full-blown side game that would be Halo Wars 2 (please don't tell me Ensemble is dead and this will never happen. I know ensemble no longer exists, but the sheer fact that Ensemble even made Halo Wars shows that Microsoft is not entirely against letting a third-party in to work on a Halo project). This spinoff could explain how. the SoF got to where it was in Halo 4.

No one criticise me but what game or book was the infinite from?

The Infinity is from Glasslands.

I meant infinity, and thanks.

If they ever brought it back, it would be in a halo wars sequel, not in the "main story" per-say.
