System Integrity Confirmed

I have a better idea, master chief was sucked into a wormhole after the legendary ending of halo three, he is shot out in the time of the forerunners, they are on their fourth generation of Spartans, this is where the humans found the technology for their Spartans. After defeating the flood and changing history master chief wakes up to find he was dreaming the whole time.


that is the most retarded -blam!- idea i have ever heard, you are a -blam!-

"Where ere thou hast been, here or in yon world manifest? Canst thou tell what is, or what was, or what is to come? No thing shall last. Yet there are some things that will never change. History is written in blood, yet are battles really lost on the battlefield? Canst thou tell me where thou comest, and where thou goest, and what is, or what was, or what will be? For everything remains, AS IT NEVER WAS."

like I said mark VI may or may not have that feature but so far this seems to be the only logical explanation I can think of.


Not even that it's possible the armor we're seeing is not the armor we start the game with?

sorry, i hadn't heard that other theory until my friend told it to me after i made the post. Truthfully it does make sense but it just didn't come to mind when i tried to think of a way to explain the armor change.

KEEP IT CLEAN!

So, the information gathered so far:
-Master Chief's armour may or may not be MkVI
-SPARTAN IVs may or may not be in campaign
-Multiplayer maps are not featured in campaign
-The members of this forum may or may not agree
-ONI may or may not be antagonists
-The Covenant are returning
-The UNSC is returning

So, Elites could (however unlikely it is) return for multiplayer. I'm bracing for a flamin'.

Sarge would be proud!

What do you mean he's the only Spartan in left in mankind. Have you even read the books! There is still Jun, Fred, Serin, Kelly, and nobody knows what happened to some that were actually MIA like gray team. What about sIII gamma company. Team saber and katana are still unknown.

How do we know they are multiplayer only if we've only been told of their existence and use in multiplayer? I mean, it's a very safe bet that they're in multiplayer - it could even be safely argued that it is an outright certainty - but the only thing we know for certain of the campaign is that it has relevance to Forerunners, the UNSC makes some form of appearance, there are updated and more advanced Warthogs and Battle Rifles, and the Chief somehow gets a hold of a new suit of armor.

There's really nothing blatantly excluding the Spartan IV's from the campaign storyline, so we shouldn't rule that out until we know for certain.


chief is still wearing mark VI, frankie even brought that up in the video and then stated MP and SP are separate experiences.


Grey101, you seem to be basing your argument on the mere statement that "MP and SP are separate experiences" and you've taken it out of context in order to prove your point that so many before me have proven wrong.
What Frankie was saying that while previous Halo games, such as ODST and Reach pulled their multiplayer maps from the campaign itself, Halo 4 will emulate Halo 3 in that it will build multiplayer environments from the ground up in order to make multiplayer strictly multiplayer and campaign strictly campaign.

Yet even with your previous statement of "they're separate experiences" even if it was in context with what he was saying, does this specifically mean internally that Spartan IV's will not be part of the campaign in any way, shape, or form? No. He said that the multiplayer would be explained, and unless your postulating that before every multiplayer game that every player is forced to watch a three-minute cutscene explaining why they're fighting before they play, the only real place for the Spartan IV backstory to be revealed would be in the campaign itself.
Of course they're separate, it means that you play them separately like every other Halo game, but your taking some offhand unscripted comment from one narrator and turning it into the underlying guideline of Halo 4, that Spartan IV's are never mentioned or a part of the campaign, even though they are the integral piece of multiplayer and it was explicitly said by more than one commentator that the multiplayer story would be explained, and the only place for that to be truly delved into is campaign.

Stop destroying everyone elses guesses just by repeating the same thing over and over without seeing other peoples point of view. I might be completely wrong and you are right, but you need to open up your mind to the possibilities.


Paragraphs, first off.


How am I taking that out of context when that is the only context we have? You cannot make so many assumptions of them being in campaign based off that part of the video being in multiplayer. It isn't like we don't have or have had things in the halo experience that were exclusive to MP and SP. If the video hinted at more then I wouldn't be contesting, but it would be wise to wait for more information before getting trigger happy.

Um. When he was talking about the maps is not the same as him talking about the spartans. He says in MP you are a spartan IV while in MP you are MC. He also says they are separate. This is like saying "If you can play as a hunter in FF you must be able to play as one in the campaign".

I ma not "postulating" anything and he said the reason for spartans fighting each other would be explained not the spartan IVs themselves since they were already brought up in Glasslands. I suspect the answer is probably going to be a simulation since that is the only one that makes perfect sense with everything in mind

"r taking some offhand unscripted comment from one narrator and turning it into the underlying guideline of Halo 4,"


lol, what? So by me saying the SIVs probably won't be in SP that is me "assuming everything about halo 4"? oh, and that comment was on the script and that narrator was frankie, who is pretty much the head honcho of 343I. not some "Random narrator." critical to multiplayer doesn't have anything to do with campaign. I could wager that the BR was "critical to the MP of halo 3" yet if the campaign didn't have it nothing would suffered.

"Stop destroying everyone else's guesses just by repeating the same thing over and over without seeing other peoples point of view.."

Well, for one I am known for doing that and it wouldn't be my character if I stopped. Two, Nobody should be speculation so hard with such bland statements. Explain how I am destroying "everybody's guesses" if I am only posting this in one thread. Also explain how telling people to wait for more information is a bad idea.


We have been told several times that the reclaimer trilogy is going back to the roots of story telling and focusing on cortana and chief. Throwing in random spartans doesn't go with that not to mention it wouldn't be smart doing that after how reach was received.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok that's not the only context we have. We know that halo four is gonna be a little different. It could include sII's sIII's and sVI's. If they want to make the books and the games similar, then we could be seeing spartan3s like katana or even Naomi from glasslands.

Tis I, The Supreme Umbra!

I really don't think that they'll be in the campaign, as I doubt the UNSC would randomly send some of their best soldiers to investigate a beacon (from Cortana), when the most likely scenario is that she and the Chief perished.
They'll probably stay in the multiplayer.

  • 03.30.2012 10:22 AM PDT

... Race ya to her.

I honestly think it's just going to be training exercises really. Without pulling some BS out of no where and throwing them into the story, training is the only thing I can think of that makes any sense. Honestly I can see the explanation/story being a pop up window of text or a video hen you first boot up MP. More than likely a text story about how they are trying to sort out the Spartan IV's into the best groups, single out the top Spartans, ect.

Of course I can be 100% wrong, but just like anyone here it's a speculation on barely available data.

If your talking about mere multiplayer, they'll play out just fine. Hopefully it will be similar to Halo 3's multiplayer which, in my opinion, was the best multiplayer experience every constructed in a Halo title.

Five bucks on the table, I say that they are a Top secret project and remember the mutation from Ghosts of Onyx that made them go animal? It was put in and made them go insane and now they try to kil anyone who is not they're color (Red and Blue).

Next time use a spoiler alert tag if you're going to blatantly announce the whole reason of reading Ghosts of Onyx... I still have yet to read that book.

GoO has been out for years if you haven't read it and you are in the universe section thatis your issue.

This isn't G@ypoint if you aren't updated that is your fault.
