About light weaponry has anyone ever considered that you could also get your hands on it. And in the beginning you will only be fighting the robots ontop who are like the sentinels from before.

This then leads to the question, if he meets the forerunners will there be a civil war and will he be upgraded by one side. Also could he have found an abandoned city, and found a complex where he was able to be able to upgrade his armour with the help of cortana in the database and hacking, giving him the upgrades. This leads to the host being informed and you needing to get out, and fight.

The beginning for me is just going to be terrain with sentinels everywhere, it is later once upgrades are received that there shall be more fighting. Also remember we have to take into acount gameplay is not really fiction.

You know, I somewhat agree with this. I've been worried for a while now that 343i may change everything, the Terminals in Halo: CEA and the Halo 4 trailer realy drove that in.


Wow...

Do explain how CEA's Terminals did anything to change the established story? It's about 343 Guilty Spark's time on Installation 04 for the 100,000 years following the firing of the Halos, there is absolutely no detail whatsoever in the Terminals which conflicts with established canon.

And likewise with the Halo 4 trailer, I'm not sure which you're talking about so I'm going to go through all of them.

1) The reveal trailer at E3 was a non-canonical CGI teaser and the assets it portrays are only to show what things might look like in the game. In reference to this, I bet you're going to mention the armour... Well they've said that there's going to be an explanation for it, but I didn't hear you whining about your worry that Bungie was going to change things when they massively changed the Arbiter's armour from Halo 2 to 3 (somehow it changed colour, sprouted a flashlight and mandible guards).

2) The concept art trailer was... concept art - and therefore to be taken with a grain of salt for what they represent. Yet they perfectly pulled off the Forerunner aesthetic with that and are clearly putting a lot of effort into keeping the vibrant settings that were in the other Halos before Reach.

3) The recently released ViDoc shows how 343i are saying that they're going to keep the classic Halo feel, and it's pretty clear that they're not lying. Bloom is gone, the BR is back, etc. It's got a much more classic feel to it mixed with sprinting and a new equipment system.

For gameplay, change is the norm in order for these games to galvanise themselves and be fresh. 343i is doing exactly what Bungie did by changing up the formula a bit whilst the core of the experience is the classic Halo feel.

So at what point in these videos did you somehow get the feel that 343i are going to "change everything"?

I know that some are Bungie employees but I think, especialy after Halo: Reach, that many will want to craft an entirely diffrent game. On second though, I know they will. They confirmed CoD-style perks are still in the game at this late-stage.

Sigh... You don't pay attention to what they say, do you? Yes, 'perks' are in it but Frankie said that it's not at all like what is in Call of Duty. You're too quick to jump to conclusions on things you know nothing about.


Finally someone who knows what they're talking about.

Personally I'm putting my money on chief getting:

new armour/upgrades for Chief
Some of the forerunners still being alive
Sentinels, flood, covenant and humans all being enemies at some point
Cortana loosing her mind
Chief finds other Spartans which survived the war
Forerunner artefacts which are being dismantled and used as weapons
Maybe even the return of the prophets? (covenant prophets)

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

I don't understand how in the hell we are going to fight forerunners seeing as All of their armor is far more advanced than the Marks we got and can preform far better. Not to mention that Each are has an AI that is better than Cortana and they could instantly Hack MC's suit- engagement over.

Not to mention the fact they use light weaponry and machines that make scarabs look like barbies. How the Hell is master chief going to survive if he doesn't get A Forerunner suit and a substantially upgraded cortana?

I am not going to Leave the haloverse with that all being said but i will seriously shake my head if they nerf the forerunners for a sake of a trilogy, how they hell are they a threat to the universe or Evil? Not to mention they have no reason to fight a tier one 3 (and upcoming) Tier 2 race if they are clearly now tier zero.


I didn't even get to the part about Prometheans being large as a great white is long and dozens of other things. The plot would only be good if we were fighting faber's Faction of builders as a side enemy. Still wouldn't explain nearly everything else.


This is what I've been wondering. How is the Chief going to fight Forerunners if they end up being the enemies. It would be unfortunate if the Forerunners got nerfed so the Chief could beat them...

If the forerunner saga taught us anything it's that it will be human and forerunners fighting together against precursors

Yet Primordium states the Didact is an antagonist of some sort and a recent Mag shot says we are fighting forerunners.

Members here dont get banned.

They just go missing in action.

But the Forerunners have met humans before... So they would recognize a human and so would any of the artificial life in a Forerunner installation.

Grey i think my OP goes over it. A new dude on a planet where no one is supposed to be. A random human appears, not safe to have extraterrestrial organism nearby etc. Or the chief accidently helping the wrong side.

I'm so excited 4 this game! i'm going to miss bungie, but it'll be kool to see what 343 can do

Actually, in Halo 4 we will be fighting crime.

Master Chief must head a Florida-based SWAT squad, where the team are wary about his origins...but will they trust their newfound leader when it matters most: in the middle of a drug-busting raid?

Grey, I did not know this.

Could I please have a link?

  • 03.27.2012 1:33 PM PDT

wait what magazine are you talking about

  • 03.27.2012 3:07 PM PDT

I was thinking that there could be a civil war between the forerunners or something along the lines of that. Chief can't be on his own because the forerunner would out number him countless to one so i don't see any other way forward.
However, 343i announced the return of the covenant and an upgraded warthog so maybe there are already friendly human and covenant forces on the planet?

Something of a lone wolf during a civil war, where you got to survive while the other people are blowing -blam!- up everywhere.

I can't give a link without getting banned and the forerunner political struggle ended with the attack on the capital and 07.

I live in Florida so this will be teh awesome. Can't wait for that boss fight with alligators. I just hope 343 uses tact in the way they portray the "redneck" civilians, but the city of Miami is beautifully realized with the new engine

I personally think that is referring to sentinels or some other forerunner machines and the such personally. I think it could be possible some deadly wildlife inhabit the planet as well though.

Mainly because in a gameplay-sense I see a actual forerunner warrior servant playing like a elite zealot on steroids wielding a unseen new forerunner gun for even the lowest rank.
