At least according to Frankie, towards that bulletin's end under the picture of the mech. They're a new enemy class, but they "haven't revealed all of the enemy types yet, or the Ancient Evil."

Just thought I'd share this. Means we can get back to speculating; the fact that the Evil doesn't have its on enemy class, since it isn't the Prometheans/Forerunners, means they'd need to be so powerful that they'd be unfightable in conventional terms. Such as the Precursors.

Unless there is a third, yet to be unveiled enemy class, which I doubt.

We should know better, because we are better.

He said they hadn't revealed all the enemy types but that doesn't rule out the Precursors as an enemy. The Prometheans may have been hacked, for lack of a better word, by the Ancient Evil. There might only be one Evil who is controlling them all. Doesn't mean that we aren't going to fight them.

Didn't Frankie also say there would be no Covenant in the game? Not hating on the guy, he's pretty cool, but there were at least some remains of the Covenant in 2 different gameplay trailers.

[Death to all who appose of me...]

And just to ask, those things in the beginning of the E3 trailer about Halo 4, those were robots ooorr actual Forerunner?? Because to me they did not look enough like they were described to be.

They are AI creatures, tasked by the actual Prometheans to protect Requiem (the Forerunner world in Halo 4).

He said there would be no Covenant in matchmaking.

That makes way more sense, thank you.

Not to be off topic, but,


We already know Elites are not in, which means no Invasion as we know it in Halo 4. Have you considered releasing a game type (both at launch and after launch) which relied on some of the aspects which made Invasion great?

Elites are in Campaign. Elites are not playable MP types. We will, however, add some interesting variety to MP which will scratch that itch.


Wat?

Kotaku said that, not Frankie.

^^A substitute for traditional SvE Invasion.

So there will be something similar to a second race, but not.

I say mechs.

  • 06.14.2012 5:42 PM PDT

maybe there will be an mp gametype that is spartans vs. promethean knights.

  • 06.14.2012 6:12 PM PDT

Why are you here?

Yeah. I was almost getting worried that we only might be fighting them and Covies for a second, but then I remembered. I can't wait to see it.

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

There will be an improved Invasion in Halo 4, according to Kiki Wolfkill or whatever her name is.

"Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bull-blam!-, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you."-Lemmy of Motorhead

Yes, I'm the guy who had the Flood admit to being furries.

Promethians are just a higher form of Sentinels, right? They're just defending Requiem.

Prometheans (the Forerunner class) are the warrior caste of the Forerunner Empire, the ones we see in Halo 4 are pretty much their AI constructs, probably to fulfill the role of defenders just like the Sentinels are to the Halo installations.

she must be where halo 4 follower got his info about elites being replaced in invasion, hopefully that means they will fix the spawn killing problem.

Why hello there.

I'm just guessing, but I think it's going to be the Precursors.

When I play to win I voice message people call outs.

He said no Covenant, the Elites, and grunts are probably heretics, and rebels.

Questions lead to learning, learning leads to kowledge, knowledge leads to understanding, understanding leads to peace.

The ancient evil appears to be the Didact. Can't be 100% sure until the game is played though.

He said they wouldn't be the main antagonist, but they would play a minor role in the game.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

This still doesn't explain why the Didact's insignia was seen when something took over the Infinity.

Correct in my opinion. The symbol behind the ancient evil when the trailer ends is the symbol for the Didact.
