I was just playing through the level where you first start as Arbiter. I got to the part where you fly the banshee after the Heretic leader. I looked down and noticed a stormt sky with the clouds spiraling and there is lightning in the spiraling clouds. They said this is a Forerunner structure in this level, maybe we will see Forerunner in the new game. This is just an observation, I got excited and thought I would post about it, maybe some research can show more.

The stormy sky you see below is the Gas Giant Threshold. The automated installation you were invading as the arbiter was one that was used to "mine" the gas giants atmosphere for materials to power the Halo up above. (Also, the station keeping thrusters keeping the Halo at the Lagrange point would probably require some sort of reactive fuel. A gas giant is perfect for this)

The fact you are looking at a storm is not so surprising since you have an example in the Red Eye of our own gas giant, Jupiter. It is one gigantic storm that's gone on for quite a long while.

The difference herein seems that the Forerunner artifact over Threshold took advantage of the turbulent energies. The forerunner artifact on Earth seems the opposite, it appears to be causing the disturbance.

i think that was just a storm in halo 2, like a hurricane because didn't they say in the cutscene that the structure would not survive the storm?
