Subject: There will be no purple in Halo 4: Blue Covenant Theory

It's here and here

That IS a Covie ship. And there is no action going on around it.

Also: there is no saying the Servants of Abiding Truth can't have had a sudden increase in followers. We don't know what happens between Glasslands and Halo 4 yet.
The fact that there are Grunts and Jackals with them also might contribute to their increased numbers.

Also, with Infinity being somewhere between 3-5 km long, and Covie CCS Cruisers being about 1.8 km long there is something odd going on there.
Why would Covies stick so close to a massive and overpowered spaceship with a ship that's maybe 300 meters long? That ship wouldn't stand a chance, and it would also not carry enough personnel to succesfully take over Infinity.
The lack of battle around the ship also indicates that it might be accompanying the Infinity...which means multiple factions of Elites...

Yeah, the only reason for them to have a surge of followers and tech, is cause Parangosky. Which I find insanely stupid that she willingly funds and supplies this group.

The leap from basically 3 shuttles to a massive battlefleet, given the Elite's situation, is insane.

Also, A: The flickr pick sure, but if that's against Infinity the CCS class battlecruiser should be far larger.
B: I'm fairly sure that was labeled as some forerunner structure, and not Infinity which is faceplanted into the ground. Same as above, if it's Infinity that CCS-class is far far too small for a 1.8 km length against a 5 km length ship.

  • 06.24.2012 5:50 AM PDT

Let's not go into the stupidity of ONI's actions.

But such a leap might be possible. I mean, it's not likely there are just a few Elites, or even just Elites out there who feel pointless without their religion. It's very possible this group lobbied with other factions such as the Grunts and persuaded the Jackals to form a new alliance. A sort of New Covenant so to speak.
But like I said before, we don't know what happens leading up to H4. So this is all speculation.

As for the pics:
I don't believe that is a CCS Cruiser. It's far too small to be one. There is the possibility of either a CRS Cruiser (a 300m long weaker version of the CCS) or something we never saw before). And that is the Infinity. It has the same domelike structure on top, and other similar details like you can find on pics of Infinity on the internet. It's just a different perspective and side than we normally see of it.

of course they brought back the BR. just couldent leave it dead and buried eh? too many brain-dead spammers demanding its unneeded return i guess...


They changed it significantly, so it's no longer the "god weapon" it was in Halo 3. There's also several weapons that can effectively "counter" it, so I'm not all that concerned.


I wonder how in-universe they'll freaking explain bringing the DMR back, a rifle that was REPLACED by the BR in the marines, but not yet the army only.

"So what's the deal with airline food?" "Who is Master Chief's great Uncle?" In other words: "who cares?" It's been 5 years since Halo 3, weapons devolopment has taken different turns and spawned different policies and different weapons. Why a new DMR model is being introduced into the Marines is a pointless question since it doesn't matter. Honestly who gives a -blam!-. Halo 4 is a game, remember, and they need to build the sandbox around a game format they want.

Elites, grunts, and Jackals working in what can be guessed as a uniformed fighting force. That looks awfully like the Covenant I fought in the other Halo games.

Splintered Elite factions who scared Grunts--who follow the alpha male--into following them, and hired Jackal mercenaries as extra guns.


To DonVizone1 who was saying that he holds to the theory that this is just a splintered faction who oppose the truce and remain zealots: this has basically been confirmed. Awhile ago I read that the Covenant forces here are just "one particular faction who believes one of their Gods lives on Requiem." First I heard it in GI article about Spartan Ops, then later in a quote from Frankie, I believe.

Either way we know they're just one group.

@ Dae Faron. It was described as "a whole fleet." No size indicator was given, except maybe "whole," which isn't a good clue since Cortana may have been exaggerating in surprise.

  • 06.24.2012 7:32 AM PDT

Um, yes it does matter. You might not give a flying -blam!- about canon details, but I do. And so do others.

In terms of canon, the UNSC is either A: introducing a subpar rifle compared to the BR85 (Because the DMR from Reach had been replaced entirely by the BR55 in all groups but the army) or B: Introducing a rifle that becomes redundant with the presence of the BR85.

Edit: It's like, today, they release a new version of the Stg 44 (WW2 assault rifle), alongside the Stg 77 (modern assault rifle), and fielded both at the same time. The Stg 44 was discontinued and replaced. It just doesn't make sense. That is what I'm talking about. Or like, the Tiger Tank and Leopard 2. You won't see them pulling out a Tiger tank to fight alongside a Leopard 2 would you?

343 sounds like it's just stuffing the weapons sandbox so they can claim it's bigger and better. Hell, probably the main reason the Covenant are still around so they can just use those weapons and vehicles.

As for the fleet... John makes his way to the aft observation deck, viewing a large Covenant fleet surrounding the Forward Unto Dawn while multiple boarding crafts dock with the heavily damaged aft section of the frigate. Is what I'm going off of.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Good observation.

Since the end of the Covenant War, there has been many fractions form.

The Covenant on Requiem is most likely one of these fractions.

My theory:

ONI gets caught helping the rebels. Majority of Elites abandon the Arbiter, who escapes, only with the few most loyal followers.

Arbiter and his Elites flee, but don't help humans, they are disheartened. They may return later.

The Elites start to get aggressive, teaming up with the Unggoy and Kig Yar again.

They fight a war with the Brutes, and all sides look for Forerunner tech.

That leads them to Requiem, which is the planet next to Installation 07.

The DMR is not the same as a battle rifle.

Tell me why the Army uses Mk14, M16 and the M21.

Three different weapons, three different ranges.

343i is trying to keep the Covenant in, because frankly without them majority of Halo fans will be disheartened. Sad truth but we must accept it.

@accordingto343

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

The DMR was around way past 2548, it's not a prototype.

*Sigh*
Go to your Reach stats in B.net. Go to summary. Hit the picture of the DMR. It should say something like "The DMR saw widespread use in all branches of the UNSC until it was superseded by the BR-55 in all branches but the Army".

This is canon. The DMR was replaced by the BR-55.

It's like me making a modernized musket. Sure it's better, and a different weapon than say the M16, but the point is... The M16 is just better.

Yeah I exaggerated comparing a musket to an M16 to get my point across. One gun is simply better than the other.

However in terms of gameplay, I'm loving it.

Whether it was superseeded or not is irrelevant.

You know the M14? That was replaced by the M16 in the Army in almost all situations.

Yet the M14 is still in service today.

Every weapon has it's role. For all we know, the UNSC army may have had personal on the Infinity.

And frankly you are looking at it in the wrong context.

Why were there no Battle Rifles in Halo CE?

Did Halo 2 break canon?

No, it was done for gameplay, and adding new weapons for game play is fine. We should be focusing on the plot points that matter, such as Chief's armor, instead of something that is incredibly pointless.

  • 06.24.2012 9:14 PM PDT

Halo CE was basically the story of human survivors from Reach, discovering something huge.

I doubt they had every weapon the UNSC had on them.

Although I agree that there are more important things to talk about (I'm actually glad the DMR is back), your post that the Halo Reach DMR being a prototype was VERY wrong. It was a finished product. The Halo 4 DMR is just an improvement.

And I THINK, I am not sure, that Chief's "new" armour is Mark VI. It looks different because of artistic license. 343 didn't want to totally rip off Bungie (which in the case of Chief's armour I think they should have).

Cortana claims to have done some "software upgrades" but that cannot change the outward appearance of the armour...

As said, the DMR was not a prototype.

DMR and BR still provide the same role basically. Medium to long range rifle. Also, America still has to replace some of the older rifles due to logistic's. We don't see them going "This rifle was completely replaced by that rifle." yet.

The DMR was outright REPLACED, meaning, the BR is the better one. So why the heck is it back? Hell, why is the Infinity carrying Falcons from Halo Reach?(While I absolutely love the vehicle, it seems something more in line with planetary garrison due to the fact it can't load onto a pelican for taking from a ship to the ground.)

As for the Covenant, I think the majority of Halo fans expected them to be defeated and GONE. You know, brand new enemies without the old. Having them there just prolongs the war. The war which we physically saw END in Halo 3.

Edit: Um, the UNSC army is a DEFENSIVE group. I doubt we'd see them placed on the Infinity. Marines yes, army no.

And again, the M14 is still around because the US army hasn't fully replaced it. The DMR was OUTRIGHT FREAKING STATED that it had been completely replaced.

[Edited on 06.24.2012 10:24 PM PDT]

  • 06.24.2012 10:21 PM PDT

Before Reach, the DMR was being phased out. By Halo Reach, the army was the only branch left where it was still active.

I personally would have still liked to be Covenant in Halo 4, but not the way they are. I'd like to see all the different factions from each race.

Hell we MIGHT have had Elite allies (if Glasslands didn't portray most Elites as wanting humans dead), and then we would have had Elites in MP canonically.

Again, how do you know what happens between 2553-2557?

Also, how do you know whether the Army is based on Infinity or not?

Modern Special forces can choose their weapons, whatever it may be, the Spartan 4's may be requested DMR's.

End of story, and no, they don't fill the same role, even their names contradict your statement.

Also, the M16 has FULLY replaced the M14, but it is still in service for the groups that want it/need it.

They could be the Elite faction that wanted humans dead. They have a different colour and the Covenant enemies seen in the gameplay were being lead by Elites.

If they were regular Covenant, I'd assume they would have been led by Brutes.


yeah maybe the new enemies will have purple somewhere

I don't, neither do you.

Army = planetary defense/garrison force. Why would they be on Infinity? super unlikely.

So they requested a BRAND new variant of an OUTDATED and REPLACED rifle.

Um, same role. Medium to long range rifle.

If the M16 has fully replaced the M14, then the M14 wouldn't be in use. Also, as I hear, the M14 was the the assault rifle, then got switched role-wise. Likewise, what you are saying is like, a new variant of M16 comes out. And at the same time, a new variant of the M14 comes out. Aka, new version of an outdated rifle which has been replaced.

The DMR and BR clearly fill the same role(or similar), because why else would the DMR get replaced by the BR? If they filled two completely different roles (or even partly different roles), then guess what? there would be no need to replace the DMR with the BR.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

How many times do I have to explain it? Just because a weapon gets replaced, that does not mean it for fills the same roles.

That also doesn't mean that it has the same effect.

Jets replaced propellers. That doesn't mean jets are propellers have the same ability, or niche.

Even though the P51 Mustang was old and outdated, it was still used in the Korean War.

Same applies to the DMR.

Edit: I win
http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/detail/a/c0dfea7c-87fa-42 24-82ff-c44d93b73f03#imageNumber=1


Largely surpassed in production.

=/= Replaced FULLY
=/= Gone
=/= They threw all of them away
Halopedian agrees, although it was superseeded, it wasn't fully replaced, however, the only full reliant sector is the Army.

And again, my special forces point, modern special forces can choose their guns, regardless of it's origin, or age.

Same applies to the DMR, the S4's may have ordered some.

End of story.

Can we go back to the Covenant now?

Although it saw more widespread use throughout all branches of the UNSC prior to 2548, it has since been superseded in use by the BR55 in all branches but the Army.

Superseded: a : to cause to be set aside b : to force out of use as inferior
or to set aside or cause to be set aside as void, useless, or obsolete, usually in favor of something mentioned; make obsolete

In case of the DMR and BR, you keep denying they both are medium to long range rifles, with marksmen capabilities. I find this very, very amusing.

Also, you are saying that special forces can order them some muskets? They won't get laughed out of the building because of it?


AGAIN, I'd agree if it wasn't used for the EXACT SAME THING. Again, you are saying that because the DMR's were replaced by the BR, and both rifles do the EXACT SAME THING, they clearly have different roles.

Jet engines replaced propellers in fighter aircraft. Are you going to see a brand new propeller based fighter aircraft made today? NO. That is what is being said. Gun a(DMR) was replaced and succeeded by gun b(BR), now we are seeing both.

Using that comparison, it's like having a WW2 mustang variant created toward to work alongside a brand new jet fighter.

Course, if 343 would freaking just give us information instead of namedropping everything this could be avoided.

edit: Yeah, you win in proving my point exactly. The DMR is no longer in any real widespread use by any group other then the UNSC army. Likewise, friend in military told me special forces don't get to ask for ANY gun. They can ask for any weapon in the mission inventory.

Also: there is no saying the Servants of Abiding Truth can't have had a sudden increase in followers. We don't know what happens between Glasslands and Halo 4 yet.
The fact that there are Grunts and Jackals with them also might contribute to their increased numbers.
Agreed.

Battle Rifle=/= DMR by NAME. Two different roles, different ranges, by name.

My point is that the DMR is going to be in Halo 4 for legitimate reasons, the Special Forces point still stands, even if it has been superseeded, my point of it being present also stands.

DMR is in Halo 4, lets leave it at that.

Ever considered these may have been newer versions of the DMR. And that due to low ammo supply, they decided to pull every arsenal they could bring. And thus they brought with them some old tech.

Also one of the problems may have been that the BR, due to having three burst could become jammed. While the DMR, due to one, could when jammed could be fixed more easily than the BR.

There are many reasons. But i think they just took a whole bunch of ammo, and the dmr was being improved for further range than the br.

  • 06.25.2012 8:21 AM PDT

But why bring back old tech when ONI is pulling new tech out of its ass? E.g Spartan IV's, reverse engineered Forerunner Slipspace drive in UNSC Infinity, etc.
