Actually no, read the book Contact Harvest and you will learn that the first was between human cargo ships and Covenant pirates, specifically Jackals. Your opinions is idiotic when you don't even base it on facts.

Has it been confirmed that it will have firefight, forge and threater yet?

I'll end this argument right now for everyone that doesn't read the books. At no point in any of the Halo games have we seen the Covenant destroyed! We heard of it, and it's been eluded too but the Universe is HUGE there are tons of reasons the covenant could still exist. My personal outlook is that all the races were lied to by the Prophets, there's various political/economic reasons the other races may have stayed in communication.

And hell if the Chief killed my friends and family I'd still want his head!



Spartan Ops has replaced Firefight but is pretty much the same thing just with objectives and story elements. So it's actually better.

Forge and Theater I believe are both confirmed.


I agree.

NOO! I always loved firefight because it was just random fun.
I guess, it was for best for the storyline. Cortana is going to a crazy ass story twist.. but the Chief is going to like " Bitch I'm been on this rock for five year and I want to go now and you will not stop me for kicking more ass."

I would imagine that there would be no flood. However...

Have you seen that new new new trailer? (I have to say this to friends). The sphere?

Between when the alienish music comes along and the chief fully turns around, there is an extreme flood sound. Like, totally flood.

I have two theories on this subject.

1. It is indeed flood; a proto-gravemind has commandeered the Forerunner sphere (and presumably other defensive systems) and begun an attack. This is further reinforced by the little gem of information in Halo Glasslands, where Halsey was interrogated near Installation 03(another Halo construct.) They commandeered a human vessel, simple as that. Cortana's attempt to infiltrate Requiem's massive data array has led her into conflict with the Proto-Gravemind. Weakened due to being 8 years old, already having fought the gravemind, and always hanging around with that Halo data has made her weakened. She has been corrupted by the flood (dun dun duh!)

2. Nup. No way. I mean seriously, the flood are gone. They're dead.

But on another note, that gigantor truck thing looks a LOT like the truck from the Prometheus trailer. Coincedence? Then again, it just looks like your average gigantic APC/Cargo carrier.

I think she'll be talking to the Forerunner A.I who's trying to get off Requiem.

The forerunners and humans never really had a good relationship, the lore states that humans and forerunners were around at the same time, and almost at the same technological level as them, however, when the forerunners learnt that the humans were meant to take over the mantle, they got annoyed and wars and stuff happened and i just got too lazy to explain.

Precursors chose humans as inheritors to the Mantle, something which the Forerunners hold sacred, Precursors and Forerunners had war, Forerunners win. Humans and San 'Shyuum (prophets) make truce and fight Forerunners, Forerunners win and wipe out all of humanity, and most of the San Shyuum. LONG STORY SHORT Forerunners were massive meanies sometimes.

So you are implying that its towards a enemy and the not Master Cheif? If so, the infinity must have horrible security on the shipm even though it has the most brighties and most smartest from planet Earth.

I was implying that those people could've at least put up a the best firewall to date but thats misunderstanding. I wasn't talking about a person or thing but an AI, I was reffering Private suggestion that Ai has borded the ship and attempted to leave with it.

Tiel, there were non-military frigates used before the war with the Covenant. Get your facts straight, too.

---

The UNSC Infinity was originally built for war, but was repurposed for peace. This means that humans don't need to put the best everything into one ship anymore.

...Even though the Infinity had all the best tech Humans could bring up, along with several Forerunner parts that were found within Onyx's shield world. But meh, whatever floats anyone's boat, I guess.

iDerp'd :p

....... so. off.topic. Are you guys getting any of the preorder exclusive from the different sities like Gamespot?

Another Pillar of Autumn scenario... where the hell do the unsc get their captains? Cant even fly a freakin' pelican without crashing it lol but seriously, i wanted to see that ship unleash some serious ass-whoopings:(

Unlikely. I hypothesize that Cortana has control of Requiem's systems - that her screaming out "I will not allow you to leave this planet!!!!!!" is because she cares about the Chief; if she and he stayed on Requiem, he would be safe. Or, she just wants a fantasy world where the chief is always with her.

Kinda like Halsey taking the spartans to the onyx shield world, That's actually one of the possibilities i went over in my mind after i saw her screaming in the video. Interesting idea.

I hypothesize she's yelling at the game's antagonist, because that'd make sense...

Well that too, obviously lol

I'm a little late, but that picture is a Reach banshee. That's what model the banshees had during the spaceflight mission.

So wrong. Dude, Halo 2 has many reference points as to what happens when. Halo 2\ODST has the New Mombassa slipspace rupture. Halo 3 ODST is maybe a few days at most behind Halo 3. With all this, you should conclude that Halo 2 is a few days before Halo 3.

Unless you're talking about the REAL WORLD in which Halo 2 came out a few years before Halo 3. Only then would you be right, but something tells me this isn't what you meant.

Did they ever show how the Halo 4 Jackals look like? I so, can someone post a picture here?
Well i mean they did show it but... Like a closer more detailed picture.
Edited by P3 on Jun 10, 2012 at 09:20 AM

I couldn't find any jackal renders anywhere, that's the only one i didn't find... But from the looks of it, 343 shortened their heads, so they look sort of 'snub nosed' from what I have seen

Well that is sort of how they looked like in Halo 1 anyway so... They look pretty cool like that i guess. Wish i could see them up closer though.

...as well as the Plasma Pistol, Sniper Rifle, Magnum, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Pistol, Needler, and possibly Phantom.

This game looks exquisite. The environments are very nice. And, well, I'm definitely anticipating it.

http://venturebeat.com/2012/06/10/interview-frank-oconnor-on-why-343-industries-changed-halo/

Read this!

Especially those of you who are wondering why the Covenant are enemies again, and anyone trying to understand why 343 is doing what it did with Halo 4.

Tbh I didn't find that particularly enlightening.
Kinda disapointing too that his "hell yeah" moment came from multiplayer, and that he almost seems hesitant about his "call" towards the end of the interview. But that's just my interpretation :)

This.

Wrong. Because Halo was bigger than Crysis 2 because it was more fun and less bland. I mean. Crysis 2 was kind of fun with pretty graphics. But it was also kind of bland... Halo Combat Evolved, was fun and, it had pretty graphics. Also Halo was more revolutionary then Crysis 2. And that is why Halo 4 looks like what? Awsome? Or less awsome because they thought it was less necessary to improve graphics that much because it was already good untill Halo 4...? :|

I think they were talking about when Halo Combat Evolved literally first came out...in the early 2000's. Crysis 2 wasn't even thought of (aka created) at that time :|

I know that. I mean Halo was more known for when it came out compared to when crysis 2 came out.... I'm pretty sure... I think... yeah...

Actually, Im pretty sure they meant that it was advanced in terms of graphics and gameplay, similar to Crysis 2, though gameplay wise its debatable.

I guess. :\

That's only because once Halo came out with it's graphics and sandbox gameplay, other games followed suit, so when Crysis came out the sandbox gameplay was not new, only the graphics where.

And those are still some of the nicest graphics out there. Halo 4 has really nice graphics too, especially considering how old the 360 compared to the modern PC.

They have done some really nice changes to get Halo looking that good and still running smoothly on the Xbox 360.

Are you for real. i hope thats not the sniper. It looks as if it sould be in CoD. Is it just me or every time we get new pic of halo 4 it make u less and less want it :(
