Victory Element

ok, when they say "we know where he is going", that doesnt insist that they already know who it is. If it was a banshee, Cortana could've said the same exact thing, and i'm sure they dont know the pilot personally. also, Its not even the didact! it the Didacts crytum. If the Didact has been in his cryptum, how chief have ever met him before

ummmm. why would anyone do this in war games?? you could just be running down a hall, with no gun, feeling free as the wind!!........and then a guy with gun turns the corner...............

in reality they are holograohic simulators, but when you are actually playing in a game, the objects around you have solid properties like a real battlefield. why would spartans be trained in an unrealistic battlefield where weapons just teleport or fall thorugh bildings?? I guess im thinking this thorugh to seriously..... it probably just teleports indoors because it cant be like a cod care package

i can see a lot of people think this will cause a lot of problems. I guess its not something that should be implemented because of racism......unless there is a specific playlist called spartan chess(regular slayer with just different colors) so you know what you're getting into but we know that wont happen. I would still want to this as an option in custom games though

its an idea i guess, but does that mean you can get demoted if you have a few rough games?

duplicate of chief probably or random spartan IV

i like seeing a preview of what armor and weapons we will have available, but i'm sure its not all of it.....

wow, we always seem to find each other in a lot of deeep halo discussion........but we never seem to agree. I like that you have knowledge of these very important topics but for once i want to be on the same side!! :wallbash:

you should be a poet

ya i agree. I wana kill something that will make me feel really proud!....... like a forerunner. But the comment about the boy being on Requiem was something that i had considered. The only place we know about in the campaign so far is Requiem, and i dont know if there will be any traveling between other planets. I assume its on Requiem because in the campaign trailer, Cortana said she wouldnt let them leave whatever planet they were on, which is probably Requiem from what we know. You make a good point though, thanks for responding I probably should've worded my theory better. I greatly assume the Didact is on Requiem, but that doesnt mean the Librian isnt on it as well. i am about to edit my original post and add in a new theory that i just thught of. I havent thought through my theories completely yet, i just wanted to make a starting point for others and hear what they have to say

a user with the name NicoPorcaro started a topic with a link to a very interesting piece of concept art. This picture has changed my theories about the plot of halo 4 and has made me question all of the information that we know about Requiem. Here is the pic and the caption that was below it on the link. Caption: This last image was for a concept in which an ancient technology sitting undisturbed for eons is finally discovered by a young native boy. I have come up with a new theory but it is questionable and i wanted to compare this concept art to a few other pics. If you dont know the plot of Halo Wars, part of the game takes place on a forerunner shield world. In that world, there is dormant forerunner fleet that was discovered by the covenant. The covenant had to kidnap a human to activate The Apex which revealed the fleet(this will be important later) here is a picture of the forerunner fleet(you would see more resemblence if the wings werent sticking out on the tops) I dont know if anyone else sees any resemblence but i do. The structures in the first picture also resemble things in other halo 4 concept art. There is one pic with chief standing next to what seems to be a docked forerunner ship. The other just has structures that seem seem to resemble those of the concept art that i posted at the top chief by docked ship similar looking structures I see a lot of resemblences but im not sure about anyine else. I have have also come up with two possible theories based off the new concept art and some of these pictures. First theory: when chief is knocked out by the prometheans at the end of the campaign demo, he is brought to the Didact. The Didact wants to activate the forerunner fleet and he needs a human to do so. Chief is captured and used to activate the fleet and the Didact leaves Requiem in search of the Librarian. Or he could try to destroy Requiem because there are now humans inside of it. Maybe the "anceint evil that awakens" isnt the Didact. Maybe it is the forerunner fleet that gets under the control of a rampant AI? Second theory: in the caption under the concept art, it says a native boy. If this picture is on Requiem, that means that humans have been living inside of the shield world. Maybe the didact isnt on Requiem, and it is actually the Librarian? The Librarian could've escaped to shield world and preserved humans when the rings were fired. There could be a colony of humans living under the Librarian on Requiem. Then eventually, Guilty Spark and the Didact enter Requiem and find the Librarian in part of the campaign. But the problem with this theory is, why wouldnt the prometheans have killed the native humans by now?? Are they programmed to protect the humans? i know my theories have a few holes in them but this is just a statring point from this new piece of concept art. Please leaves responses that could correct my theories or leave your own new theories if you want i will possibly add on new theories as replies under this topic

ya, i think this will eventually play a role in the halo games or maybe a novel will come out. i never expected to have anything to do with the forerunners when i started playing the halo games, but here we are, knowing they will be in halo 4! maybe the same will happen with the flood/precursors in halo 5 or 6.......all we can do is wait

you just wont stop hating will you?? the problem here is your xbox. dont expect 343 to fix it for you

his pride got him killed.......if he wasnt yelling at a dead elite, he could've turned around......too late I like Jun, no one seems to like the sniper with the sick Russian accent

if you lag so much, get a new modem. problem solved

will there be invasion with no elites in war games??

......wait.......will there be invasion in halo 4 with no elites?

i'm going to try both also. I really want to try Infinity Slayer.........my killing sprees will finally pay off.........and become killing frenzies!

ok. thanx man. That solves all my concerns

i saw the forge video and one Longbow one, they looked great! Forge has made extreme improvements and the gameplay on Longbow looks like a lot of fun

Most people have probably seen infinity slayer gameplay videos, and i thought of something that could possibly cause problems protaining to the weapon drops. I dont know if all of the halo 4 maps will have outdoor environments, but what if you are in an indoor area of a map and and try to call in a weapon drop on your location? Would the weapon drops come through the ceiling or not come at all? Would you have to call them in an outdoor area?If the drops cant be done in indoor areas, its probably a matter of being realistic. but what if a map is entirely indoors? If anyone can answer anyof my questions, it would be good to know details about this subject

I think by environment they mean a a completely seperate map. Instead of just one type of terrain, we can build probably build in 3 different and distinct environments with different terrain

its seriously about time time they made some sort of live action halo series(i wanted a movie, but a few episodes works too)

thanks man. Another great showing of the amazing halo 4........ and guys rule!

i am getting a little tired of all this back and forth, and theories being thrown at each other. lets think about this.......the flood wont even be in halo 4 and the precursors are extinct. This means that no information about these topics will be revealed in halo 4, so nothing will get solved. This information could come in handy for halo 5(if it involvethe flood), but nothing is getting done here. And now that i think about it......... this topic probably doesnt have anything to do with halo 4. emer9ency ca11, i know you started this topic and i find it EXTREMELY interesting, but the fact is, this wont get us anywhere with halo 4. I dont mean this in any offensive way, im just trying to speak the truth about this whole topic
