Sierra1117 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 In the E3 trailer for Halo 4, we got a glimpse of the new promethean enemies. In the same trailer, we also saw promethean enemies that were colored blue instead of orange. I saw this video of spartan ops, and if you around the 8:10 mark, you can see the player is fighting a blue promethean knight. This is interesting because when we first saw the blue promethean ps everyone thought there would be factions among these A.I.s but their inclusion in this video makes me wonder about their allegiance and why their colored differently.

Azaxx Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Probably ranks. Even in the covenant, there are colours at represent rank, like the Gold Zealot Elites, or orange grunt minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 well, we know the orange color in some of prometheans means that they're corrupted, but i dont understand why we are fighting both colors. Maybe there are opposing forerunners on requiem and they use promethean armies for combat......who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe there are opposing forerunners on requiem and they use promethean armies for combat......who knows I would guess either ranks, or instead of Promethean "Warrior/Servant" class AIs, what about "Builder" class AIs. FYI...Forerunners have a cast system. Manipular (young) Engineers Warrior/Servant Life Workers (Librarian for example) Miners Builders Prometheans (not the AIs but the Forerunners like the Didact) were of the highest Warrior sub-classes.

Well the prometheans aren't the covenant, so I dont think it has to do with that if their simply machines being used by forerunners. well, we know the orange color in some of prometheans means that they're corrupted, but i dont understand why we are fighting both colors. Maybe there are opposing forerunners on requiem and they use promethean armies for combat......who knows That's not for sure, we don't know if the orange means corruption, all we know is that there are two variations of the promethean classes we will be battling. Yes while the clues do lead to the Didact being "unbound" i think it's more to it then just "they're corrupted" Prometheans (not the AIs but the Forerunners like the Didact) were of the highest Warrior sub-classes. The blue enemies were still prometheans, they were just colored differently, so it wouldn't make sense if the builders were in control of them. If anything, I would expect it to be a promethean. The Didact seems likely, however I'm interested in his friend the Confirmer. In Cryptum, he was the guarDian of the San'Shyuum home world, and over time, he grew to like the species. However, he went on to guard the world by himself for 1,000 years, and deteriorated, both physically and mentally. So imagine this, you like this species, and their nice to you. But the flood causes the forerunners to activate the halo arrays, almost causing the race you like to be extinct. You are angry because what drove the forerunners to do this is to preserve the mantle, or save humanity. You then hate humanity, and wait for millenia for your chance to strike back. This would cooperate with the line "I have long dreamt of this day reclaimer." and it could mean the orange prometheans belong to him, and since the Didact has been all but confirmed to be in the game, he could be leading the blue ones, and end up fighting both the Confirmer and us for unknown reasons. Guess we'll just have to wait 'till november 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealth Pilot Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 What I ment was that perhaps there are Promethean knights, and maybe some Builder Knights....a "Knight" serving each class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra1117 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Well maybe, but I don't see this happening as 343 has said in several E3 interviews that the crawler, watcher, and knight are 3 variations of the promethean enemy class, so I think that means that they are all prometheans.

Stealth Pilot Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 The Promethean Knights, Watchers, Crawlers, etc...again are not actual forerunners. They are robots/AIs made and controlled by Prometheans. So perhaps Builders have their own set. I think you knew this...just clarifying if you did not.

Sierra1117 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 Yeah, but these a.i.s are called prometheans, probably because they're controlled by an actual promethean. But I was saying that 343 was saying that all the enemies were the promethean a.i.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legit Ewok Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Theres something plot significant to the promethean colours, http://www.giantbomb.com/news/the-skinny-on-halo-4s-campaign/4382/ , watch the video on that page, its discussed at 1:34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra1117 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I think the most widely accepted theory is that the blue prometheans were placed in charge by the Librarian of protecting requiem and making sure no one awoke the Didact. When the Didact woke up, I'm pretty sure he then "corrupted" the prometheans. That's what I've been hearing and what I think is true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 promethean color- orange- probably stronger AI's because the Didact was awakened promethean color- blue- the promethean AI's that were probably patrolling the world, were weaker but smarter. That's my guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SykoWolf Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I dont believe these are ranks,it could just be an aesthetic choice rather then a a story related one, plus it wasE3, it wasnt a final build of the game, but you never know..........

Fishy Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 blue = defense orange = corrupt if the orange were curropted I'm pretty sure they'd fight each other as well. then again it depends on how curropted they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sierra1117 Posted October 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Anyways, the prometheans were blue before Didact is awakened, and orange after, ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Element Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Anyways, the prometheans were blue before Didact is awakened, and orange after, ok? well someone started a thread about how they change color due to the time of day. orange were seen when there was light out and blue in the darkness. but i think there might be more to it. We have seen MC fight both orange and blue prometheans, but the covenant has only been seen fighting the blues.......never the orange.....

We have seen MC fight both orange and blue prometheans, but the covenant has only been seen fighting the blues.......never the orange..... Well they were trying to keep the Didact asleep when they were blue, and the Storm was trying to awake him, so it's common knowledge for them to fight each other. Once the Didact awakens and corrupts the prometheans, it would make sense for the Storm to work with the servants of their god. I can see a scene where the Didact corrupts the prometheans and both the prometheans and the Storm kneel before him. That would make him even more awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
