References to previous halo games

[Dr. Halsey]

Did anyone else catch any references in halo 4 campaign to older games?

There are at least some in Cortanas lines.

 

" Dont make a girl a promise you can't keep"(After landing)

That was pretty obvious and I gota huge Deja Vu feeling and Chief got probably too .

 

I think there was a similar reference in Cortanas line before the pelican mission but I can't remember.

 

Also when Cortana said:

"Uh I'm sorry. Did I miss orbiting Forerunner planet at some point"

"So NOW can we worry about the giant metal planet?"

 

I couldn't help but think lines of Serina from Halo Wars.

"So, am I the only one freaked out by the fact we're inside the planet?"

Well maybe that's just me but I think they have taken lot of ideas from HW in terms of story and environment. ( I even made a thread of this where I hoped they would take influence from HW yay! )

 

I haven't found any clear references to Halo Wars though.

 

Have you people found any references or anything that brings up old good halo memories?

I've noticed a few like that. Hmmm.... I keep feeling like I have one on the tip of my tongue but can't remember I'll have to get back to you on that.
