The Halo 4 Thread

The gunship does indeed remind me of a Hind.. Good thing that's my favourite Soviet-made helicopter.

Seconded.

All I see is Robots.

He (along with many others) believes that the Prometheans in Halo 4 are the Warrior-Servants in the Forerunner books. That the in-game Prometheans are Forerunners.

Not with the size of those arms. Unless they shrunk to the size of grunts or smaller, they aren't forerunner. Oh yeah, there's also the funny thing that all the design videos talked about them as being robots.
Shittly designed robots albeit. I seriously want to punch all the writers that 343 has hired, and the dumbass who was playing with his Bionicles.

Of course, if you had paid attention to "Cryptum", you'd know that the Forerunners are able to transfer the consciousnesses of beings into machines. We found out that that was how 343 GS was created. Chakas, wasn't it?

The Didact had done the same thing with his children, except that he put them into War Sphinxes.

That certainly couldn't result in insanity. At all.

Of course not. 343 survived for eras upon eras until NEVER going insane when the Chief showed up. He simply operated by a different set of moral values/programming protocols.

I like how you always make a non-quoted post after being beaten in an argument.

But Guilty Spark was insane, he was more Rampant than Cortana.

Also, one of my friends recently tried to convince me that Cortana was made by the forerunners. I laughed him out of the party.

In her past life before the UNSC discovers her? yea, the Forerunners did creates her.

Sorry man, but the Prometheans are defense AIs not Forerunners. The Forerunners left behind their tech during their war against the Flood. According to the book, some of the Forerunners manage to escape the firing of Halos, they went into the shield worlds & left the galaxy when the firing ceased.

In the Greg Bear books, the Prometheans ARE Forerunners. I believe that the book was made canon by the Halo wizards as well. Therefore, the Prometheans (in-game) might either be actual Forerunners (unlikely) or, as you say, they're defense AIs. But why can they not be both? During the Forerunner era, there was a caste of people called the "Warrior-Servants", the topmost of which were given the title of "Promethean". Now that the Forerunner Era has passed, why can't their creations be known by the same name?

Promethean refers to the soldiers of the Ecumene. Whereas Prometheans generally refer to actual living forerunners, Knights, Crawlers and Watchers are robots.

Technically, Promethean refers to the top rank of the Warrior Servant caste (the final mutation). It's a rank.

Hey,has anyone else seen any of the new (added a day or two ago) Halo 4 stuff on Waypoint?

Also is it just me,or does the new pelican gunship remind anyone of the MI-24 Hind?

I just went from hating this game to going to preorder it. This makes up for the elites.

I can't wait to play infection now!

Pic: Yes! Both are awesome.

Infection: ...Glorious, it will be so much fun.

[North Calaveras]

yeah im going to buy halo 4 from what ive seen, to many goodies in one package to pass up

Infection: Wow im impressed, now they have infected models, fucking sweet.(though that would have been a good mode for flood models to have been used but whatever.

EDIT: wait, from what im hearing they are infected flood spartans.... i love you 343 already

*Puts on white glove and slaps twice for spoken heresy against the Great Beings.

Halo keeps looking better and better if you ask me, though I love going on Waypoint and seeing complainers get laughed at for the whole "343 sucks, Halo is ruined forever!"

Infection and Dominion are getting me hyped up so far.

Online multiplayer and all of the new features for it are all well and good, but I'm primarily in it for the story. It's set in a wonderful universe, filled with fantastical creatures, intricate technology, and fascinating lore. The story behind Halo is the reason I got so involved in it to begin with.

Not saying I don't like the story or anything, but I also like playing the multiplayer, and since it seems like war games is closer to the canon more than ever it completes me.

I am still trying to get Mr. Hunter to get that Falcon to the Spire in time, I treat them the same because I always make my own stories when playing, I just never mention it.

That it is. The "War Games" idea takes place on the Infinity, which is home to the new groups of Spartan IVs, which are drawn from the regular military instead of being trained from six years of age. I can't wait to see if we get to work with Spartan IVs in the Campaign.

is that why they have army, marines odsts and shit for spartans now?

because they have a "soldier" variant for the armor that looks like a spartan configuration for UNSC army soldiers.

Yes.

Spartan IV

You might be surprised at how close we are to doing just that. Minus the energy shields, that is.

EDIT: Also, I was correct in my earlier speculation. WARNING: HEAVY SPOILERS.

^This. This right here.

Also, Crawlers with binary rifles... Like grunts with fuel rod guns.

I still don't know why they did this. It limited their options for MP, and MP doesn't need a story. TF2 made one simply for shits and giggles.

Perhaps because it makes old campaigners like me more interested in the multiplayer?

Perhaps they took the idea from RvB, who gave the multiplayer a story itself?

Maybe it was simply for "shits and giggles"?

It doesn't matter much to me; it just makes the multiplayer look all the more appetizing.
