Rtas 'Vadamee Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Frankie said during E3 (which you would have had to see live to know about) That "no purple" will be in halo 4, frankie then said " you won't need to play the new trilogy to get this one" so let me break that down. The covenant used purple as a color pattern thus any time we saw purple we thought of the covenant, there are also people (most people) that call any of said raves about of it "covenant" instead of their actual names. Thus by him saying "no covenant" he was saying that has a whole without going off an naming each race that was part of it. And we also know by the end of halo 3 that the covenant is disbanded; so the only meaning frankie could have for that is the single races of such "covenant". He then said "you won't need to understand the last trilogy to get this one" so even if the "no purple" were to be ignored (like some people are trying to) this line still stands. If any of the covenant races were to show up then that would be confusing for a new player and they wouldn't get how that ties in to the story being told (neither would i). NOw if they were to show up as an easter egg or something that is a ok. But we have clear confirmations that the "current" story will not be carried over. But i do have a spark for you "covenant" fans. The only races that could be in the trilogy without being a Drag are the lekgolo "hunters" and the engineers, why? The forerunners created the engineers thus it would be fine to see some, The legkolo were also around during the time of the forerunners but they saw them as just worms (which is all they were at that point). That being said those are the two "covenant" races people should be hoping are in. Now to the UNSC ---- Now Halo 3 ends december 11 2552 in which the covenant is disbanded (point 1) and the chief is floating in space declared MIA. Now Halo Legends Origins takes place roughly 4 years later nearing cortana's 7th birthday and due to the nature of AIs being deleted around that age because of ramapancy that puts halo 4 roughly 5 years after halo 3. so lets break this down January 2553 -chief is still missing (evolutions iqbal's letter) September 2556- A musical is held for the missing hero chief sometime after November- Cortana talking in origins happens, they are still missing 2689- This is the year the encylapedia (spelling its early) states the chief is still MIA if the other marketing sources were to be ignored (which they shouldn't due to a monument being built) 2607- a monument to the chief is being built for his service to mankind, he is still MIA (and unless something un-heard of happens cortana is long "dead" by this point"). 2610- The monument is completed and chief is still MIA So all things accounted for chief is still MIA 50 years after the war in which unless cortana is put into a body or forerunner upgraded she will be "dead". the encyclopedia states that he is still MIA atleast until 2689. Now to stop a cop-out i for see being brought up; Halsey eulogy means nothing despite halopedian saying "they got out". There are several movies and shows in which somebody dead (desparate housewives), nonexistant,etc narrates the story. So until we have confirmation that they got out we know nothing. The events of Primoodium which tie in with halo 4 Glasslands podcast Now it is 100 percent clear that the neither the UNSC or Covenant will be in halo 4 if not the entire trilogy. source:http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=63643680 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 So that means flood or forerunners, or a new type of enemy 343 have made up on the spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentCO1 Posted August 7, 2011 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 Well Elites aren't part of the Covenant anymore, and neither were Grunts and Hunters, right? So they can still be in. And I think Frank was exagerating on the part about anybody could jump in the game and understand it. They said it will tie strongly into the Halo story and take a lot of understanding. So you have to know about the Universe to understand it. And I can't remember where, but I heard Halo 4 took place in 2553, only like a year after he went missing.

SPARTAN 117 Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 i wouldnt go by old marketing sources for dates because i doubt that 343 will build their story timeline around dates appearing on small mass marketing projects. I would safely assume that the events of h4 occur within 4 or 5 years after h3 but probably no later, which is why i agree that the covenant will be a lost and ultimately disbanded organization, but dont reject the possibility of the world chief approached being some world other than a huragok or lekgolo world simply because of their assumed age. nobody knows where chief drifted, so it will be up to 343 to show us what to expect in halo 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the UNSC is not present then forget human weapons,Maybe Human weapons excist only in the first and second level but that will be all.

Dean PHD Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I agree with those that are saying no covies or UNSC. I think we are going to see all new stuff going forward. That means new enemies but also new allies. There are some good story ideas in the Halo 4 threads. Check there for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
