== Falcon in Halo 4? ==
==Features 2==
Agreeing w/ what ''Subtank'' had [[Talk:Halo_4/Archive_3#Features_section|previously]] said, I think the new multiplayer map template could be moved to the [[Infinity (mode)]] page while we just have a concise list w/ links for the MP maps here. Don't get me wrong, the template looks great but it does look like it will get long, plus we have to take into account DLC/map packs which will make it longer. Moving it to the Infinity article would be a great way to expand that page once more multiplayer maps are revealed. Also I think the plot section at the beginning (not the actual in-game plot) should be moved to the "Development" section since its refering to how the plot was "developed". Just a thought. --'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:black; font-family: Aerial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>'''''[[User talk:Killamint|<span style="color:red">KillaEX</span>]]'''''</small>  19:04, 21 June 2012 (EDT)


I don't believe it is a good idea to jump to conclusions so quickly that the Falcon is in Halo 4. Simple concept art does not always portray accurate information. For example, this concept art shows a banshee flying around:

== Ancient evil ==


As you can tell, this is not the same banshee as seen in any of the released game play videos of Halo 4. The same goes for the Falcon. We have not seen any game play of it, therefore, it cannot be confirmed, and should not be on Halo 4's vehicle list until confirmed.
okay for those who have watched the trailers and have noticed the part where an unknown character say "I have long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer." it is obviously not didact as the symbol is clearly not his, unless its his new combined born/didact one of when his personality took over bornstellar's body at the end of cryptum but comment what you think. [[User talk:SPARTAN-225|SPARTAN-225]] 19:58, 23 June 2012 (EDT)


Didn't they release an interactive guide online that has all the vehicles listed? Just checked with it and see if it is there or not. [[User talk:TLLorax|TLLorax]] 13:46, 3 November 2012 (EDT)
Also this part in the trivia is incorrect as it is not didacts symbol,


:Falcons can be seen clearly in the background of [[:File:H4-E3-Campaign-10.jpg|this image]]. --[[User talk:Braidenvl|Courage never dies.]] 13:55, 3 November 2012 (EDT)
'The Didact's symbol also appears in the Halo 4 Cinematic Trailer, in which the icon is shown overtaking the UNSC Infinity's monitors while a wave of orange light scans throughout the ship. The icon is later seen turning over in the end of the trailer, superimposed by the text "An ancient evil awakens" while an unknown voice is heard saying "I have long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer.'
would someone be able to delete this part as the symbol is not his, you can clearly see the difference in each other when you look at didacts halopedia page and with some clear analysis of the symbol in the trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=th6TZbMj2NQ] watch from 0:53 and see that it is different from this [http://www.halopedian.com/File:Didact.png]as the vertical lines connect to the outer circle in the trailer when didact's one doesn't and plus the symbol is upside down from didact's [[User talk:SPARTAN-225|SPARTAN-225]] 20:13, 23 June 2012 (EDT)

The Falcon is definitely not in the interactive game guide, But that might simply be because the player doesn't fly them. They might simply be in the background. [[User talk:Weeping Angel|Weeping Angel]] 20:24, 4 November 2012 (EST)
In this article under the '''Demonstration videos''' section, it says that the Prometheans are unveiled to be the "ancient evil" when in fact, Frank O'Connor says [http://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headlines/post/2012/06/13/The-Halo-Bulletin-61312.aspx#continue here] that they haven't revealed what the "ancient evil" is yet.

::I might as well add, the UH-144 Falcon, or any Falcon aircraft thereof, is not at all mentioned anywhere in the ''Halo 4'' Prima Official Game Guide. No mention of it anywhere. Just zip, zero, nada. I think we can all safely assume with complete confidence that the Falcon does not make a return. A pity, honestly, that it didn't return. Not even the AV-14 Hornet either! I liked using both of those aircraft. Banshees are nice, but I like Falcons and Hornets better. Oh well. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 17:12, 10 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330
Possible Spoilers you are warned. I believe the symbol is that of the Composer. Look at the achivement list released for Halo 4 and one of the missions is called Composer. If I'm remembering correctly the Ur-Didact said in Cryptum that the highest level of the Prometheans all got their name/title from the most noticable trait they carried, such as the Grammarian(sp) and the Didact. So could this be one of the Didacts 'generals' that was really good at composing stuff and has snapped? We don't know what any of the other Forerunners personnel symbols look like but maybe the symbols for the Classes are similiar to each other. Or maybe it is just the Bornstellar-Didact. Maybe the Composer does show up but not as the bad guy.--TLLorax
I just remembered, composer is what was used to put Chakas mind into 343 isn't. So maybe they will have to deal with the composing of living beings into a.i. bodies? --TLLorax


== After-credits speech by Didact ==
::Perhaps something kinda like: '''HALSEY(CONT'D):''' ''"An alien AI full of Human memories."''? (See my entry under "Halsey page" further down this page) [[User talk:DJenser|DJenser]] 10:16, 27 August 2012 (EDT)


It mentions in this article that the speech that the Didact gives happens following the events of Halo 4, and assumes it is him vowing further action on humanity.  After hearing it a couple of times, I am now convinced that this speech actually is from the Didact speaking to the ecumene counsel regarding is punishments to prehistoric humans in the aftermath of the Forerunner-Human war more than 100,000 years ago.  Evidence includes him citing victory (against prehistoric humans, because surely what happened at the end of Halo 4 was not a victory).  He also uses plural pronouns when referencing Forerunners, and furthermore uses "we" and "our" as if he is talking to other Forerunners, which would be unlikely in 2557.  Overall, when taking it from that context, it makes much more sense.  The article should be changed to reflect this, and should not make the assumption of saying that the Didact apparently survived based on the fact that he gives this speech. - Extron
Wait maybe it turns out Spirite(sp) of Fire from Halo Wars made it to Requiem and that is who was composed? ~~TLLorax~~


:It depends. The parts about "I stand before you" does sound like a council or trial, but the part of "We squander eons in the darkness, while they seize our triumphs for their own" sounds like after the Halos' firing. It's hard to be sure.

== Exoskeleton in 'Vehicles' section ==


Though I do admit that line is a bit harder to understand, I would still posit that the majority of the lines make much more sense under the context of the Didact before the events of Halo 4.  There are many more lines that don't make sense if he was speaking after the events of Halo 4 than lines that don't make sense if he was speaking to the ecumene council after the Human-Forerunner war.  For example, in 2557, who would be accusing him of sin? - Extron
The vehicles list has two these entries: "Cyclops Mark II" and "UNSC powered exoskeleton". Is that a mistake, or there is a second type? [[User talk:PatrickRus|PatrickRus]] 21:06, 25 June 2012 (EDT)
:I agree. I was going to make a similar post before seeing yours. I also think that the speech took place some time before the Didact was imprisoned. Since it's not 100% clear though, I think the article should be changed so that it does not make an implication one way or the other.--[[User talk:Olanmills|olanmills]] 03:51, 26 November 2012 (EST)

it does seem very likely but however if you do an analysis of what the didact says during the cutscene on the level forerunner he not only talks to the chief, he also talks to the librarian, well parts of his little speech is directed to her. So what the didact says during the last scene of halo 4 may be before or after the events, we do not know but we can only speculate, we may find out in later forms of media or will have to wait till halo 5 [[User:SPARTAN-225|S225]] 01:03 27th November 2012 (PST)

Shouldn't we now have a page for the ''Halo 4'' Prima Official Game Guide, since it has already come out in stores? I got my copy at Wal-Mart for 10x4, a limited collector's edition. I did see some regular ''Halo 4'' Prima Official Game Guides for 25. But I assume you all must already know this. So should we now include a new article for the game guide, too? Seeing as I own a copy, I should be the one to write the article, but I'm honestly not sure I'd do a very good job of it. If anyone else also owns it besides myself could write it, then all the better, I suppose. Still, if no one doesn't, or if they do, but don't want to do it, I suppose I'll have to man up and do it myself. Just be forewarned: as I've said, I might not do a very good job. --[[User:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] ([[User talk:Xamikaze330|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|contribs]]) 20:36, 11 November 2012 (EST)Xamikaze330

I think the article would be better presented to readers and editors if we were to move (and add future) Spartan Ops content to the [[Spartan Ops]] article. This would improve the Spartan Ops article by providing more relevant information on the characters, locations, events, and what-not to readers. For this article, we could include something like "For a complete list of features of Spartan Ops, please visit [[Spartan Ops]]" at the beginning and/or end of the Features section. — <span style="font-size:14px; font-family:Arial;">[[User:Subtank|<span style="color:#FF4F00;">subtank</span>]]</span>  21:31, 4 February 2013 (EST)
Wich roughly translated tells that a new skin for the assault rifle and for the armor are included into the LE (the skin name seems to be "Prime"), and also a new armor is shipped with that, the "Recruit Armor", and a "Prime" Emblem too. For the avatar there are the cryo-tube and a recruit armor. Sorry for the bad english, but i don't speak it as Motherlanguage

*---she’s recovering, we that all ---
::At present there are no plans for another season of Spartan Ops on the 360. When season 2 does come, it will be in ''Halo 5'', not ''Halo 4''. Because the system won't be backwards compatible, it would essentially require the same effort as porting it to the PC, which would divert manpower away from the next ''Halo'' title, or else require them to use a third-party studio to do the job. The two consoles will also use different versions of Xbox LIVE, meaning online play won't cross platforms. This would effectively split the community as early adopters switch to the new console, while others continue to play on the 360. 343 has already shown they don't like doing this, which is why they chose to use ''Halo: Reach'''s multiplayer for ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''. So, short answer: No. There has been no information on any ''Halo 4'' re-release, and in my opinion, that's because there won't be one, at least not any time soon.--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 21:02, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

Has it been confirmed that Spartan Ops won't be coming back on 360? The way I understood it was that Spartan Ops was going to take up the time between the games and the games were going to come out every two years. So if that is accurate there is all the time between now and fall of next year for season two and maybe even a third to come out if second season comes out this fall and season three in the summer then four five and six can fill the gap between Halo 5 and 6.

*---their weapons raised, turning---
:[http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/03/28/The-Halo-Bulletin-32813.aspx The Halo Bulletin 3.28.2013]: ''"There is no “Season 2” of Spartan Ops scheduled at the moment, but rest assured the story of Crimson, the Infinity and those characters and events is far from over. - Frank"''. They really wrapped things up nicely/wrote themselves into a corner by destroying Requiem, and with it nearly all of the in-game environments. They'd need to start from scratch for a new season, setting up a whole new location for the conflict. Any time they spend on that is time not spent on ''Halo 5'', and they've already got a pretty tight deadline on ''5''. Remember that Bungie had 3 full years between their proper installments (not including ''ODST'', which reused the engine and assets from ''3''). If we're correct, and the next ''Halo'' is scheduled for Q4 2014, that means 343 is being asked to create a whole new game on a whole new console in only 2 years. That's a pretty tall order. That's why I think they pushed out the map packs so quickly. The last ''Halo 3'' map pack was released two years after the game. ''Reach'''s Anniversary pack was 14 months after the game. Yet 343 released all 3 of ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s packs in just 5 months. I believe that's because they immediately started on ''Halo 5''. I'm not saying definitively that there will be no ''Halo 4'' on the Xbox One, or that there will be no second season of Spartan Ops for ''Halo 4''. I'm just saying, "Don't hold your breath."--[[File:Emblem 1.jpg|20px|bottom]][[User:Rusty-112|<span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">''' Rusty'''</span><span style="font-size:13pt;color:red;">'''-'''</span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:13pt;color:blue;">'''112'''</span>]] [[Halopedia:Administrators|<span style="color:red; font-family:Arial">'''''Admin'''''</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Rusty-112|<font color="blue">'''comm'''</font>]]</sup> 22:40, 21 May 2013 (EDT)

:I don't think that's necessary and it isn't notable enough for a mention. Not everyone "turned against" Halo 4. I myself don't necessarily hate Halo 4 as I still play it (as you can see in my "played games" under my profile) and do like it but I'm not impressed. Its more-so people turning against 343i for not putting in enough effort into Halo 4 as well as taking away features like campaign theater & scoring - which is what got me started with constantly ranting about how bad Halo 4 is.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 12:32, 30 May 2013 (EDT)

Based on a couple of things I can tell that this is defnitely a voiceover script for spoken dialog, as indicated by Roland's "V.O." line & also by the notations in red which are meant to emphasize some sort of vocal inflection; In Halsey's case, it's a tone of fascination, & in Thorne's a welling of emotion as his voice catches in this throat. I very much doubt it's from "The Thursday War", but it might not be from the H4 Campaign, either... Possibly from Spartan Ops?

Maybe the Spirit of Fire made it to Requiem and one of the crew was from New Phoenix?

Okay, so [[Explore the Floor|one of the unveiled achievements]] has just revealed the return of Hunters. However, [[Chief, Smash!|another achievement]] has also revealed that the Gravity hammer will be in the game, and that most likely means the Brutes will be as well. The Achievement requires you to kill Promethean Crawlers on the eighth mission, in case anyone is currently unfamiliar with the achievement. Because enemies like the Prometheans are restricted to campaign and Spartan Ops mode, does this mean that the Brutes will also appear those game modes? It seems highly likely to me; the gravity hammer is a highly ceremonial weapon for the Brutes, one which is reserved for their pack leaders. And unless [[Storm|this new Covenant faction]] has recently gained a fondness for Brute weaponry, I think the appearance of such a weapon in the game's campaign is credible enough for us to conclude that Brutes are in the game.--[[User:Brute Honour Guard|<span style="color:blue">Brute Honour Guard</span>]] [[Image:Bruteface.png|20px]] ([[User talk:Brute Honour Guard|<span style="color:black">"Talk"</span>]]) 00:30, 23 August 2012 (EDT)

On the recently revealed map Exile you can see a moon or planet in the sky/background so there is a good possibilty that it doesn't take place on Requiem but on the Halo shown in the main menu.

Would anyone mind if I axe the specific Mjolnir variants in the ''Equipment and technology'' section down to just include the ''MJOLNIR [GEN2]'' entry? The main page for the armor series already contains the same information as the ''Halo 4'' page as it is. {{User:Grizzlei/Sig}}

Look at the Halo 2, 3 and ODST pages, they look clean and simple, everything is neatly organized. For some reason with Reach it was decided to clump everything together and start listing things that don't even need to be listed.

Since the various classes of Storm [http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/Detail/character-enemy-renders/421563ab-3b18-4e29-8487-3dd79b627a70#imageNumber=16  have been released], should we list, under armor, the Kig-Yar combat harness with it's new storm variants? Also it seems the Storm have gone with a whole new ranking structure with their armor. The Zealot armor clearly is the Spec Ops armor, Warrior may or may not be "classic" Zealot, and Commander is Ultra armor.--[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 02:29, 22 September 2012 (EDT)
 
== Explanation for Flood appearance ==
 
So I'm a little surprised on this, but it's actually something I've been wanting for a while now. Anyway I think I know the canonical reason for the Flood's appearances. Since the UNSC found the other Halo rings, it stands to reason that they also found the flood on those installations. Note that the [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Pioneer|MJOLNIR Pioneer]] was used during the first exploration efforts of I-03. Maybe the UNSC goofed and some Spartans got infected? --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 03:22, 22 September 2012 (EDT)

== Is it implied that GEN2 is Mark VII? ==
 
From what I can tell, 343i is strongly implying that the GEN2 is really the Mark VII. Mark VI was the last of GEN1. Therefore Mark VII is the first of GEN2. All of the armor variants in Halo 4 are Mark VII, which also makes them "GEN2." --[[User talk:ADinoSupremacist|ADinoSupremacist]] 18:49, 24 September 2012 (EDT)

Fleet Command is responsible for ship deployment, mission structures, and space operations.

== Suggestion for locations ==
 
Ok the Flood are only in Halo 4 as a simulation so they're listed on the Appearances page as "Simulation Only." I suggest the same thing should be done for the locations of the multiplayer maps.
Here is what my suggestion would look like (for known locations):
 
'''Locations'''
*Requiem
'''Simulated locations'''
*Ark
*Concord
*Requiem
**Solar Power Facility

:Seems redundant and unnecessary. The locations are already listed [[Halo_4#Maps|here]]. Locations count as areas "actually" visited.

[[Talk:Halo_4/Archive_3#Features_section|We're no longer]] listing locations [[Halo:_Reach#Locations|like they were]] in ''Halo: Reach''. Also the Flood being listed seems illogical and out of place as the "real" flood don't make an "actual" appearance in the game (thus far), its just a simulation and more-so a gametype.--'''''[[User:Killamint|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Arial;">Killamint</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Killamint|<font color="Red">Comm</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Killamint|<font color="Black">Files</font>]]''''']</small> 15:41, 29 September 2012 (EDT)

Are Meglekgolo? They are just the Lekgolo military. Don't see why they would be considered a sub-species, as far as I know they are the same as other Lekgolo just in armour. Be like saying ODST are a sub-species because they wear armour. [[User talk:TLLorax|TLLorax]] 15:33, 12 October 2012 (EDT)

anyone know if theyll be back for this game? {{Unsigned|BarbarianSam}}
 
I'm sure out of the +17,000 crew aboard the {{UNSCShip|Infinity}}, you'll see some [[ODST]]'s operating somewhere in the game's storyline. [[Spartan Ops]] might feature some, who knows. However, I doubt it. Infinity has a rather large contingent of [[Spartan-IV]] super-soldiers operating within Infinity, which makes it irrelevant to even have a small unit of other special forces soldiers stationed on the ship. If there are ODST's they would be small in number, maybe a company's strength. If so, then they might serve as auxiliary units in parallel to the S-IV's mission objectives. -'''Killjax 19:55, 16 October 2012 (EDT)'''
