Halo 4 begins on July 20th, 2557 <ref name="IGN 4/7/2012"/><ref name="Game Informer May 2012">'''Game Informer''': ''May 2012''</ref>, four years and seven months after the armistice ending the [[Human-Covenant War]]. Cortana, laying silent for years, notices that the ship's intruder alarms have activated and attempts to wake John-117 from [[Cryo chamber|cryo-sleep]]. Cortana notifies him that in his sleep, she rewrote the firmware of his MJOLNIR Mark VI armor, upgrading the HUD, armor capabilities, while giving a new overall appearance. With alarms ringing and the intruders spreading to multiple decks, John slips Cortana's chip back into his neural interface and upon opening a sealed hatch, unpressurized rooms rip him from the deck and send him into the vacuum. After climbing up an elevator shaft, suddenly, a [[Sangheili]] swordsman comes charging at the Spartan. After a brief close quarters engagement with the soldier, he kicks him down the shaft to his death. John questions the AI construct on why his once-formidable allies have attacked them, to which she has no answer. After fighting the Sangheili and their "repatriated" [[Unggoy]] subordinates, John makes his way to the aft observation deck, viewing a large [[Covenant fleet]] surrounding the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' while multiple boarding crafts dock with the heavily damaged aft section of the frigate.

Fighting through numerous Covenant hunting parties, Master Chief is attacked by advanced Forerunner defense drones which Cortana identifies as Prometheans. Evading or destroying pursuit, John attempts to warn the approaching {{UNSCShip|Infinity}} of the dangerous artificially-induced gravity field that had caused the ''Forward Unto Dawn'' to crash.
