Talk:Halo 4

Legendary Planet

Ok so we see that at the end of Halo 3 that the Forward Unto Dawn (what's left of it) is heading towards a unidentified planet. We have an article about the planet. In the Halo 4 trailer, we see that John is awake and they are now REALLY close to it. The Halo 4 article should list the Unidentified Legendary Planet as the location for the time being.

Nope not Yet we don't know for sure if it's the legendary planet "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 14:31, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

For all we know the FuD flew straight past the planet and found its way into a space station for the remnants of the Covenant.-- Forerunner 14:34, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Ok let's look at it this way. The Foward Unto Dawn is floating towards, what we have labeled it the Legendary Planet at the end of Halo 3. You're suggesting that by possibly the power of God, that the ship stops floating towards it and heads towards a completely different Forerunner looking planet. EchostreamFanJosh

I'm making a point - we have no idea how long it's been since Halo 3. I also don't recall seeing a "Forerunner looking planet" - I saw a beam of light coming out of an object that we see nothing else of.-- Forerunner 14:47, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

There's a bunch of floating things, so Onyx anyone? -Chairsenses

Onyx wasn't made of rock, so no.-- Forerunner 15:33, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

since we don't have any confirmation that it is so then well leave it as such "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 14:43, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Reveal trailer

Why no link to YouTube or another site? I'd do it myself, but I'm sure there's a reason for it.--The All-knowing Sith'ari 14:37, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Jetpack

Oaky, we see that Master chief has what appears to be a jetpack on. How? Does this mean that he's been out of the Cyrotube Before? The first topic states that he might have flown past the original planet. What if he did go there, and got jetpacks there? --Jedizora 15:14, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

The most likely explanation (to me at least) is that the MJOLNIR Mk. VI has built-in thrusters for maneuvering in microgravity ( the thrusters fold right back into the armor at the end of the trailer). I'm guessing we didn't know this before simply because the Chief never needed to use them - If I remember correctly, he's only ever been in two or three situations when he was in microgravity, and in all of those situations he was either A) magnetically (I think) attached to a hull, or B) moving with enough momentum that there really wasn't need for a thruster pack SPARTAN-347 15:17, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Maybe there was a nice shelf somewhere with spare parts?

^ That may not be far off the mark either - for all we know, maybe he woke up earlier and found a T-pack (or parts of one) lying around the ship SPARTAN-347 15:34, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

He could be using a T-pack, but he seems to be using the tube-like protrusions on the back of his suit. I've always wondered what purpose those things serve. I guess we know now. --Courage never dies. 15:36, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Flood Possibility

In the statement from Waypoint it says "ancient evil" could this be hinting to the flood? "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 15:44, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Mark VII

The Mark VI Armor looks different in many places, such as the legs and the helmet. I think that he may have new armor somehow, such as the Mark VII mentioned in Dr Halseys Journal.
