I’m really tired of correcting people when they say “I think Elites and Brutes will have a war and be part of Halo 4” because everyone who knows Halo knows that 343 Industries said they are introducing a brand new enemy in the new Halo Trilogy. That means there could be APPEARENCES of old enemies/friends, but they will not be the main antagonists or other main protagonists. It’s Chief, Cortana, and hopefull a super cool Forerunner/Precursor enemy/ally.
P.S.-Check out my other forum comments and my awesome theories which i have researched because i am a super nerd with nothing to do but my schoolwork and HALO!!! 2012!!!
I think that there should still be some covenant because in one of the stories in halo evolutions book there are still some jackals fighting some humans and this story takes place after halo 3
There was this which is on Bungie Threads as well as other sites showing info givin out to retails:
(It is a bit long)
"Halo 4 returns players to the story of the Master Chief and Cortana in the events that follow the conclusion of Halo 3. Players will experience an all new story and introduce a new roster of enemies and weapons to the Halo experience. Set against the top secret Forerunner planetoid known to ONI as Sigma 7, players will encounter a dark new foe and unravel more of the mysteries behind the forerunners and the Office of Naval Intelligence.
At the heart of Halo 4 is a stronger focus than ever before behind story telling and player choice. Players will be offered an unprecedented level of customization and a narrative experience never before seen in a first person shooter. On a technical level Halo 4 pushes the boundaries of the action genre by incorporating larger battlefields than ever before and players will experience conflicts that seamlessly span land, sea and space.
Halo 4 will expand the series trademark arsenal of weapons and vehicles beyond any other title so far. Players can expect fan favorites to return along with new additions. Halo 4 will also feature the revolutionary new Arsenal Improvisation Mechanics that allow for menu-free, creative customization of weapons and vehicles in the heat of combat. Players will take their fight to a new level by dynamically tailoring their weapons and vehicles to suit any situations or enemies."
At the moment it seems 343 are focusing on the new and improved story and weapons system (of which the new AIM mechanic is only mysteriously alluded to) but there was some video shown that fills in some of the gaps. Halo 4 is set on a Forerunner planet that has an inner and outer surface that provides two distinct styles. The outside is very industrial and features a wide range of hostile Forerunner tech and AI. The video showed space combat here. The inside of the planetoid is hollow and is sectioned off in to many tiers/bands (almost resembling Halo rings) that feature a myriad of natural environments not only resembling earth’s but many other alien terrains. The video featured combat across a multitude of environments from space to mountains, plains and oceans. Presumably, ONI had been top secretly researching the planet for some. There are UNSC forces on the planet but they look really degraded and disorganized and it was implied that they may be divided into factions and warring with each other. At one point we see a heavily modified warthog that has had the wheels replaced two kind of anti gravity devices. At another point the Chief is clearly sprinting which possibly implies a return of armor abilities. There was no sign of the Flood or the Covenant but at the very end of the trailer the ‘dark new threat’ was hinted at. The video ends with the Chief standing at a dark cave entrance and from within can be heard some menacing gurgling and grunting. Cortana says “They’re coming back … and there’s a LOT more of them this time”, the Master chief then readies a new weapon that looks like a cross between a rocket launcher and a Needler and it focuses on his helmet and visor and a number of strange digital effects ripple across his visor then the videos ends.

Where exactly are you getting all of your information from? Can you provide a link to this video you’re talking about?
I hope there is new enemies because if there isnt what will we fight ??
It will probably take them a few years to find Chief and Cortana just as the UNSC would so i dont think there is any back-up which is bad D:
But hopefully 343i will surprise us
I don’t care what anyone says, I want the Flood back as a background enemy. Halo’s 1-3 they were always in the background causing trouble. It wouldn’t be the same without them.

I love everything that this says. It sounds really interesting and legit but bs angel already said it wasnt real. Kinda disappointing. That AIM thing wouldve been interesting

Bungie said the same thing about leaks for Reach even though in the end most were real

That is true. Like the video with the spartan laser? Dang if that article is legit i think Halo is about to get crazy! AIM??? Idk kinda tacky but it could work. But it doesnt sound like Halo. More like Battlefield. Also the rippling of Master Chiefs visor can only mean one thing. Its disappering to reveal his face!! Dam. But idk it sounds too wack
