Halo 4, an ancient evil?

This ancient evil has gotten me wondering. What could it be? I’ve made some assumptions that they could be Forerunner, Precursor, Flood or something completely different. Down below is the link too the Halo 4 concept art trailer.

Just asking what you guys think?

The Covenant return?

Forerunners? Precursors? Flood?

My bet would be the Forerunners, to be the main foe. But you can’t really have a Halo without the Covies. I also think the Forerunners and the Flood will have a larger role and backstory.

> The Covenant return?

My best bet yes. Because Halo wouldn’t be as fun just fighting forerunners, flood, precursors or something else.

The music sounds like it belongs in a Mass Effect game. Not bad.
