Kotaku spies a concept board for 4 at Halo Fest.
1st impression:
WAIT WHAT?!
Cryptum cover is actually Halo 4 concept art?!
Well: more or less.
I guess this confirms a great focus on Forerunners and the events of the Greg Bear trilogy.
Also: although the spaceship shown looks slightly human, I wouldn’t be suprised if its Forerunner. It looks vaguely like a mixture between the ships shown on Primordium’s cover and the PoA.
I like the whole vintage sci-fi look of it all by the way.
the environment concept 
One of those structures look like the structures on the Cryptum cover.
It’s true Forerunner Architecture.
The stuff you see in halo 3 is not really indicative of how large scale the Forerunners built their planets and cities, which is what I assume that articial planet is trying to convey.
Ha. The view from the inside of the sphere from the trailer looks like it’s just a giant trashcan sucking up ship wreckage scattered around space. Maybe Chief can get a new ride that isn’t cut in half and blowing up from there?
My god, they look really great!
I’m really interested to learn whether that’s a Forerunner ship or a UNSC ship. Heck, it might even belong to the Human Empire.

Exactly what I was thinking!!!
I love concept art!! I’m now very excited. Halo 4 panel come quicker.

True to that
As expected Halo 4 will be connected with the Forerunner trilogy in every way.
I expect the Precursors
Hopefully, the next Halo 4 trailer shows these stuff.

Do you know if they’re gonna have a new one at halo fest?
it sounded like there was a new trailer going on in the background!

That was the halo CEA terminal trailer…from the CEA stand.

Well Halo 4 will have a dedicated panel on Sunday so my guess is yes
