I believe I know what the first level of Halo 4 will be

Games Other Halo
1

If you go and re-watch the Making of video again you can see at one point it shows an unfinished animation of the Master Chief using both his hands to open a heavy human style door and stumbling over some pipes. This lead to be believe that the first mission of Halo 4 will be John and Cortana getting out of the fragment of the Forward Unto Dawn while she tears apart.

Thoughts?

EDIT: If you think about this it also runs parallel with the first level of Halo 1. Considering this is 343i’s first Halo game and the first in a new trilogy the similarities may not be by accident.

2

Not exactly saying anything new there OP, but that has been the prevailing theory since the beginning.

3

How did I not think of that?

There’s a good chance you’re right.

4

Just using 343’s words the campaign is mostly finished.

However with all that’s going down I don’t believe anything they say after their failed press release this week.

The level in the BTS or ViDoc is un-finished, I would guess it is older footage or they are running it in a un-textured viewport.

Very possible…
But hopefully it’s when the FUD is still in space, since Halo 1/2/Odst started in space and technically Halo 3 to since you freaking fell out of outer space.

Just added a small tidbit to the OP.

7

i thinked of that to, cause it can be the mission trying to get out of the ship when they arrive, or it can be just a mini part of a movie

I tried to post this in an earlier thread, but it got buried by an avalanche of stupidity and nobody noticed it.

In the animation, by looking at chief’s fingers and wrists, you can tell he’s in the new (presumably Mk. VII) armor. Which wouldn’t add up with him being in the Dawn. Thoughts?

9

You guys are forgetting. In that scene his wrists match that of his new armor. Which might confirm he gets it even BEFORE going out of the wreckage of the FOD onto the Legendary Planet.

And he will get it on…how exactly?

That’s what we’ve been calling it since the end of Halo 3, since it is part of the Legendary Ending.

I thought it had a name though?

EDIT: Its Sigma 7, or so says the Wiki.

What did they fail on?

The Sigma 7 named was from a false rumor that Frankie called -Yoink- on, or in his words bullshirt, since he doesn’t like cursing apparently.

lets see if they answer that on the bulletin when the next one comes.

I picture an experience similar to the PoA in CE, but I mean only similar.

In short:

I believe the FuD will sucked into the Librarian’s planet’s via artificial gravity-well and proceed to break up as its orbit degrades.
As the Chief makes his way through the FuD to get to the last available Pelican, he notices both the Infinity and [redacted] in orbit around the planet (the same planet that housed the last meeting of the Monitors…). Curious why Cortana didn’t wake him sooner, he shrugs off the thought as he activates the Pelican just in time to have the FuD disintegrate around him.
Due to the Chief’s inability to land a vehicle beyond a controlled crash, and the Pelican being unable to recover from the orbital decent’s speed given to it, the Pelican skips off of a now very apparent Forerunner skyscrapper, off the side of a mountain and straight into a giant fresh water lake the size of Texas.
At the bottom of the lake, the Chief and Cortana disembark on yet another discovery, they look up in awe of what once came before.

Sigma 7 was a hoax.
