Information That has possibly been overlooked?

Halo Grasslands Blurb

So i was just checking this out, and i think it quite possibly gives an insight to Halo 4’s story? Ive been out of the loop with the community for awhile now so dont know what is now rumour, fact, or denied lol, but last time i heard there was speculation the planet chief is heading towards is Onyx? Has this been denied yet, or is it still possible? If so, this could mean right from the bat we could be looking for Halsey as chief, which is a reunion i would love to see, for both the interaction between her and Chief, but also Cortana, who has been through a lot as an AI since leaving Halsey on Reach…

Also the spartan team Halsey is with, could hopefully include Jun =). A character i’d like to see return…

Halsey being in the future games is quite probable i think, as in the Halo Fest panel when asked about voice actors returning, they kind of avoided the question directly, saying “theyve been working with Jen Taylor on… something” lol… what else could they be working on with her…

Lastly, its possible w e will be fighting Elites again at least, as theres a Civil war going on with them, as well as a Human colony about to strike at Earth, so seeing a temporary alliance with Human insurgents and these Elites the Arbiter is trying to sort out could be pretty cool…

People are STILL calling it Grasslands? Ugh.

It’s been confirmed that the Legendary Planet is not Onyx.

Edit: Also, it’s called Glasslands (glassed planets).

  1. Chief is not going towards Onyx.
  2. Jun isn’t with them and never was.
  3. Jen Taylor is the voice of Cortana and is in Halo 4.
  4. Fight with Elites could happen, but looks doubtful. Human rebels is another story.

just read the book. it’s a good read.

Ah sorry guys *Glasslands lol. Makes a lot more sense. And yeah i wasnt to sure wether it had been confirmed or not, if she is stuck on Onyx though, uncovering ancient tech etc, this could hopefully still relate strongly to Halo 4.

@DecepticonCobra
Sorry, but how do you know Jun isnt with them? has there been info on what happened to him after he escorted Halsey off reach? And yes i know Jen will (hopefully) be voicing Cortana, but if you watch the video the way they go about answering the question, it suggested Jen has been doing more than just voicing Cortana, aka hopefully also Halsey.
And yeah im not sure about the Elites, however if the Arbiter doesnt sort out his civil war by the end of Glasslands then its certainly possible.
And as for Human Rebels, this would be a bold move for 343i, as bungie really didnt want us fighting Humans. Its a move i would love though, fighting against humans with Human tech would be rather challenging and new…

> just read the book. it’s a good read.

I will, but its not out yet? It comes out this month doesnt it?

Well, it’s been out for a good 2-3 months in the US and the UK.

My friend and I were just talking about this yesterday.
So yeah it makes a lot of sense if Master Chief is heading to Onyx.

That is where Halsey and Jun were stationed.
Frankie has made it very clear that one Reach spartan survived (Jun).

Also, Frankie said in an interview that so far, all of the Forerunner structures that we have seen have been long since inactive, and it would be interesting to see what they are like when active.

As far as I’ve heard, on Onyx, the buildings are made out of Sentinels, correct?
That could be a really cool addition to the game, and makes sense with what Frankie said about the buildings being active and alive.

Only time shall tell though.

Ah, yeah i just looked it up again and yep, came out last year. looks like im gna have to get my read on

Because I read the damn book and he isn’t in it.

> And yes i know Jen will (hopefully) be voicing Cortana, but if you watch the video the way they go about answering the question, it suggested Jen has been doing more than just voicing Cortana, aka hopefully also Halsey.

And this is implied how? Provide some evidence because I highly doubt Halsey is going to have a spontaneous appearance in Halo 4.

> And yeah im not sure about the Elites, however if the Arbiter doesnt sort out his civil war by the end of Glasslands then its certainly possible.

Then it will probably be UNSC/Arbiter’s forces vs Telcam. That said, it’s still not likely given a Forerunner structure was possibly activated by a human on their homeworld of Sanghelios.

> And as for Human Rebels, this would be a bold move for 343i, as bungie really didnt want us fighting Humans. Its a move i would love though, fighting against humans with Human tech would be rather challenging and new…

Barely. With some ancient evil looming around, fighting humans would be anti-climatic. That and it doesn’t really flow with Halo’s style.

Grasslands…Really?.. facepalm

It’s not Onyx. Read Glasslands, you’ll see why.

Agreed, hopefully on monday lol. Untill then we can but only speculate. I think onyx would be a great place to go in the game, and i cant wait to see other spartans, from chiefs perspective, which it looks like could be definately probable. Theyd beter show respect haha

Too…much…ignorance! AHH explodes

@DecepticonCobra
Ok, i didnt know you had read the book, i was just asking. and as for the evidence on the possible Halsey appearance,

Halo Fest Panel

skip to about 37 minutes for the voice acting question, ull see what i mean

I know I’m a little late to this thread, but:

If you’ve read G__<mark>L</mark>__asslands, you should know that ONI Research Facility Trevelyan is the diameter of Earth’s orbit. The Legendary planet looks about the size of Earth itself, not it’s orbit. So, right there. It’s not Onyx, and I wish they would put that in the Forum Guidelines: “You may not, in any posts, suggest that the Legendary planet seen in the Halo 4 trailer is Onyx.”

Ok look, not all of us have read all the books, theyre actually really hard to come by here in NZ, so please excuse us “for our ignorance”. If you dont have something helpfull to say towards this discussion why bother posting

Dude, i said in my OP, i didnt know if it was or not, as i havnt read untill now wether it had been confirmed or denyed etc… Thank you for the information, no need to be so high and mighty about it

The Dyson sphere facility known as Kurt’s real last name, Trevelyant or something similar, used to be called onyx is under complete observation of ONI and ONI are in the process of recovering Forunner tech from inside it. It is roughly the size of Earth’s entire orbit around the sun. Chief is floating towards something other than the Trevelyant facility (Onyx)
