Ok, so I’ve been brainstorming about what the story in Halo 4 will be like, and this is what I’ve come up with:
I think that the shield world is pulling in Master Chief because it detected a living reclaimer and detected that his vitals were low (because he was in cryo), so it was pulling him in to treat and protect him. And as for why the ship is blowing up, I have no idea.
For the new enemies I personally think that it might be the Forerunners. Why do I think this? Because I remember hearing at the Halo 4 pannel that all of the Forerunner technology that we have seen up until now has been dormant, and that we are going to see some Forerunner tech in action. Now why would the Forerunner tech be active if there are no Forerunners? I know that a lot of people have been saying that it will be Precursors, but personally I think that the Precursors are out of the question, considering that the Forerunners have been gone for 100,000 years, and the Precursors probably another 100,000. Plus it is a Forerunner sheild world, how would Precursors get there? As for why you would be fighting the Forerunners I have no idea.
Feel free to post your own theories. Also, keep discussion polite, no arguing.

I think Forerunners were actually warring with humans directly preceding the Flood Wars though. Hell, humans had even developed a cure for the flood and the forerunners destroyed it (although I think unintentionally). Humans were the second most advanced alien race after the forerunners before the Halo rings were fired and life had to start over, which probably explains why the forerunners chose humans to be their heirs, the “Reclaimers”. However old grudges do have a way of spanning numerous generations so we never know what may happen. Personally I think the main enemy will be the Flood because it is an enemy that any sentient life cannot possibly defeat unless they found a cure to sterilize it, I also think that there will still be some pockets of loyalist Covenant too.

Well, I’m sure there will be flood. And maybe with the Covenant. And I have also read Cryptum.

But, it does mean that they are disorganized and without a capitol. Also, I do agree with you about the quest givers part.
No the Forerunners and humans had a war. Then I think the Forerunners split up humanity and sent them too four different planets, and de-evolved us to help us start over again. But the humans destroyed the Flood cure because we hated the Forerunners so much. NameBright - Coming Soon

According to Cryptum, the only planet was Erde-Tyrene (earth).

I haven’t read any of the Forerunner books yet, I was just going off what the Wiki page said!

Four different spicies, one planet.
"Aftermath
Once humanity was utterly defeated, the tragedies of the war convinced the Didact and his fellow Prometheans that using the Halo Array, like the destruction of humanity, would violate the Mantle. They Prometheans opposed and forestalled the construction of the Halo Array. The Prometheans succeeded in delaying the Array’s activation for thousands of years.
The defeat was disastrous for both humanity and the San 'Shyuum. The victorious Forerunners decided to dismantle every piece of human civilization, causing the species to regress to a pre-technological state. In addition, they executed many humans for starting the conflict, seeing them as naturally violent and aggressive. Because of this cataclysmic event, humanity’s culture splintered amongst their collective species, including the chamanush, the b’ashamanush, k’tamanush, and the hamanush.[8] Even ten thousand years later, many Forerunners considered this intraspecies fragmentation to be a form of punishment.[2] Humanity’s defeat affirmed Forerunner hegemony over the entire galaxy, as one of the few powers capable of competing against it was utterly defeated. However, the destruction of humanity set the stage for the return of the Flood and the disastrous Forerunner-Flood war, as the Forerunners were unprepared to deal with the Flood and that the humans have destroyed every single piece of evidence about the parasite and the cure they invented (possibly as a final act of vengeance). The Didact later regretted the complete destruction of humanity, as he was unaware that the Flood was the reason for humanity’s aggression against the Forerunners.
The San ‘Shyuum home system was placed under quarantine with the Forerunner Fortress-class vessel Deep Reverence orbiting the species’ homeworld, Janjur Qom; access outside the system blocked by a quarantine shield. When the Librarian attempted to index the San 'Shyuum during the early stages of Forerunner-Flood war, the San 'Shyuum mistook her intentions and rose in revolt against the Forerunners. Master Builder Faber took this opportunity to test Halo’s effects on living beings on the San 'Shyuum homeworld, which surpassed all expectations. This genocidal act led to the near extinction of the San 'Shyuum; it also led to Faber’s removal from power and his subsequent trial on charges of treason against the Mantle."
