Okay, guys. I think that I may have found striking evidence to show that the Prcursors are the enemy in Halo 4.
My sources:
Wiki entry, describing the appearence.
Concept art trailer, go to 1:30 and pause. Picture matches Wiki description, right? Then go to 0:52 and see a ship that bears resemblence to this;
Halo CEA terminals: Pause at 10:33 and look at the ship.
My analysis:
Okay, so maybe excluding the ships (because they have no direct matches to Precursor ships, because they have never been described) this may well be evidence enough to, as an educated guess, expect Precursors during the campaign as an enemy.
I know, I know. But seriously, it could be an important find, even if it was found by a gazillion people before. To be honest, I don’t know, and I can’t tell you anything otherwise.
This ancient threat most likely the Forerunners, specifically the Prometheans, the elite warrior-servant class that The Didact is part of. Hinted in CE:A and as you recall, the terminals (specially the last one) Guilty Spark mentions he wished he had a squad of Prometheans to restore order to Installation 04 and that their power was so great that humans/Covenant would prefer the Flood over the Prometheans/The Didact.
The leaked cover to this months UK OXM even says the Forerunners are our new enemy in Halo 4, though strangely enough, no one is talking about the specifics.
Edit: Sorry, i didn’t mean to say i knew for sure it was The Forerunners. Just going off what’s been hinted so far. I could be wrong and it could the Precursors, who knows?
yeah, it has been posted a lot. But i don’t really see any ship at :52 on the concept art trailer… just some building type structure?
<mark>If your reading Cryptum, Minor spoiler ahead…kinda/sorda i think</mark>
Also i have only read 4 halo books(TFOR, Ghosts of onyx, Evolutions, cryptum) and i’m working on Primordium ATM, but is it mentioned or hinted that there are a lot of precursors still? Like, is it likely that we could be fighting many of them? AFAIK there was only one precursor left(but that was mentioned in Cryptum which takes place like 100,000 years before)?

Can you give me the evidence? A link, perhaps?
*Especially, not ‘specially’,‘their power’, not ‘there power’, and ‘covvies’, not ‘covies’. Grammar deserves some respect.

Well you need to read Primordium first and then you will know about a certain Precursor who may or may not be killed by the Didact…
Though there is something other details i won’t spoil on Precursors in that book.

i typed fast, finished just as quickly without a second look. You can sue me later if you want. I’ll go back to re edit mistakes but if you choose to remain offended by this, i am sorry but get over it.
My grammar is usually more solid than this but whatever. I’ll do better to respect grammar.
The ship from the terminal seems to be from Precursor origin, while the one at 52 seconds in from the concept art trailer looks like it’s a Forerunner structure.

Was that cover fake? I thought this was the OXM UK cover. I also read this months issue and the info is basically what was in GI. If that cover was real it implied Faber was the enemy and not the Forerunners as a whole.

I thought Guilty Spark was specifically referring to the Didact only?
“Without the Librarian there to temper his rage, why, these “Reclaimers” may just prefer the Flood.”
The Forerunners don’t make too much sense as an enemy. The Precursors definitely seem more likely.

As far as i know, the previous cover was more like a preview but yes the one in the link is the actual cover.
I’ve seen the leaked scans, doesn’t really go into much detail that we don’t already know.

Pay attention subtitles of the terminal i put up in my previous reply. Didact is a Promethean and Guilty Spark (in the video) would wanted a squad of them to sort things out on Installation 04. He was talking about both of them.

Forgot about the Prometheans part. I still don’t see why they would be the enemy, though. Halo 4 is set 4 years after Halo 3, and I just don’t really see why The Prometheans would want to fight Humanity.

I know it’s odd since the Didact opposed the building of the rings, so why would he be pissed off if they were destroyed? I love this mystery to be honest, keeps you wondering and guessing.
Though even if they opposed their construction in favor of shield worlds, maybe they still think it’s act of war on Humanity’s part for destroying them since they are Forerunner constructs nonetheless.

Oh okay thanks, i’ll just finish the book. I’m about 120 pages into it. I really like it, i heard a lot of people complaining about how ‘slow’ it is or whatever but i don’t think i could possibly be bored by anything that has to do with halo. The halo universe is by far my favorite over any other I can’t believe i put off reading the books for so long

It’s just people’s preference in books, don’t let negative comments detract from your reading experience.
Just so you know, it was really hard not to spoil anything but i resisted the temptation haha.
It’s good book, hope you enjoy every last page of Primordium
The Precursors or a Precursor would be a brilliant antagonist for the Reclaimer trilogy. They did create the flood after all. And wasn’t the first Gravemind supposed to be a Precursor as well?
I can’t believe i put off reading the books for so long
