Do you guys think that there will be more types of Promethean AI enemys?
[deleted]
Types? Unlikely. However, there are at least 2 classes of Crawlers and 4 classes of Knights. Then we have the yellow variants and blue variants.
So far it looks like we’ve seen the main classes of the promethean,anything else that hasn’t been confirmed are pretty much just bigger Knights and bigger crawlers.
somebody mentioned previously that 343 had referred to the Prometheans as Chess pieces with the knights being knights the Watchers being bishops and the Crawlers being rooks. If all of the chess pieces are to be filled in I think we can hope to see an enemy that will represent the Pawn class along with Two main bosses for the king and queen.
btw 100th post yay…

That’s a little… disappointing.

That will be interesting to see how it plays out. And congrats on the 100th post!
I’ve heard there is 7 total Promethean types:
- Crawler
- Watcher
- Knight
- Unknown
- Unknown
- Unknown
- Unknown
for classes, so far there is at least:
- Standard Crawler
- Sniper Crawler
- Heavy Crawler
- Standard Watcher
- Standard Knight
- Blue Knight
- Black Knight
- Knight Lancer

Sounds like a piece of heaven and plausible.
343 let slip something about a boss being on the 2nd mission (IIRC).

What about the heavy Crawler and Knight Lancer?

I’m thinking the final boss or just a really hard enemy that’s larger and stronger than a knight; maybe on the scale of a hunter or perhaps larger but still just as agile as a knight.
a queen could be something like a super sentinel or something.
did it smell of irrelevancy?
From what it seems, there’ll be a satisfying amount of varient enemies to blow away, so I’m pretty good so far.

There is indeed a magazine which said the new enemy class contained 7 different types, yes, but I’m starting to wonder if it’s real.

There have been confirmed to be 7 new enemy types, and there are only 6 kinds of Chess pieces, so I’m guessing that the 7th new enemy type either belongs to the Covenant/Insurrection/Flood or does not correspond to any chess piece. Anyone find it funny that Knights, which are much stronger than Watchers or Crawlers, are ranked as a lower chess piece than them?
Pawns: Sentinels?
Knights: Knights
Bishops: Watchers
Rooks: Crawlers
Queen: Promethean equivalent to Hunter?
King: Promethean equivalent to Scarab? Or just a boss? (Didact or Precursor?)
7th new Enemy: New Covenant species? Insurrectionists as enemies? Flood return?

fixd.
also, @PlAyEr1JcTr, Sentinels as the Pawns seem very likely. Sentinels better be in Halo 4. It wouldn’t be a Forerunner Installation without them!
