I had to redo this post because it didn’t post the first time. -_-
Note: Speculated info will be in this format: ([Speculated info]?). Info that has been proven, but some may want a link will be in these formats: (Proof ) and/or (Announced/Stated at/by [event/person]). Side comments will also be surrounded by parenthesis. I’ll be updating this when new information becomes available.
Halo 4
-Master Chief has new armor and his character will be explored (throughout the entire trilogy we can only assume)
-Cortana will play an important role (rampancy?)
-Weapons, ammo, (vehicles?) will be partially acquired from the crashed Forward Unto Dawn (Stated by Frank O’ Conner at E3 2011) (Proof here)
-The setting (as we can assume) takes place inside of a shield world
-Active Forerunner structures (weapons, vehicles?)
-New Warthog model (improvements?)
-More realistic sound effects (Announced at Halo Fest’s Halo 4 panel)
-Handgun that fires grenades (Still unsure about its function and if still part of final product)
-Halo 4 takes place at least 4 years after the events in Halo 3 (the year in Halo 4 would 2556 or beyond that)
-Fall to Holiday 2012 release (September-December <- Estimate)
Halo 5
-Darker story (don’t take this as official information since it was stated on Wiki)
Halo 6
-The end of Reclaimer Trilogy (Finale to the franchise?)
Whenever it comes out, thanks for reminding me about what we know, the absence of info on halo 4 is causing me to go slightly rampant(see what I did there)O
We don’t know if that grenade gun is going to be included. That reveal trailer was just a teaser. None of that stuff may be in the final game, with the exception of Chief, Cortana, Forward Unto Dawn, and the shield world.

Which is why I exactly said that we are not sure if the weapon was part of the final product.

Link please? I don’t want to add something that may not be official. Especially since 343i seems to be focusing exclusively on the Chief for this game.

Lol! XD I know what you mean. I’m actually glad for the lack of info, but if I don’t see something by the end of next month, then I’ll probably start to lose it. Here’s hoping to something on the 29th!

It’s definitely not official. Only a possibility :x

A good possibility at that. It could also explain the multiple Pelicans that were seen in the concept art. That is saying that part of the concept art is now part of the game.
You know, the statement that Guilty Sparks made near the end of Halo 3 still puzzles me. “You are Forerunner!..” Was what he said true or was it just a random statement due to rampancy? I’m really hoping 343i will explain this by the end of the Reclaimer trilogy.

rampancy? at over 100,000 years old? i doubt it (it is 100,000 years right)?

I believe he lived a lot more then 100.000 years. I could be very, very wrong.

Well, he is a Forerunner AI, so there would be a much larger time frame for an estimate of when he could go rampant. He actually did in fact go rampant. He showed signs in Halo CEA terminals and in the original game itself. He entered the rage stage of rampancy at the end of Halo 3.
