A planet enclosed in a Dyson Sphere with massive Forerunner structures hanging from the heavens with the ability to keep anything inside safe from a Halo activation’s effects. This has Wonder and Awe written all over it. And to be honest, I don’t know why most of you love to hate on this game already. The setting of the game alone should get any Halo fan more excited than you ever have for a Halo game. 343 is crafting an entire new world and new experiences just for you guys. They’re introducing us to a new enemy with far more power than the covenant and they’re bringing the fiction from the books and plugging it into the game’s campaign for us… How could you people complain?
Idk, the first Halo had a ton of wonder and awe (I love that campaign). But anyway, it’s not the campaign people are arguing and complaining about. It’s multiplayer. I’m sure the campaign will be sweet.

I thought the halo installations were interesting IMO and would love to see them sometime in the new trilogy

Exactly… On the forums people through fits over the new multiplayer information. But when it comes to campaign, people just come together and discuss and speculate.
Requiem sounds great. Halos aren’t anything new. In fact, I read a story by Larry Niven decades ago called “Ring World” that was about a Halo-like world. So it wasn’t even new when HCE came out.
Just thinking out loud for a minute. When does the title for Halo change? What I mean is we’ve had three games not take place on a Halo ring. Halo 3 ODST, Halo Wars, Halo Reach. Now if Halo 4 does not actually take place on a Halo ring as well, well??? Should Halo 4 be called “Halo 4: Requiem”?
Of course we all would likely agree that the word “Halo” must appear in the title for it to be a game in the franchise. But I do find it odd that 3 and now possibly 4 games won’t take place on one.

Yeah, it is odd. The Halo Array will have to factor into the story eventually, and I feel like it will. We’ve only seen Installations 00, 04, and 05 out of 7.

There are two rings in Reach (or maybe both are on the same ring). Do Forgeworld and Tempest count?
