the didact cannot be the villain. this is because a description for halo 4 says ‘‘an ancient evil threatens the fate of the entire universe.’’
this shows that the didact or any forerunnner for that matter cannot be the threat as forerunners were not extra galactic and i doubt they were able to acheive that level of technology, with them being near extinct and any survivors in cryptums.
of course the sentence could just be exaggerated, but lets think about this anyway.
They’ve confirmed that he is.
/thread.
no one said didact will be the bad,is only points of view,i mind,master chief destroy the rings,didact get pissed off and try to kill master chief,is logical
> They’ve confirmed that he is.

No they haven’t they just confirmed he will play a major roll in the campaign, which we knew since e3, nowhere has it been confirmed he is the ancient evil
> They’ve confirmed that he is.

They said he played a large role in the game, not that he is the ancient evil. It was cleverly worded, and besides they wouldn’t spoil something that big this early.
when did they confirm he is a villain? saying he is the core of the conflict doesn’t make him the villain and in fact they have been shying away from calling him the villain!
Because he probably isn’t the ‘ancient evil’. If you know about his back story it’s hard to imagine him threatening everything in the galaxy. I’d put my money on the precursors.
thats what i was gonna post if nobody was replying. and yes his back story does say he wouldnt be evil, what with his beleif in the mantle and all, unless something pops up in silentium that ends his belief and want him to take revenge

This by far. I can tell there’s going to be much worse enemies than just the Didact, for sure.
Please correct me if i’m wrong but the Didact was against the creation of the Halo rings. The Halo rings were created by the master builder who was the Didacts “enemy” and the Didact created the shield worlds one of which was onyx and one of which we believe is requiem. Where in all of this do you get the idea that the didact would be an enemy even in Halo 4? I’ve read all the Halo books except for primoridium. . . speaking of which I believe that the “ancient evil” is the primordial that was held captive that you learned about from Halo Cryptum? Any thoughts on that?

No. They haven’t…

I still think it’s Faber.

If I remember correctly Faber is the Master Builder and that would make complete sense to me if he was the ancient evil. I haven’t read through Primoridium yet but at what happened at the end of Cryptum is the Master Builder possibly dead after what had happened at his trial?
Regardless of the fact they were advanced- they were STILL ancient. I also doubt it’d be a precursor or any sort.
Flood were technically newer than the forerunners too so it’s unlikely 343 made such a double lie by saying no flood and calling them ancient compared to the forerunners.
I do not see why everyone is so absolutely opposed to it. So what if he’s the “ancient evil”?
OR you can do one of the following
1 - stop guessing as its random conclusions some right or wrong
or
2 - go to IGN with a full game story spoil to read
im stickin with option 1 thank you
Never read the books but I thought the Didact hated Humanity?

Precursor! Only Precursors could enter/leave our Local Supercluster.
I knew it wasn’t the Didact. It just couldn’t be!
Words are carefully used. It’s not exaggerated.
> Never read the books but I thought the Didact hated Humanity?
He didn’t. Granted it’s been 100,000 years since then, but as far as we know he never hated humans enough to go on a genocidal campaign that threatens the entire universe just because he hates humans.

He hates humans and humans hated him. He always disagreed with the Librarian on what to do because she liked humanity and he did not.
