Ever since the first concept images of Halo 4 began to emerge, one key feature of arequiem’s landscape that has been exposed multiple times are the Pillars.
These colossal and mysterious structures seem to be quite common in Requiem, their purpose still unknown. In the image above, these structures seem to appear in large circular areas. Could this be where the Didact lies? Could the Pillars be factories that pump out Promethean warriors and Sentinels? Forerunner Condos?
What do you think?
I figured they were supports for Requiem’s “ceiling”.
I think they hold up Requeim’s external shell. That would explain why there are so many of them.
But maybe they have a much deeper purpose.

Some don’t even touch the ground. They just hang there. Something else must be going on.
I thought that was just the way Forerunner’s do things, that its just the way they architecture.
They supposedly extend from the Shield World’s shell all the way to Requiem’s surface. What ever they are, they are huge!
As for function: I haven’t even a theory
Am I the only one who was reminded of the prison facility from the CEA Map Pack (blanking on the name currently)?

I’ll be disappointed if they’re just eye-candy. They also really give you feelings of wonder and awe when you see them. They keep catching my eye even a year after first seeing them.

They do look kind of similar, but I can guarantee you they are completely unrelated.

You’re not alone. They’ve got a thing or two in common. Speaking of which, i’d like to see structures like those in the game too.
I don’t know what they are used for, but I love the way they look.
there in halo wars and they are big huge forerunner ships that the covenant try
and take control of.

Ehh… these look much to big and numerous to be Forerunner Ships. There might be ships here, but I don’t think these are it.

Sorry, but the ones at Requiem don’t like anything like that or have any visible union from where the “ships” would emerge from.
Still an interesting idea.

Smaller pieces are floating similar to The limbs on the Prometheans and their weapons. They may be anti-gravity supports.
