Talk:Halo 4

Legendary Planet
Ok so we see that at the end of Halo 3 that the Forward Unto Dawn (what's left of it) is heading towards a unidentified planet. We have an article about the planet. In the Halo 4 trailer, we see that John is awake and they are now REALLY close to it. The Halo 4 article should list the Unidentified Legendary Planet as the location for the time being.

 * Nope not Yet we don't know for sure if it's the legendary planet "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 14:31, 6 June 2011 (EDT)


 * For all we know the FuD flew straight past the planet and found its way into a space station for the remnants of the Covenant.--  Fore  run  ner '' 14:34, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Ok let's look at it this way. The Foward Unto Dawn is floating towards, what we have labeled it the Legendary Planet at the end of Halo 3. You're suggesting that by possibly the power of God, that the ship stops floating towards it and heads towards a completely different Forerunner looking planet. EchostreamFanJosh


 * I'm making a point - we have no idea how long it's been since Halo 3. I also don't recall seeing a "Forerunner looking planet" - I saw a beam of light coming out of an object that we see nothing else of.--  Fore  run  ner '' 14:47, 6 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Onyx wasn't made of rock, so no.--  Fore  run  ner '' 15:33, 6 June 2011 (EDT)


 * since we don't have any confirmation that it is so then well leave it as such "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 14:43, 6 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Frankie hinted, or pretty much confirmed it on a G4TV interview (around the 00:45 mark) that it's the Legendary planet. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 16:06, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

M6G Personal Defense Weapon System
I can confirm it is used in-game because Forward Unto Dawn wouldn't have updated technology, unless somebody came on, and gave it to John-117 himself. -Spedster777, Administrator of the Saints Row wiki. 16:37, 6 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Halo 3 didn't have an M6G that fired explosive rounds either, which is what the pistol in the trailer seems to do. It's way too early to make the conclusion that a specific gun will appear in the game, especially when all we've seen is a pre-rendered trailer. So please stop adding that into the article.--Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 16:50, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Or maybe 343 decided to screw us over and began to lay the nails in Halo's coffin. They're screwing all kinds of things over. -Whiskey Lima

I also added Trivia up there about what 343 did mess up with, but somebody removed them. -Spedster777, Administrator of the Saints Row wiki. 16:46, 6 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Again, we only accept information that is sourced and confirmed, otherwise it is regardled as speculation. The sidearm may very well look like the M6 but that doesn't necessarily mean its the M6G. Edit warring is unacceptable, do not resort to it or the page will be locked down. If you disagree, discuss on the talk page and make a conclusion. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 16:51, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

Is it just me or did a rocket come out of that pistol? At first I though MC was just testing it or something, but after watching it about five times, I'm pretty sure he shot a rocket that blew up the wall ahead of him. Andrew996 16:47, 6 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Could be a tracer. Furthermore, what prevents the Forward Unto Dawn from carrying explosive M6G ammunition? Just because we never saw the pistol fire explosive rounds in 3 doesn't mean it can't. It's the same calibre ammo.--The All-knowing Sith&#39;ari 17:16, 6 June 2011 (EDT)
 * It doesn't look like an ordinary pistol to me - more like a miniature grenade launcher. Watching the trailer frame-by-frame, one can see the whole upper part of the weapon flip open when it's reloaded. The "attachment" part seems like it could be the grenade it fires. There's also a small display on the side of the weapon and "rails" where the attachment - or grenade - goes, visible near the end when the Chief stands up. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 19:17, 6 June 2011 (EDT)

It's also worth remembering that everything in the trailer is still pre-production - for all we know it was just artistic license SPARTAN-347 17:21, 6 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Actually, the game has been in production at various levels for three years now as per Producer Ryan Payton, this trailer was using external CGI.

For the sake of completeness, we should remember that the M6 Sidearm series does indeed fire high explosive rounds, just not five-inch wide explosive canisters as the unidentified weapon apparently does. And I agree with Jugus: the weapon in the trailer does not seem to be a traditional pistol; rather it seems to be a cut-down or downsized version of a grenade launcher. As a side note, I believe it would also be beneficial to treat the "jetpack" as a hitherto unused integrated thruster pack designed for zero-gravity maneuvers in order to preserve equipment continuity. After all, except for Halo 2, we haven't seen the Mk VI MJOLNIR operate in zero gravity while under adverse conditions; and even in Halo 2, the camera was fairly far away. I know that there was never any mention of one, but we could have missed such a thruster pack's exhaust... Possibly. For your consideration, --Bruce2401 02:30, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Well those two bit that stick out of the back do look like exaust ports, and they've never done anything before, so it could very well be a built-in jet pack, that he hasn't needed to use until now. The grenade launcher looks like it's based off of the M6 series, and there are a lot of variants. Alex T Snow 04:04, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * ^Agreed on the pistol/launcher Alex. The two are probably in the same series.  Haha, anyone feel up for an M6-Doorbuster?  I feel I should clarify my view on the thrusters: they would be specifically designed for zero-gravity, not as a "jump pack" like in Halo: Reach.  They're easier to explain away in that case.  --Bruce2401 07:08, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
