'''Master Chief:''' I'm here. }}

 

343 Industries released a [http://youtu.be/f6UL63Zo-uo First Look] showing off the new SPARTAN IV armor for multiplayer, the updated Battle Rifle, hints that the [[Big Bad]] will be even ''more'' threatening than the Halo rings, the new music score and a title sequence that strongly hints at a cybernetic Forerunner [[Big Bad]]. Microsoft has hinted in the release date announcement "Master Chief returns to confront his destiny and face [[Abusive Precursors|an ancient evil]] that threatens the fate of the entire universe."

 

 

 

* [[Call Back]]: The last thing Master Chief said to Cortana before going into cryogenic sleep in ''[[Halo 3]]'' was "Wake me... when you need me." The ''Halo 4'' trailer has Cortana repeatedly calling out, "Chief, I need you!"

* [[Character Development]]: 343 Industries has confirmed that John-117 has changed psychologically during his long cryosleep. As seen in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Em1MiiqT9A&feature=g-all-u E3 2012 gameplay trailer], he seems to be more willing to talk on missions and to care more about his fellow soldier, rather than simply doing a job stoically.

* [[Heroic Mime]]: Finally fully averted. John-117 speaks freely in and out of cutscene, though he does have a professional attitude about him.

** [[Dialog During Gameplay]]: Unlike any previous entry save ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]''.

** Once Microsoft set Bungie free and created 343 Industries, fan theories focused around a ''Combat Evolved'' remake or this. Turns out we got both.

* [[Mecha-Mooks]]: This is the first game to feature openly hostile non-Monitor Forerunner enemies, and they're still machines such as the Promethean Watchers, Promethean Knights, and Promethean Crawlers.

* [[Nightmare Face]]: The [http://www.halopedian.com/File:Knight_skull.jpg true face] of the Promethean-Knight. We are not responsible for any nightmares looking at it causes.

* [[Oh Crap]]: Remember that planet in the legendary ending of ''[[Halo 3]]''? The one with all the Forerunner symbols that could be seen from orbit? Turns out it's still inhabited. And it's full of hostile Forerunner battle droids ''and'' Covenant Remnant forces.

** Everyone who studied Halo's expanded universe were probably less surprised about the planet.

* [[Sealed Badass in a Can]]: How the Master Chief starts the game.

* [[Shout-Out]]: The Vision mode that Cortana activates toward the end of the gameplay trailer to see [[Invisibility|invisible]] Forerunner troopers is very similar to the multi-vision modes from ''[[Predator]]'' in look and activation.

** It seems that the Spartan IVs have arrived via crash landing on Requiem in the ''UNSC Infinity'', so yes, they will also probably be appearing in single player.

* [[Sprint Shoes]]: The "Sprint" armor ability can be used without taking up an armor ability slot now, unlike in ''[[Halo: Reach]]''.

* [[This Is Sparta]]:

* [[Trilogy Creep]]: Since Bungie never intended to go past a third game themselves. According to 343 Industries, this will be the start of a whole new trilogy, which means we can expect the series to go up to ''Halo 6'', which means if there will be no other games there will be ''nine'' games total.

* [[Took a Third Option]]: A good number of fans were disappointed when the DMR replaced the Battle Rifle in Reach, but it had its fans; on the other hand, the Battle Rifle has been praised as the "signature" weapon of Halo (really, they're almost identical; [[Rule of Cool]] is the only solid argument in the BR's favor). Instead of choosing one over the other, 343's solution was to add ''both'' in the next game.
