Well if it is Shield World and MC finds Halsey and the other Spartans...how would that NOT be Halo 4?
I mean...Bungie would have two options if they went this way.
1) Halo 4: The Journey back to Earth.
or
2) Halo 4: We're bored lets go destroy the rest of the rings.

yea, awesome things happen when insom gets bored
I seriously hope that there's a Halo 4 but it would have to have a huge twist. The Prophets are dead and the Elites are friendly to the humans. The flood is no longer a known problem. Fighting insane Spartans probably wouldn't be accepted as a good game by most Halo fans plus there's only like 3 Spartans on Onyx according to the books so that wouldn't be enough to make a game off. The flood isn't completely dead, there's probably way more on the other rings but I doubt that Bungie would make a game where all you do is fight the flood. Maybe there is some kind of hidden evil on Onyx that is uncovered or something, when I was reading the first two Halo books I definitely got the feeling that there was something really powerful and unknown to anyone hidden in the Forerunner artifacts, besides that flood. About meeting Forerunners, I think they were just ancient humans for the following reasons:
- The Ark is on Earth
- You don't really get this by playing the games, the books emphasize how the Master Chief somehow knew how to use Forerunner technology (the computer systems on Halo)
- 343 Guilty Spark keeps saying things to Master Chief as if they had met before, as if the Forerunners also had Spartans, just more advanced as Spark was saying how Master Chief's armor was inadequate to fight the flood in Halo: Combat Evolved.
I really hope that there is a Halo 4 but only if Bungie can come up with a really good story
I think everyone would like to see a Halo 4 or even Master Chief again for that matter. But I do agree with you. There has to be a good story line not just KILL,KILL,KILL. That is what most Halo players are looking for anyways. (Campaign)
