Requiem for a Halo 4 Dream

The Game Informer article leak has confirmed a few things for the new Halo 4 game.

Halo 4 takes place four and a half years after the events of Halo 3 when Cortana wakes up the Chief after detecting an alien intruder aboard what is left of the UNSC Forward Unto Dawn.

The ship eventually crashes onto the planet Requiem, which is enclosed in a Dyson Shell. There's been a lot of speculation about what Requiem actually was so some fans will be pleased they were right.

We now know that we haven't quite got rid of the Covenant, however, the Chiefs main enemy is a new 'faction' that the article describes as being “kind of elevated in terms of their intelligence and complexity relative to the Covenant.”

This info is all kinda sketchy and just taken from fan sites around the place - things might change with the official release of the Game Informer magazine...
