I've been on a badly-written-scifi-book kick recently, which has (unfortunately) included much of the recent Halo fiction. While, from a story perspective, I'm excited for Halo 4... I'm guessing it's not going to be nearly as cool/epic as the written fiction hints it might be. There's just no way to pack that much awesome into a single player storyline without it imploding (or costing a bajillion dollars to produce).

As long as the multiplayer still sucks away 6 months of my life, I guess it will be fine?

Also, I'm guessing there will be flood (surprise!) because every time a beloved franchise is taken over by a different development team they are afraid of changing the success formula *too much* without losing "the magic". Even if it's only a cameo, flood fun will be had.

Other safe bets:
1.) Master Chief will blow up something the size of a planet
2.) Cortana will be AWOL for part of the game
3.) You will fight next to marines for a level, before they are all annihilated by something ginormous.
4.) Although seemingly unbeatable, you will beat the ginormous invincible thing later in the game by shooting a magic switch
5.) Epic music.
