Halo 4 Story

It is confirmed that the story will continue from the events in Halo 3, though with something of a vacuum in terms of any other solid plot details, many have looked to other means for clues. 

In Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition, a number of ‘Easter eggs’ (hidden tid-bits, such as info, images or videos, or events) have been found, some of which are rumoured to provide hints to the story of Halo 4.

One video focuses on a character called Guilty Spark who has had a hundred thousand years of isolation, and gives some slender information as to what we can expect.

More recently, in the official Halo 4 trailer, there has been speculation on the presence of a Halo ring seen on a view screen.

Largely relying on interpretation, there is probably only so far you can go with this information, however.
