# Talk:Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn

I'm curious why this promotion has its own article instead of a section within Halo 4. How is it notable independent of H4's purview? czar · · 08:17, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

I think it's notable enough, consider Mortal Kombat: Legacy, a live-action web series for a video game.  This is a far bigger project, and it is getting it's own commercial release.  The article currently needs alot of expansion, i.e. plot/development sections (I would expand it but I don't much time currently), alot of detail can be included here that wouldn't be suitable as a subsection of the Halo 4 article. Developers have said it's more than just a promotional tool for Halo 4 and bare in mind Marketing of Halo 3 had it's own article. The1337gamer (talk) 12:56, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Forward Unto Dawn is showing to be very popular. Achieving over a million views per episode on Youtube just after each parts first day of release. The sheer budget of the project coupled with the significance of a live action Halo project as a Halo film has been on and off for several years. Third-party sources for Forward Unto Dawn will rise quickly once all the parts and the whole film has been released. Jonjonjohny (talk) 17:55, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
The question is, are there third party sources about its reception? Thus far I haven't seen much. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs(talk) 03:07, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

On the summary for episode their is an error. At the beginning of Halo 4 Thomas Lasky is a Commander serving under Captain Andrew Del Rio, not a captain. 124.170.72.160 (talk) 06:43, 3 November 2012 (UTC)

I think the person you put it up was not smart  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Keithv708 (talk • contribs) 11:51, 8 December 2012 (UTC) 

I think a bot added semi-protection to the page when somebody incorrectly moved the Halo 4 article to this page. Semi-protection stops auto confirmed users for editing which is why you are unable to edit I think. Once your account is 4 days old and you have made 10 edits you should be able to edit the page.  Alternatively, you can make an edit request or request the removal of semi-protection on the page so auto confirmed users can edit it. The1337gamer (talk) 12:03, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Shouldn't "unto" be lowercase (per MOS:CT)? It's a title preposition with four or less letters, and used as a preposition (forward until dawn). czar · · 04:21, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

In this case, no. In the franchise Forward Unto Dawn is the name of a frigate in service under the UNSC.-- OsirisV (talk) 12:44, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

The article is not clear about what this production really is. It starts saying it is a film. Then it mentions a series. 
Later on, out any context, it narrates the plot of several episodes.
I came here to learn what this was about, but ended up with more doubts than I previously had.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.187.75.218 (talk) 21:27, 1 April 2015 (UTC) 

Someone made a bunch of incorrect edits and removed content.  I've reverted the edits.  The1337gamer (talk) 22:09, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Why does the credits include "Presented by Elliott Smith," with the hyperlink leading to musician Elliott Smith, who died in 2003 despite this film being released in 2012? What does "presented by" even mean in this context? Where did the credit come from? Where is the source? Is it simply a case of an incorrect hyperlink that leads to Elliott Smith despite the Smith in question perhaps being a different person? Or is it an outright error? 203.114.152.250 (talk) 00:03, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
