What was halo 4's theme?

I mean as a story. On the surface it seemd as another "rescue the world" tale but I think it had much more. I only got the theme of being human and of the masterchief getting his humanity back a theme that has continued from reach. What do you think the themes of this game were?

  • "Wake up John" acts as a highlight to the overall theme of the game's plot. While John is still the able-bodied master of weapons and vehicles, the universe arround him has changed from the victories of humanity during the Human Covenant War. Chief's allies are gone, spread out, or dead, and the UNSC he returns to is a stronger, sturdier, yet less experienced group that disregards Chief's importance, despite the fact that the officer has saved humanity on multiple occasions. He is old news, and the world no longer needs him to hide from the Covenant threat. Humanity controls a powerful fleet with the knowledge of enemy weaponry and devices that human forces before them would have been lucky to get a hold of and use properly. The game has changed, and with Chief out of the loop, the universe has moved on. Therefore, "time marches on" acts as one of the strongest themes, where the chief-a victim of ignorance as a result of a long slumber-must force himself back into the reality of war. The battle he knows and was nearly bred to fight in is over. His best friend, Cortana, is dead. Time marches on, and whether he likes it or not, he must "carry on" too, or die with the memories of a war won years ago.
