You really got to look at it from a business point of View, in one day Halo 3 has totally busted the record of the highest opening day of entertainment history. So in my opinion what is really going to happen, the reason they left the game so open ended is for a Movie Release. I mean come on if you look at all movies comming out that were about video games (( Especially the not so good ones like DOA....sigh.... Game Awesome! Movie....sigh...)) I mean I am pretty sure Bungie knew what they had when they made the game so of course they are going to keep it open ended so that the movie can begin from there. Plus it would be so perfect cause all the conflicts have ended and a new one can begin, so people that never played the games can understand what is going on in the movie.. So I am pretty sure you will not see anymore Master Chief Spartain 117 Halo games, but I am sure you will see plenty of spinoffs I wouldn't doubt the next spin off will be a squad based war game like Call of Duty from the marines perspective, to come, and think of it would be Awesome... Of course though I was wrong before. I never knew that the Titanic sunk in that movie I thought the were just going to repair the hole and keep on trucking..

To play or not to play....

I think that planet thing you see in the legendary ending is important. I say it is the planet in the center of the Ark. Someone or something is on that planet.

In any case I think the ending is simply a case that the Master Chief has landed on the planet in the center of the Ark and that is "where the gods reside". Possibly a Forerunner is still in stasis there and some system sees the Master Chief as having passed all tests and the Forerunner wants to meet the MC.

Also you need to think about it all.

The Flood is not destroyed. The gravemind is destroyed and as such the Floods central intelligence is lost. However my understanding is that the Flood could build another gravemind. Granted it may not hold all the memories of the one that was lost but it would help centralise the thoughts of the Flood. The Halo rings are still around (except Halo 04). That leaves 6 stations with Flood samples on each one. This could lead to Flood trouble in the future.

The Brutes and Covenant are now leaderless. This may lead to cival war that will see the Covenant tear itself apart and possibly many innocents will be threatened and the MC will have to step in. Possibly the Forerunner on the planet within the Ark knows this has happened and wishes to be awakened so it can step in and assist in overseeing the galaxy. This may be particularly true now that the Gravemind is gone.

There are lots of ways to go here.

The Ghost of Onyx is actually a finished story. If you read through it you will find that Dr Halsey wanted a place to escape the worries of the Universe and help protect her Spartans. She saw each and every one of them almost like a child of her own. She wished only to take the Spartans away from all strife and live happily ever after. The shield world may have been an escape route but it also serves Dr Halsey's wishes perfectly. She may not want to leave the shield much as many people think.

However there will be no more Halo games as the threat of Halo is over. Halo is no longer a problem. The next game will be called something else. Perhaps they can call it "Awaken" or "Ark" .

Maybe they'll rejoin with Alex Seropian and Halo 4's lead will be a genetically enhanced super zombie?

I seriously hope that Bungie decide to go with the new IP route - Halo feels finished, and it's time to move on.
I dont think Halo feels finished at all

Maybe another halo game could be set before Halo 1 called, "Halo: O.D.S.T".
You are leader of a squad of ODSTs fighting covenant on certain planets, squad-based, and before each mission, you can choose your and your squads weaponry i.e Primary weapon, Secondary weapon, explosives ( a lot more weapons in the halo universe for this).
What do you think?

If their was a halo 4 then there wouldn't be much story to master chief, so it could probably mean that the humans and the elites just team up and destroy the rest of the brutes and thats it, it wouldnt really relate to master chief because he is lost in space and from what iv heard he is in another universe lost and may never be found. That is what i say, im not saying it is true, but thats what i heard. We just have to wait what bungie does.

There's NOT going to another Halo game with John-117. Halo 4 is impossible.
But for those of you who doesn't keep on reading the news, there's gonna be another game. Halo Wars.

It's not being made by Bungie!!!!!!!!! Dang, get you facts straight. And that is a completely different gametype altogether. Halos 1, 2, and 3 were all FPS... Halo Wars is RTS.

um, it's called the "halo trilogy" for a reason...

halo series has ended since it was absed around the halo rings and now their oput of the picture so probibly it be called sumthing else maybe about a rebal group of elites and they don't want a treaty with humans? but then theirs gotta be a new name and it would only be called halo 4 by fans as a nick name since its a continuation of the halo universe but not centered around the rings.
