Well, by your logic, this would be Halo 5. Halo Wars would be Halo 4.

Not really, because it was not produced by Bungie, making everything that happened in the game unofficial canon.

Loose talk is noose talk.

Wrong. It takes place three weeks before Cap'n begins his speech on the whole "DEFEND THIS MOTHA- SHIP!" thing.

Halo 4 is supposedly never going to happen. If there is to be a sequel, it would have a different name. My guess is Halo: The Chronicles of Master Chief, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

The Battle of Reach takes place about 10 minutes before Halo 1. So quit arguing about it, and read the books already.

No, a Halo prequel. I takes place right before Halo 1. If it was Halo 4, its storyline would take place after Halo 3.

What he said. Although if it really is the battle of Reach, we lose this battle.


If it really is the battle of Reach, we Elites won this battle! :)

if reach is before halo 1, does that mean we get back the old pistol and 60 bullet AR?

I guess I think that it can't be a prequel, because it would be about a battle that we know the outcome of, and that is failure... who would make a game where the user fails their mission?


It is possible to tell a good story in which the protagonist fails

I thought Gearbox was making Halo 4.

I laugh in the face of idiocy.

This is Halo 1.5 with Halo 3 graphics (well hopefully better then that lol).

yeah the battle takes 10 minutes before the very first game but some spartans are still alive even during the second game so this game would relate to during the events that happen on halo 1.
Also if you look at the trailer half of the planet is already glassed so i'm pretty sure it'll include all the events that happen in the first book and the third book.
I just hope that in the game they allow you to play as the 2 spartans that went on the mission in space along with master chief or at least show a video of that battle.

Bungie, oh Bungie, oh Bungie,
Know what would really be fun, G?
I don’t wish to nag
But remake Coag,
Or die from a purple sword-lungie.

Since theres no Halo at Reach, Bungie was right about saying there will be no more Halos after the trilogy.
It seems they just threw "Halo" onto the game to get people to buy it.

Not to be a parrot, but this is the answer. Which is why the game Bungie is working on is called Halo Reach and not Halo 4.

It will probably be a prequel to Halo: CE, as Halo 3: ODST is a prequel to Halo 3.

  • 06.02.2009 9:36 AM PDT

Brace for carnage, sweet sweet halo carnage :)

i dont think its halo 4 i think its halo: reach

prequel to halo 1. its gonna be amazing.

im curious to see what the multiplayer is going to be like this time around.

Its the 4th whole Halo game, but not halo 4, if you see what I mean...

I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

What we know from "Fall of Reach", which is what I can only assume the game is going to be based around, Mendez is in the middle of training the SPARTAN-II's. This is where we meat:

*Déjà
Dr. Catherine Halsey
Cortana
Jacob Keyes - Lieutenant

What we know is that Reach is attacked, 99% of all the SPARTAN's are dead - or presumed dead - and Cortana initiates a slipspace course based on the ancient glyphs intercepted by the Covenant at Sigma Octanus, the course takes them to a massive ringworld known as Halo, setting the stage for the events of Halo: Combat Evolved.

This game IS Halo 4, i.e. The fourth halo fps game in the series, although it obviously doesn't have 4 in the title. Nor will it take place AFTER Halo 3, however, it IS Halo 4, despite of when the events in the game take place. New FPS Halo released after Halo 3 = Halo 4, despite of anything else. It will be amazing. There is no way it is a third person or an RTS because of the $ making formula for one, and secondly I feel like this prequel to Halo CE will be the last of the Halo FPS series, simply because the story is fairly complete and a prequel is really the only gap that Bungie has left within the story to fill. I really hope it follows the same amazing Halo fps formula and engine we have all come to love, but with different spartan classes/ and or perks or berserks like in COD4/ Resistance 2. Thoughts?

Evan: I heard she got breast reduction surgery.
Seth: What? That's like slapping God across the face for giving you a beautiful gift.

I thought this type of video game history nerdery only happened with PC gamers...

So this is like Halo: The Phantom Menace.
