Subject: Is this the next halo game or not?!? HALO 4 IT IS!

The slater that has started will cost countless lives.
The slater that has started will create untold story's.
The slater that has started will not end with a bang.
The slater that has started will end with a unheard whimper
in the night.

No, no, no you see it is a new game, not an add-on, and also not Halo 4. Apparently Bungie has adopted the GTA system of naming... as long as it has a colon, it's not counted in the numerical sequence (ie GTA: Vice City is not GTA IV, though it should have been). Therefore Halo: Reach doesn't mean Halo 4.

I wish I was still legendary.

In technicality, by OP's way of thinking Halo Wars would be Halo 4.

The OP refers to it like that because this could potentially be another iteration of the previous Halo formula that just doesn't follow the previous storyline. Halo Wars wasn't another iteration of the previous Halo formula, it was something new.

Go Rams and Missouri!

By this logic, Halo Wars would be Halo 4 and this would be Halo 5.


And it's not Halo 4. For it to be Halo 4, it would need to be a continuation of the human vs Covenant war. It is not, it is a prequel to everything.

Let the guy dream, K? He wants to call it Halo 4, so let him call it Halo 4. And yes, calling it Halo 4 IS accurate. It is a new storyline set in the Halo series, the Characters make no difference in determining what the game will be called. It has recurring themes, it came after Halo 3, it IS the 4th Halo game produced by Bungie, so shut up and deal with it.

Sup everyone, I'm Josh~ I'm co-founder of Epic Pic, which used to be one of the largest and most successful screenshot group on Bungie.net.

Listen.. Here is an answer to all of your questions.. ITS BEFORE HALO COMBAT EVOLVED, BEFORE MASTER CHIEF COMES INTO HALO GAMES. Easy to understand right?

lol don't bother trying to explain to these retards that this isn't halo 4 because they are 100% guaranteed to be the same retards to call Call of duty world at war cod5 instead. Apparently they can't read the name on the cover because instead of going to school they stay on their games all day long. Apparently, or there wouldn't be a 10 year old squeaky voiced kid or EXTREMELY feminine voiced 14 year old thinking he is "cool" online at such late times like 4 am or later. Great parenting right there. ;)

It's not called Halo 4 because the story of the Covenant vs UNSC is over. Any other games would be prequels and would not be able to be named Halo 4 because it wouldn't be a continuation. Also, Master Chief's story isn't done, so when his story is continued, it would be the start of a new story and a new fight, so it wouldn't be a continuation of the story either, but a new chapter.

Just because Spartansare in it doesn't mean it's Halo. It may have the same characters as Halo, but there is no ring worlds to be located or adventured, at least as far as i know.

It's a Halo game because it's in the same universe, just as Halo Wars was called Halo.

I've got a colon, Blade. Am I not counted in numerical sequence?




P.S.- Sorry for that epic Meet The Parents nod

It's Not Halo 4 Unless Bungie Calls it Halo 4.

Man i am sick of forums 2 many people who dont know what they are talking about. (Jesus -blam!- look it up)

  • 06.02.2009 9:12 PM PDT

No. And do you really feel the need to write that many exclaimation/question marks? A bit excessive there...

  • 06.03.2009 5:56 PM PDT

my old account "gamegeknee" was hacked and thats why I had to make a new login name.

It's the fourth FPS Halo game, so it's pretty much Halo 4, people are going to call it that whether you like it or not.

  • 06.03.2009 6:00 PM PDT

Can people just stop saying Halo 4? It sounds so disgusting and dumb to even say. *shivers*

  • 06.03.2009 6:03 PM PDT

Long live the Last Refuge!

Its not Halo 4, to Bungie halo 4 is a sequel to Halo 3. This is a prequel to Halo 1, so it isn't halo 4 in Bungie's mind. In a sense it is but it would be Halo 5 since Halo 3:ODST would be the next in the series.

  • 06.03.2009 6:04 PM PDT

Forever there shall be war, thus forever we shall fight...

This is Halo 4 like Red Alert was Command and Conquer 2. Which makes C&C 3, C&C 12.

I digress.

How many addons have you heard of with public multiplayer betas?
