Subject: How did we know about this game's development last year?

The name's Ian, Game Designer at Whisper Game Studios, very off-and-on Bungie.net visitor and avid Bungie fan overall. Message me if you wish.

About a year ago, a little while after Halo 3 had been released, there were talks of gearbox making this same exact game. Everybody thought it plausible because it was Gearbox who made Halo CE for PC and so maybe Microsoft could have given Gearbox the go to another a prequel just for the hell of it. At first I was speculative saying that "This can't happen, Bungie makes the Halo FPS and they have the IP." Well then I remembered Halo Wars. Well after that I was truly convinced the Gearbox was working on Halo 4: Fall of Reach. Or at least that was what everyone called it at the time. I considered it a prequel so I just called it FOR... Anyhow, how is it, for those who knew about this and remember what I'm talking about, that we knew of this game's development so early on?

Ever since like Halo 2 many people have been anticipating a Fall of Reach prequel, and in that situation rumors will catch on like wildfire.

if you want to be technical then don't be silly.
halo 1 takes place before H2 that takes place before H3 ... so H4 would take place AFTER H3.
yet, reach takes place BEFORE H1.
so technically this game is halo zero.
