Johnsons dead :(
Guilty Spark is dead :(
Covenant is finnished
The only remaining flood, are in storage on the 6 remaining halos.
I don't see how they can make Halo 4 as epic as the origional trilogy.
As for CE it would be cool if they just released CE and Halo 2 with the controles modified for the 360.
At a maximum, they could re-create the cutscenes using the reach engine, but nothing else.
*facedesk*
Legendary planet,the return of the forerunners and precursors,finishing the flood,the other alien species in the galaxy you really think the covies are the only ones?
I'm sure 343 got something,remeber the bungie already knew what would happen in halo 4.
I'm sure Halo 4 will surprise jsut like how Cryptum surprised us.
Don't underestimate the potential story of Halo 4
But its better to leave it as it is.
The regular fans of just the games don't know about the Forerunner (because mainstream gamers don't pay attention to such details, just to explosions) so suddenly including Forerunners (which is also purely speculation, as we don't even know who is on that planet, and if there is somebody alive on it, let alone if there are Forerunners and Precursors there) would piss a lot of people off.
What would be better is to let the storyline as it is.
If they insist on making a true sequel to Halo 3, leave Chief out of it and have us fight the remaining Covenant Loyalists.
But I'm not a fan of continueing where Halo 3 left off. Look at Star Wars: did that become better once they continued after the main trilogy? Sure games such as Jedi Knight are epic, but it also introduced us to plothole and twists after another, countless irrelevant characters etc etc.
343 would do better to search for interesting stories during the UNSC-Covenant War. There are many prequel/simultanious/sequels possible to many of the existing games in the series. And that would work better in my honest opinion.
I don't see a problem with because the sotry of the Halo trilogy was complex as well,it makes a good story unlike Halo Reach where it only is "shoot aliens,blow things up,..."
I miss a story like the halo trilogy with mysterys,adventure,epicness,...
Most of the human-covenant war is already explored,i would like to see something else.It get's boring after a while fighting against the covenant
Partly agree with you: I want new things too.
BUT: take away the Covenant, UNSC, their weapons, Warthogs, Banshees etc etc....what is left of Halo then?
I mean, the hardcore fan might/will like it, but mainstream Halo would take a huge blow if they would take away everything that is iconic about Halo and just keep the Chief.
No, if you ask me, 343 should focus on different takes on the shooter genre.
A team based ODST/Blue Team game for instance.
A far more gritty game that is 100% Halo but also includes a bit more brutality (Brutes as in the books for instance)
A MMO FPS in which you choose side and fight for control over numerous areas spread across the Halo galaxy.
A Halo game with short 1-2 level stories, kind of like Halo Evolutions in the shape of a game (which could then also cover Forerunners for instance, or a purely space battle orientated story, Flood etc etc, something for every fan)
Those are just some ideas from the top of my head. There is SO much more space in the UNSC-Covenant War to explore...I wouldn't throw that all away and take a next step that is THAT radical if I was 343.
I agree Halo should be evolving into something new now, but this would be too radical. It would loose so much of its icons and familiarity that it might just as well be a different series in the same universe then...better off without the Halo name and all.
