Good more MC

bad news...


i think that it would be wiser for microsft to give 343 MORE time to make halo games seeing how every game was rushed and meet with alot of bad reviews. Reach pulled it off due to being made right after halo 3 and bungie being used to short due dates.

But the true halo is the story and gameplay, not multiplayer. So they SHOULD give 343 all the time they need to make a kickass game that will sell alot and over time than pop out halo's ever year (which i know they would despite what they said). because i'll offically switch to dead space, mass effect, or fallout if a new halo is out 2 days before the annual call of duty.

Signatures are for squares.

You do realized there's pretty much been a Halo game every year since 2007 right?

343 probably has a huge staff with teams working on multiple games, much like how Bungie worked on ODST and Reach at the same time, as well as having a DLC team for Halo 3. I'm sure 343 will have plenty of time for their releases.

they're a big, money sucking company, what would you expect? They don't care about quality anymore, since everyone will love anything that simply has halo labeled on.

I would like to see a happy medium, not a halo game every year but then again not every 3, more like a new game 2 - 2.5 years

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Those articles are pretty old.

Exactly.

I'm hopeful that they will look after the franchise and respect its roots, but my cynical side tells me that before we know it we'll be fighting Evil Spartans, travelling through time, exploring parallel dimensions and gaining psychic abilities or some other terrible plot device.

I'm not going to tell anyone "I told you so", because I've done that enough with scarcely enough proof, but my opinion is that it's going to be straight crap from here on out. I've bailed the Halo wagon, and, in my opinion, wisely so.

  • 01.17.2011 4:11 PM PDT

Don't trip I am almost certain that the next halo game will be a remake of Combat Evolve that will blow away all the halos past. Then probably a halo wars 2.

I believe 343i really does cares about crafting a kick ass halo game and Halo 4 will come on the next Xbox console.

  • 01.17.2011 4:23 PM PDT

Hang on, how old are these?

I'm pretty sure O'Connor has debunked the second article in interviews since.

Then why continue to post here? You speak like you're the only one in this forum who plays a game other than Halo.

The franchise is fairly low down on my personal favourite's list. At the moment, even a few DS games are higher for me. But still, it's a good series.

You hold preconceptions about 343 based on biased remarks and insubstantial rumours. Looking back at everything 343 has done so far though, it's all been pretty good.

Reach -blam!- the canon up more than Legends or anything by 343 could ever hope to. I've lost faith in Bungie as a developer as they are very narcissistic and pretentious these days; their success has gone to their heads and I dislike that. I'm not saying every employee is like that because I'm sure most of them are great, but the public image the company presents is one I dislike.

So instead of warbling on like some fishmonger's ex-wife, why not just wait for 343 to actually show something instead of making ignorant judgements based on statements that are, to be frank, bollocks.

That article was from July it just amazes me that people do this I mean come on I saw a forum like two weeks ago where some guy was all excited because he discovered the monkey man easter egg in ODST.

  • 01.17.2011 4:35 PM PDT

Halo 4:

Coming 2011.

  • 01.17.2011 5:19 PM PDT

The universe is probably littered with the one-planet graves of cultures which made the sensible economic decision that there's no good reason to go into space--each discovered, studied, and remembered by the ones who made the irrational decision.

this series is going the way of COD and star wars. Bail out now.

  • 01.17.2011 5:26 PM PDT

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I like Master Chief and I want to know the rest of his story, but right now I'm kind of tired of Master Chief. I would like a few side-story games like ODST 2 or Halo Wars 2 or a completely different story that don't have Master Chief. Then, when and if Halo 4 does come out...I won't be tired of playing as Chief.

As for the second article...M$ is going to destroy a great franchise if they start coming out with frequent Halo titles. Honestly, despite what they say, all they want is money. They're greedy bastards.

Halo is only Halo if it comes from Bungie. This is a sad thing indeed.

How can you be tired of him? He's been gone for more than three years now. There has been three consecutive games without him, it's about time he be brought back.

Why do I still post on a site that I have vested interest in and respect the developer behind? Hmm, I wonder.

They aren't ignorant judgments, they're my opinions--you know, those things people like yourself keep telling me not to tread on. I didn't come up with them based on these stories, because that would be foolish, but exist they still do. I don't like them for myriad reasons, their content actually being primary. But even if I ignored their content, and ignored my feelings about them, I would still be jumping the Halo bandwagon, precisely because I've got other things to focus on, my own game being primary--I don't have time to watch the series anymore. My feelings in this matter, essentially, are unimportant; I was merely stating my opinion, and saying that I thought that leaving the trend now was logical because we all have better things to do than watch this series drag itself out.

TMK, there wasn't a Halo game released 2008. 2009 had ODST, which ran almost totally off of the Halo 3 engine.

It's Hazard Time

This part of the "bad news" made my gamerheart cry, and reassured me to get a PS4 too next-gen :'(
"Kudos to Activision because they've done a good job building a good game, continuing to release each year and I think the fans feel like it's a good thing that they do that."

Unless Sony starts milking Uncharted, Killzone and Resistance there are at least a few good series left. And we still got Gears of War for 360, at least for the time beeing (we lost Mass effect, gears go next?).
Anyhow, Having a new Halo every year would indeed be competing with CoD, it would even need to be LIKE CoD. ODST, but with fast-paced multiplayer and perks instead of skill, a CoD-clone.
Then you have the real "Halo" games that are more like uncharted, great story, great multiplayer and take a few years between each game. Games for gamers, not casuals...

I know, they told us this ages ago!

Anyway, with bungie out of the picture, although i trust 343, microsoft are just going to f\/ck every thing up so that they can make more money, because the company is full of greedy mother f\/ck3rs!

Nope, he shot down any Reach sequels, if we're thinking about the same article/interview. Carefully pay attention to context.
