Subject: Are you somewhat excited for 343's Halo game?

Even though it's not done by Bungie, I'd buy it. I'm actually interested about how they're gonna properly end Master Chief's story. Will we meet Forerunners? Will we get crazy new guns? New enemies? New anything?!?!

Halo 4 may look like a complete rip off considering how it looks like they're milking the franchise, but this game could be like Modern Warfare or BioShock Infinite. Same name, but it's exploring a whole different section of the universe. You got whole different stuff. Like I said, Modern Warfare. It obvious that the World War is kinda getting old so Infity Ward did a smart thing to move out of the circle they been if for years. Same with BioShock Infinite, everybody knows that Rapture has lost it's touch so now they're gonna make a whole new thing. May not be the best examples, but I'm pretty sure you get the idea.

Thoughts?

I'm sure I'll buy "Halo 4" as well, but I think I'm more of a bungie fan than a Halo fan. I'm more excited to see what Bungie has in store for their next IP. Regardless, if 343 keeps to Canon and doesn't do anything too rediculous, I'd like to see what they can do.

It's just a game people!!! Chill out and have fun.
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a dicerner of the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:12-13 (KJV)

Hopefully that is the case and they don't do something crazy or too far fetched.

Although it will be very difficult for 343 to mimmick bungie's awesomness with the Halo franchise, I'll give em a shot...but still a non-Bungie made halo will most likely not feel like Halo. Then again 343 could suprise everyone with an awesome continuation of the Halo series, or fail completely. I hope they don't fail completely. I'm hoping they do a good job and give us a good game.

Regardless I will still follow Bungie to see what games they release in the future...and just how long they'll keep support for H3 & Reach's Multiplayer.

I don't recall 343 anouncing that they wll be making a HALO 4 (AKA, a continuation of the chief's story)

Just because Frankie said they would be idiots not to continue it, dosn't mean they actualy are!

The chief's story could be continued in a novel, a comic, or a game.

343's next game may well be the start of a separate trilogy or whatever, not nesesarily about the chief.

Yep, as far as i am aware, 50% of 343 is made up of people from Bungie, and is headed by Frank O'conner who used to be head of Bungie, I think.

So, to be honest, Halo is in good hands :)

Frankie was only a content manager for Bungie.

which is why the first 3 halos had great campaigns and after he left reach's and odst's were dog poop.

can someone actually name the ex-bungie staff working at 343i? as far as i'm concerend, thats just a mtyh. I only know of 2 who are in fact ex-bungie employees working there one of them being frank.

I'm only seeing one other named Nathan Walpole. He's the only one I see with the title of formerly with Bungie on known employees lists. He's listed as the Head Animator for 343i.

i think they ended MC's story well. No need to continue. If they make the planet onyx, and make the story believable, then i might buy it. I just don't have much faith in 343. Especially since they said that they are going to try to release a game once a year. Activision took that root, and it didn't end well in my opinion. I don't want to see 343 drive the franchise into the ground.

Well, according to this, their definitely up to something.' It could be Halo 4 or... Halo: Reach ODST 2 (laughs)

This man, this man right here put it so eloquently that I actually cancelled my own 2000+ word long post.
/slow clap for respect

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

I am somewhat excited to see what 343 does with Halo, but at the same time I'm skeptical they are just trying to sell anything with Halo on its name.

The Halo universe is expansive, and full of fiction that hasn't been explored yet. Bungie, as a studio, wants to explore something new, and so they have decided to create a new universe. However, 343 Industries can still create something 'new', while keeping it in the realms of Halo. So, yes I am excited.

Places such as Onyx or Sigma Octanus Four have only been mentioned in the novels, never truly shown in the Master Chief Trilogy or any of the other games.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof.” – Psalms 46:1-3

I am excited for all things bungie.

343 has yet to prove themselves to me.

However, I trust in Frankie, I think he will deliver an epic story to us.

Quote/Moto:
"Animal's don't start wars, who's the real animals?"
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." - The notion that for every wrong done there should be a compensating measure of justice.

Even though I'd rather have Bungie make it I'm still quite excited for 343's for Halo 4.

  • 01.19.2011 9:18 AM PDT

Yes it is spelt like that on purpose.

I am still not convinced 343 is going to do a Halo 4. The Halo universe is vast and there are so many stories that could be told within it. 343 could be a little more creative than Halo 4. But yes, I am excited to see what 343 will do with Halo and hope they maintain the spirit of the franchise.

At the same time I am equally if not more excited to see what Bungie's brand new IP will be. I can only imagine what it will be about.
