Subject: So there's going to be a halo 4.....

I just picked up XBOX 360 Magazine today, because it said there was a halo 4 in the making. I'm sorta scared to think how it will turn out because of the fact that 343 Industries is going to be making it. I know that they have Frank O'Connor who I guess is going to be heading the project, but I just don't know if I can get to excited because it's not going to be Bungie who is making this installment. Do you think they'll be helping 343 Industries in making it? I mean halo is Bungie's baby and I don't think they'd just kick it out and let someone else take care of it.

Am I the only one worried that this could turn into a disaster?

OMG a Pwny!

It's just a rumor, don't get too excited. People are getting worked up about things that were said a long long time ago. We all knew that eventually it would happen.

343 will do fine, it consists of people who helped build, supported, and deeply love Halo.

Halo CE, Halo 2, and Halo 3. Best games in the series. Wow, amazing that you didn't know that, he gave us the weekly updates back then, actually told us what changes were being made and such.

Director = Development Director

I see them as the same thing, so if you claim it misinformed, that's you're deal. Besides, he invented Master Chief.

I didn't realize that they had that much talent in their staff, all that I've really known them from was Halo Wars. I haven't done much research on them.

They didn't make Halo Wars....LOL. Ensemble Studios did. Besides, Halo Wars wasn't bad, I liked it, very addicting.

Hmmm I knew Ensemble Studios made it but I also thought 343 had something to do with it. Sorry.

I heard somewhere that a few staff came from there, maybe you got something mixed up or such.

The case says 343 Industries on it. For the life of me, I can't remember how they were involved in the game itself. But they indeed were involved.

Seriously Oak, Ive been doing this -blam!- for 16 years, gimmie my Friggen starter Pokemon and dont call me till im the champion! ¬_¬

I know 343 will, mainly because their devoted to the series and also cus their directly under contract with microsoft, and theyre never gonna let a cash cow like halo go unmilked, their worse than dinsey :P

But i remember frank o connor quoted at comic con "I think we'd have to be the biggest dicks in the universe to leave that cliffhanger unanswered"

Frankie wasn't on the scene till Halo 2, my friend. Same as Joseph Tung, the lead producer for Halo: Reach.

Only some few Bungie employees, like Shi Kai Wang, artist, Martin O' Donnell (You know what he does, why go on explaining?), and Marcus Letho, art director (Main director for Reach though) were around at the Halo: CE development stage. Anymore than that, please enlighten me.

Mojeda, you're pretty wrong on all accounts. Frankie didn't come around until Halo 2, he was Content Manager, and he invented Mister Chief. He did do a lot of work on the fiction and other side things.

There are only 3 known ex bungie employes at 343,the rest of them are skilled people who absolutely love Halo

And look at their jobs:

They ask for skill,and i love it.

one of the most important people at Bungie was Greg Kilpatrick (or something like that), who wrote the story for the Marathon games AKA the best sci-fi story ever.

But he left before Halo started, i think. i wonder what became of him

Frankie came on during Halo 2. Only a few people have been with Halo from the start.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

It's just a rumor, but I personally think 343i will eventually come out with it. Yes, I'm a little worried, but I think they know that they need to make a good impression. Therefore, they'll probably step up their game.

I guess...but I don't have the money to buy a whole new system. So, I hope it's on the regular 360, as well as the new console. (If they come out with it. lol.)

the comeback kid

In past Halo games, 343(the group wasn't made yet but some people from it)was keeping track of the canon and the games and sooner or later, they were thinking of getting other developers making Halo games, and after the revolution of Bungie splitting from MGS they knew they needed to make another group to just focus on Halo. Frankie came to Bungie around Halo CE-Halo 2 and became(with Rob Mclees(sorry if I spelled it wrong) and Joe Staten) the writers of Halo. And now he is kinda one of the heads of 343 and people from Bungie went to work at 343. So some people at 343 know what they need to do to make Halo awesome, but they still need people like Luke Timmins,Paul Russell(he might be there already, I don't see him on the meet the team anymore),and Christopher P. Carney(the architect/multiplayer designer/guy with the tutu)to at least become the advisors of the game(pretty long, huh?).
