Of course, Halo Reach will be the prime Halo game(other than the CE Remake rumor) for the next 3 or 4 years due to DLC and user content. Now, 343 Industries, who Bungie has passed Halo onto will have a split path to choose.

One option they have is to make another prequel or spinoff to the series like these:

Halo:Noble Team - Noble Team before Reach OR Noble 6 backstory.
Halo:The Covenant - Halo in the shoes of the Covenant
Halo:Helljumpers - More ODST action; maybe follow spec-ops ODSTs present in every major battle.

If you have any more ideas or comments, please post.

The other option, also the more likely one, is to continue Master Chief's story, which could happen in several ways. How? Look at the facts. I also put in some what-ifs.

-Humans never found all the Covenant homeplanets.
-Flood are still out there.
-What if the elites betrayed the humans and formed a New Covenant led by Arbiter?
-What if Master Chief's luck keeps him alive somehow?
-What about the corrupted AI still out there (AI army?)
-Sgt. Johnson jacks some ship and gets of Halo.jk(Go Sarge!)

These are just my theroies of course, but 343 holds the reins and will hopefully keep Halo fans and newcomers to the series all interested. As I said before, post your speculation and make sure to fill in the poll.

I'm frickin working for Bungie someday!

Any one that completed halo3 on legendary or watched a video about it online would know that Master Chief survived in the other half of the ship and is somewhere floating in space with cortana. The humans did not discover all of the Covenant homeworlds and there are probably many of them that still exist outside the the area of effect of the halo rings where flood exist (somehow without gravemind) and Covenant. The master chief was teleported who knows where in space outside the rings and outside contact from the rest of the covenant which means that the elites wouldn't know about the human/elite alliance. Master chief will land on a planet with uninformed elites that will likely attempt to kill him. the downside to this is that the story has went back the beginning with the chief fighting elites for the same reason now without any assistance from marines. the upside is that 343 can do what bungie did in halo reach and create new aliens, weapons and vehicles, which opens an unlimited number of possibilities. There are a few complications... like how do the flood still know what to do without gravemind who is now dead and was the one controlling the flood? Do the flood go rogue? And even though the covenant here are cut off from most communication with the rast of the covenant, how will they be able to continue their campaign here without the prophits? are there more Prophits or different leaders?

While I hope that 343 continues with Master Chief's story (( i wanna know what happens next !!!!! )) i think that perhaps some insight to noble 6's previous missons would be quite intresting and would most likely having the player fighting insurrectionists and not covenant, so it would be a nice change of pace.
But i personally thing it would be amazing if they changed gears and went with the marines (( or ODST's again )) point of view on fighting the Flood. Somthing like the story from "The Mona Lisa"

I'd say remakes of Halo 1 and 2.

Halo 1 next, and then Halo 2. Image Halo 1 and 2 for Xbox 360... LIVE up and running again in Halo 2... remastered graphics...

It would be amazing. I'd want Halo 2 to be remade before Halo 1.

Mind you, Halo 1 had the most epic campaign.

I just got a heck of a plot twist. According to this page on Halopedia, The Forerunner had power suits at least 5x stronger than MJOLNIR armor. Now what if the Flood corrupted and controlled these? They'd have the strongest arsenal in the universe.

"You dead yet? No? You will be!"

"How you like them pears? Guess what I mean by pears."

"I'm gonna rip off his partridge and kick him in the pear tree!"

Someone needs to make a Halo based on the Battle of Onyx and the First Battle of Harvest.

Oh my god, why did I read these?! THese are the stupidest, most unlikely ideas of all time. YOU -blam!- SEE JOHNSON DIE. Why would arby betray the Humans? What reason does he have? THE FLODD ARE -blam!- ALL GONE, END OF STORY, NO "BUTS, IFS OR MAYBES".

Get over it.

H4 will prlly be some stupid spinn off, just like every halo since H3. Four years, still no core series release.

it is true that forerunner suits were more advanced, but all of their technology is lost and even if the flood were to find it, what would they do without gravemind, the one who controlled all of the flood?

i do agree with you trussingdoor. most of the ideas are very unlikely because they're almost completely impossible, but i posted my idea because it was something that bungie was actually thinking about doing with halo 4 before they decided to make reach and sold the rights to make halo to 343

The next Halo game is most definitely Halo HD Live.

If there is a Halo 4 in production we wont be seeing it until Karen Travis's books come to the surface (Ghost of Onyx/Halo 3 Sequel Books), and most likely only after Greg Bear's Forerunner Trilogy is completed.

What would be the reason for that? It does not make sense on so many levels.

Personally, I think Halo 4 should be the launch title for the next Xbox. It would be like Halo CE being the launch title for the first Xbox, the very start of the series with Halo 3 concluding on the 360. 343's brave new frontier would be on the next one.

Also, there's no evidence of a remake of Halo CE.

This is the best evidence I've seen so far:
http://www.joystiq.com/2011/02/04/halo-combat-evolved-hd/
Its definitely not concrete but sounds promising.
Though upon reading it apparently its not being made with the Reach engine, nor by 343 Industries.

Also this is where Halo HD Live rumor started. From a E3 2010 show listing, prior to E3's opening which proved to be either fake or changed. http://www.haloreachplanet.com/2010/05/09/rumor-halo-hd-live/

We'll see at E3 2011! Har har!

Not concrete because it's just Joystiq's word for it, no source to be cited.

Having just gotten my xbox 360 (I know I'm hella late! But I didn't have the money so I won the slim kinect bundle from the radio station for Christmas), and just picked up Halo 3 since I have 1+2... I think the series should continue in the footsteps of Master Chief! I played 3 on normal not legendary but still got to see that MC was still alive in the other side of the ship with Cortana. The fact that she was able to get him into a "stasis" pod until someone finds him... eventually could lead to the movie that most if not all of us want to see! If not a Game/Movie combination release effort! The studios have been wanting to capitalize on the whole MC Halo gameline, and Microsoft can't let it's prize pig go out to slaughter, so why not do a 1st of it's kind release?!


Design the gameline where Master Chief has been found in the wreckage, decades later(after earth has been rebuilt and re-established) while a standard "Medical/science" vessel is scouting out this barren area for study. They retrieve him, revive him, and as he comes to, he starts to realize... This vessel has both humans and elites on it, working together.

For the rest of the story and details contact me.

But the idea would be one of 2 options:
simultaneous release of HALO GALAXY
in the form of a movie that starts the storyline and the game continues/finishes

or

The game and movie follow the same storyline(of course the game would have more details and storyline in it that the movie couldn't fit into 2hrs)... But of course this leaves the ending out of the story, the way I've imagined/written the story going. Which of course means there's at the least a HALO GALAXY 2 on the Xbox system if not in theaters too!
Die hards would be best served of course because when you buy the game at the 12am pre-release or fully prepay for a reserved copy you get A free ticket to go see the movie that opening Weekend before you play the game!


PS!
as far as casting goes, just find someone who fits the body description and is good at performing the stunts, because that helmut is not coming off! All you gotta worry about is costume design, body type, and voice overs/or the right actor with the right voice like Kurt Russel or Dennis Quaid. Plus their bodies work for the shape of MC! At most you have MC taking off his helmut for a shower and to change/update uniform/armor, but his head being shot from behind the whole time.

I think, whats next for halo, is there might be a new alien race found. I mean there was the covenant and forerunners, maybe theres "something else".

The Elites would NEVER EVER betray the humans. After probably a billion lives on each side was lost, they wouldnt want to kill each other.

My next idea for halo would be to introduce a new enemy. Not brutes although keep them, something like another main enemy like elites and brutes but fighting brutes was boring on my part. With a new species the covenant could still live

I am suprised so many people thing there will be a Halo 3 continuation. If there was I wouldn't play it. To me the story finished there. It would be interesting to find out what happens after Halo 3; to the Chief, and how Humanity and the other races recover, what happened to the Insurrectionists? But would they really need a whole game for it?


-Humans never found all the Covenant homeplanets.
-Flood are still out there.
-What if the elites betrayed the humans and formed a New Covenant led by Arbiter?
-What if Master Chief's luck keeps him alive somehow?
-What about the corrupted AI still out there (AI army?)
-Sgt. Johnson jacks some ship and gets of Halo.jk(Go Sarge!)


-The Humans never found any of the Covenant home-planets. They were to busy defending themselves from the Covenant than trying to invade their own planets.
-How could the Elites betray the humans if they left to their own planet after the war.
-It probably will. So what?
-They already have Marathon for that.
-That would be awesome, but what would be the point? What comes after that?

"I... believe I understand, sir," John said. "But which was it on this last mission? Lives spent? Or lives wasted?"
Mendez turned back toward the blackness of space and didn't answer.

I would personally want to play through what happens in Wolverfrog's
Halo 3: Insurrection.

What would be the point of keeping the 'Halo' title? And then in that case, it wouldn't be Halo at all. So why not just make a completely different game?

Halo: Onyx Zone 67

You are a split off squad of spartan III's and youre objective is to escape onyx.


If you have read Ghosts of Onyx you would know that there was squads of spartan III's split up after the attack.

I am a practicing traditional Catholic.

I think they're going to continue Master Chief's story. 343 have hinted at that.
