I'm a little worried. Halo 4 looks amazing, but is Bungie heading the project, or are they working on other things? I'm going to get it regardless because of the amazing legacy they built up, but is Bungie going to have anything to do with it, or is it going to be all 343 Studios?


Bungie has nothing to do with new halo games anymore. This game is being made be 343industries who do have several ex bungie employees however.

I hope they bring back clans in matchmaking and the old leveling system. The rankings in Halo 3 and Reach are getting old.

I guess I was unaware of the internet community, and its citizens excommunicated to the flood.

Don't worry. That was not a jet pack. Im guessing it was just some thrusters for control in a zero g environment.

Was that the voice of Jen Taylor and Steve Downes? I think I'm sure about Steve Downes as MC but not sure about Jen Taylor as Cortana.

  • 06.06.2011 11:45 AM PDT

Everyone wants to know. Is that broad Cortana played by Jen Taylor in the teaser?

Unreal, isn't it?

I am EXTREMELY apprehensive about Halo 4. I really feel that they should have just left it with 3 and Reach.

Trailer for Halo 4 was terrible, especially compared to the amount of work Bungie put into the trailers for Halo 2 and 3. It was really just awful. His suit looked terrible and it was just the average *things blow up, get excited!* deal. The only moderately interesting part was the huge forerunner structure, but even that has lost its wonder at this point.

The Halo remake trailer looked good. Well, it was just Reach graphics, so nothing amazing. I don't really see how it's worth it, I love Halo:CE how it is, even with the old xbox graphics.
And the visor is LOLTASTIC.

343 Studios have made a very bad start to a new trilogy, for a game series that many people already felt was past its prime.

-How could you say that if the story isn't finished.The war with the covies is finished,yes but there are more other things

-Personal opinion,i loved it.That suit is his new suit get used to it's looks.All Halo teasers differ from eachother
cause it all depends on the story.What else did you -blam!- expected in a Halo 4 teaser?Master Chief wakes up and chats with Cortana???

-Yes and no.The campaign runs on two engines,the old CE one and the new one.Only the 7 multiplayer maps run on Reach engine.

-It's a damn remake,what else did you expected?A new campaign?

-Epic fail,you did your homework...bad.If you actually paid attention to what 343 says,the helmet isn't finished yet.The finished prodcut will probably look like the new boxart.

-The only people who think the story is finished are the one who don't know anything about the story.I see no problem of the continuation of the story as long as the quality remains and so on.


I see you are just one of those who just loves to -blam!-,if you hate it then why do you care for it?

Unreal, isn't it?

You can drag on a story forever if you want. Plenty of companies do that, and it ruins the media. After this next random enemy, then what? The main conflict is resolved. The only way to 'resolve' the Master Chief's story is to
A. Kill him
B. Retire him
C. Leave him at the end of Halo 3.
I liked the end of Halo 3. Things don't have to be resolved completely, and really, they never are.

The trailer could have been so much better. Remember the Halo 3 trailer? It didn't have anything to do with how he got off of Truth's ship. It was much more well done than that. This one was just simple, lame, "I need you!" Wake up, Explosions, OMG FORERUNNER.

As for the remake. I really didn't ever feel it was necessary, or a good idea. It's a classic and it should really just be left alone. I'm sure many people will enjoy it, but it isn't worth it for me.

The helmet was pathetic. I don't care if it was just a trailer. It was so damn sad. It shows how little effort they put into the trailer that they didn't even recycle an older visor; they literally just put a blank mirror there.

I've played all the games and read the books, so don't talk to me about story. The conflict was the Covenant and the Halo rings, and the Flood. That conflict is finished. If 343 draws together the Chief, Blue Team + Halsey, and the Shield world arcs into an amazing story, this could be a great trilogy. But considering a large portion of the fanbase hasn't read the books, they will have to tell those whole stories in-game. If they don't do that, then they will be bringing in some new adversary or conflict, which is what I'm worried about.

I said I was apprehensive. I am uncertain as to whether another studio (even with Bungie employees) can deliver.

I am looking forward to Bungie's next project with great anticipation.

I am dreading the next Halo game. Maybe my fears won't pan out; I hope they don't.


"Set in the aftermath of Halo 3, Master Chief returns to confront his own destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe. Halo 4 marks the start of a new trilogy that begins with its release in 2012."
DAMNIT

No,remember Master Chiefs planned destiny?If you have read Cryptum,terminals or other Forerunner sources,then you know what the destiny might be.His story is far from finished.

The trailer could have been so much better. Remember the Halo 3 trailer? It didn't have anything to do with how he got off of Truth's ship. It was much more well done than that. This one was just simple, lame, "I need you!" Wake up, Explosions, OMG FORERUNNER.

Offcourse not because if the Halo 3 teaser was about the Chief jumping from the keyship towards Earth,then it's nothing special.However the Halo 4 teaser showed something special,and that's that legendary planet.Maybe you are suggesting that the teaser should have been taken place in the middle of the story like the Halo 3 teaser,but that would have spoiler alot wouldn't it.

I'm happy with it and most will agree with me.But i respect your opinion

As for the remake. I really didn't ever feel it was necessary, or a good idea. It's a classic and it should really just be left alone. I'm sure many people will enjoy it, but it isn't worth it for me.


343 did good as they kept everything the same.Many people would have complained if they added new weapons,new AI and other things in the campaign,but they didn't ,they stayed true to the classic campaign.I'm happy with it :)
It's also great for many who never played it and so on.

The helmet was pathetic. I don't care if it was just a trailer. It was so damn sad. It shows how little effort they put into the trailer that they didn't even recycle an older visor; they literally just put a blank mirror there.

No it's because the graphics weren't finished in time.It will be far better in the final game,that's what counts.

I've played all the games and read the books, so don't talk to me about story. The conflict was the Covenant and the Halo rings, and the Flood. That conflict is finished.

See you still think the Human-Coveant war is the only thing in Halo?I guess you read Cryptum,if you did then you know what direction the trilogy goes.
Covenant are out,it's time to reveal the Forerunner/Precursor plan or whatever galactic plan was made in those ancient time.

The Covenant=warm up ;)

  • 06.12.2011 10:43 AM PDT

Unreal, isn't it?

I actually didn't even know Cryptum existed lol. I found it after I posted. I don't really like what I read.

I liked how it was before, when the Forerunner were unknown, but certainly benevolent. Caretakers and such. I think I'm just personally done with the Halo story. It's over for me.

Lol

But seriously you should pick it up,it's a brillaint book.

Trust me,it will blow your mind away literally.

Mowin!

Great book.

I am looking forward to this one.

  • 06.12.2011 11:07 AM PDT

It could be great, it could suck. No way to tell yet. I'm surprised they announced it so early, though, I thought they should have waited a few years and kept the reveal more of a surprise. It just seems a little too much... "Halo 4-6"? I mean, they could have at least come up with a better name, so it doesn't sound so ridiculous. I'll still be playing Reach with the new maps when this comes out, probably.
