Subject: Halo 4 not developed by Bungie?

When I joined the core we didn't have any fancy shmancy tanks. We had sticks, two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon. And we had to share the rock. Buck up boy. You're one vary lucky marine.

343 industries is making the next three halo games. 343I has worked on Halo Waypoint, Halo Legends, the Defiant map pack and now Halo CE anniversary and Halo 4. I don't have much of an issue with their work on the Halo CE remake because in their podcast I learned they are not touching the original code, just the graphics and appearance. Also to clarify: They are using the same halo CE engine for the campaign.
What I do have a problem with is Halo 4(and 5 and 6). Bungie invented Halo. Even if some of the Bungie employees moved to 343I, the style will not be the same. Just they way they operate and synchronize makes the game what it is. I felt doubtful after seeing the Halo 4 trailer(as good as it was) and their map pack(343I, Certain Affinity).
On a side note: If Certain Affinity was the cause of my disappointment, then I hope that company is not involved with Halo 4 (No offense). Also, maybe I don't know what 343I is capable of.

Whoops...

I've had this doubt, and I still in some ways do. Yet the people like Frank O'Conner that have transfered from Bungie to 343i, who have had large influences on Halo 2 and Halo 3 (and will on upcoming Halo titles), I am sure will make the games true to the original feel of Halo.

I dont know... they looked like they did good with the halo 1 remake but even though the halo 4 trailer looked good i might be underestimating 343I...i hope they do realy well, you said they created waypoint, halo legends and the halo 1 remake and i like the idea of them creating halo 4 if they make it where you can take off your helmet, even more customization(your guy/girls face)and more, even more maps, even more variety, even better engine, oh and i saw what he chief looked at, maybe a shield planet like Onyx(learned somehow) also maybe chiefs face, and have Fred and Kelly.

If there never was a Master Chief from his squad Fred would have been him because he is the best besides chief and Kelly is a girl Fred.

I have put my trust in 343I i just hope they come through for me also what do you mean HALO 5 AND 6 because i just about died reading that...

Whoops...

I REALLY hope Master Chief's face is never revealed. Please 343i, never make that terrible of a mistake.

Actualy i agree with you they shouldnt show chiefs face maybe not even when he somehow dies if ever and i agree i think it will be better having people from bungie who had somewhat or a major effect on other halo games

The man at E3 before the Halo 4 trailer started said "dawn of a new trilogy". It's pretty obvious he meant Halo.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

I heard it was a 3rd party CGI trailer.

They rarely ever do the source material justice.

With a few exceptions, such as the Starry Night TV ad [super-awesome] and Neill Blomkamp's live action take of Halo.[Although not CGI, had elements of it, third party still.] and a few others.

Most of the recent Reach advertising campaigns have been lacking in scope compared to these.

343 is like a bunch of hardcore halo fans getting together to start their own Halo games. 343 rules and I really think they are going to make Halo4 have that CE 'feel' that Reach was suppose to have but didn't

cool that sounds better so i think they will do well if they get it right, which they most likely will.
