O'Connor said that though the fiction is expanding both into the future and into the past, it is all moving the franchise forward. He noted that the team has decided to make all fiction canonical. However, he emphasized that while it isn't necessary to read a book to understand the story between games, there will be resonant connections that enhance the experience.

Im txgrim4 (Grim, Grimmy, Grimsta), i have been playing xboxlive for 9 years, evr since day 1 of Halo:CE til now. I love H2, that and Halo 1 are my favs. Im a Halologist when it comes to the Bungie/Halo Universe. Ive also played Marathon Series, ONI, and Myth Series. I live in Texas, Play Football, and cant wait for Halo 4!

Actually yes, other than G4, go to gamespot.com, look on there for comic con and they have live footage of it.

yeha if you go to the home page, scroll down a litle and click Comic Con (below "in the mix") click it and at whatever time they start the live stream, is when it will turn on.

Got to play the Halo Reach beta for my 23rd birthday sweet timing Bungie : D curry and halo = win thats what I did on my birthday!

I don't see a listing for a live stream for the gamespot coverage.

I know gamespot did have a recording up for the 2010 SDCC panel.

I just found this http://twitter.com/#!/DavidEllis/status/93876588919259137

Comic-Con does not allow the broadcasting or live streaming of panels, so we do the next best thing by liveblogging. from the live blog on http://www.g4tv.com/comiccon-2011/panels-and-live-blogs/HaloP anel/119/

EDIT:Frankie is completely right,that's why those who don't understand the story think it's milked while we know the story isn't milked.

Read the Live Blog; he says all things in the Haloverse will connect with Halo's new story.

Looks like Traviss is writing Halo 4; she talks about writing the story for it.

I don't think so. I think that Glasslands will have some kind of
tie to Halo 4

True, true

They also made a mistake; Karren was referring to Glasslands, not H4.

  • 07.22.2011 11:51 AM PDT

(sigh) yo chill the -blam!- out! obviously its a sequel but when they mean it will serve as both, i am pretty sure that they mean that it will have stuff in it to reveal stuff about the forerunners and precursors, maybe flashbacks or playable cutscenes! but obviously from the trailer with john waking up, it is a sequel because i am sure we all saw the legendary ending.

please try not to take -blam!- so literally! it annoys the -blam!- out of me.
