Subject: If 343 Screws Up Halo 4. Its crushing a little piece of us.

Dear Humanity,
We Regret Being Alien Bastards,
We Regret Coming to Earth,.
And we most definitely regret that the corp just blew up our raggedy ass Fleet.,

Now i know, this maybe doesnt look like it should be in community but it should. If 343 comes in and screws us over with halo 4, halo 5, and halo 6..It will ruin the little memories we had of halo 1, 2, 3, ODST and Reach. They need to go out with this amazing game properly..The point im trying to make is what faith should we have in 343?

I have faith in 343i because Bungie said they cool.

I'm just wondering what they are going to do after the trilogy. It doesn't really seem like they're planning ahead very well. Creating a million Halo games (like Bungie said) won't keep them in the gaming industry for very long.

Have faith that they will make games that feature Master Chief.

Don't feel bad if they don't make games up to the standards that Bungie did. Bungie's 5 Halo games and the memories attached can never be desecrated. We'll just have to wait and see.

You don't need to give them any at all.

I, for one, however, will give them my support and hopes that they treat the franchise well. It's the work, and pride, of many people and I just hope they take care of it well. I think they can. I'm sure they aren't just a group of money hungry idiots over there.

As much as you don't need to give them any faith, I think it would certainly help to know they have a community behind them which is... well... behind them.

Halo 3 Mythic Conqueror #11
ODST Mythic Conqueror #2
Reach Mythic Conqueror #2
Halo: CEA Mythic Conqueror #1
Halo 4 Mythic Conqueror #1

You shouldn't be looking at Halo 4, 5 and 6 as a continuation of Bungie's Halo 1, 2 and 3. Imagine 343 is doing Halo from scratch. It may be canonically relevant but you shouldn't look at it in the same light as 1-3.

I give them faith. Its correct that alot of bungie story directors are over at 343i now?

Thank you Bungie,

See you starside.

Considering that 343s basically a bunch of ex-Bungie guys, I think it's in the right hands.

What you shouldn't look for, I think, is for the new Halos to be like the old Halos.

Change is very much on the cards.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Some. I hope 343 doesn't let us down. That'll be a devastating blow for some.

It's made up of less than 5 ex-Bungie guys as well a majority bunch of developers from elsewhere.

I'd rather them not plan ahead and for now just focus on the present (aka making the next Halo game good).

We haven't seen the true potential of 343i yet.

^ What this smart chap said. I will give them the benefit of the doubt until Halo 4 is released. As for me, Bungie's Halo will always remain unique in my heart and soul. Any Halos that will be released in the future will be an entirely new experience in my mind.

microsoft will publish the game and the developers are 343 industries. the thing that masterchief and cortana are going at is some kind of planet, some technolegy kind of planet ruled by new race of robots or its probably a machine ruled by new race of robots. there is new features of the armor and also who could forget the graphics. ya i do hope so 343 industries dont screw us on halo 4 and other halo games. just cant wait for the holiday of 2012, halo 4 will be my present. cant just wait for the new halo expierience on halo 4. and just one more thing who ever is a halo fan dont complain about cant beat the game its not the games fault its the gamers fault

"This is the prototype NOVA Bomb, nine fusion warheads encased in lithium triteride armor. When detonated, it compresses its fissionable material to neutron-star density, boosting the thermonuclear yield a hundredfold. I am Vice Admiral Danforth Whitcomb, temporarily in command of the UNSC military base Reach. To the Covenant uglies that might be listening, you have a few seconds to pray to your damned heathen gods. You all have a nice day in hell..."

From what videos I've seen with 343 staff I think they will do their very best with Halo.

I'm still hoping to play as an average marine or trooper

  • 08.05.2011 4:38 AM PDT

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

-Master Chief

I believe 343i can pull off Halo 4 they understand what to do and how to do it i dont think they will mess this up.

  • 08.05.2011 4:49 AM PDT

343 will make a good game, they have too. Halo is still one of the Xbox's best selling points if Halo 4 is bad or even average Microsoft has a lot to lose. The fact that Halo 4 will be on the 360 means that it has to do good or else the Xbox 3/720 will be less appealing. That and next years CoD will be the last to have timed exclusive DLC, MS needs Halo 4 to be great or they could potentially lose the entire Xbox brand.

When the game is over, the king and pawn go into the same box

I'm still a little nervous. 343i hasn't made much in the way of games, and this is going to be their first? (yes, I know people there have experience making games) I'll reserve judgment until there is actually something to base an opinion on.

One thing is for sure, I do not envy them. They are taking over an well established series that has some dedicated (almost ravenous) fans. All eyes are on them, and the fans aren't going to give them an inch of slack. Halo has been cornerstone for Xbox for ten years. Those are some gigantic shoes to fill.
