Subject: Is halo 4 really neccessary for the franchise?

Next year will be release of halo4 to be added to the halo franchise. Many gamers are pondering on if a new "saga" is needed for the franchise. I mean bungie did say that halo 3 and halo reach were the last to the series. Butwhy does there have to be a whole new saga? What much is there to be added to halo i think after halo 3 and reach they were all that was needed in the franchise. so my question again to all you readers is " should 343 studies keep the saga going?

Why not?

It gives halo nerds more to experience from the series, and it gives us competitive gamers more of the best multiplayer on XBL. So long as 343 makes it well then I see no problem. And besides if 343 started working with MLG and made a good game then they will have a good partnership with MLG and bring in that many more fans.

Yeah, cause you're the only human on the planet who isn't enthused about something and wants to know how it ends.

Lol take it more personally please. Halo nerds refers to anyone who cares about the campaign, thats all. At any rate no matter what your situation is IRL if you come to these forums you are nerdy in some way, so try not to take things so seriously

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

i'm done with halo, i'm wayyy more exited for MW3 than halo 4.




i'll play halo 3 till it dies, but halo is already dead IMO.

There doesn't have to be a Halo 4 but for all the dedicated fans like myself it's nice to see what kinds of new stuff can be added to the franchise. I've played halo 3 and in the legendary ending chief just goes into the cryo sleep, that makes a very good opportunity for halo 4 because 343 or bungie could wake him up at any time so they could make all sorts of ideas for halo 4. So it will be fun to play when it's released I expect.

I don't see why people who actually care about the story-line have to be called nerds when people who buy halo and don't probably just buy it for the multi-player and gamerscore?

as I have already said, they are as much nerds as anyone who goes on a video game forum.

There are all types of nerds, halo nerds, cpu nerds, MM nerds, campaign nerds, CoD nerds, etc...

Stop taking things so seriously over the internet

For the continuation of the story? No

For moneiz? Hell yez

i dont think they should, but halo makes money and i dont think they will stop making halo until it stops making money.

but i am looking forward to halo 4, the trailer was epic!

Happiness is a warm gun

Very necessary, expecially after the blasphemy of reach. We need something more in the vain of H2, H3. With the return of freedom of movement, the BR, and the elimination of AAs aside from sprint, and re-vamping the equipment.

343 need to cut some gamemodes, and focus on one thing, creating GREAT multiplayer maps, which is something that reach severly lacks. Bring back some of the great weapons(BR, Carbine, Beam Rifle, Mauler) Bring back bleedthrough, and boom, we have an awesome game.

What much is there to be added to halo


Well done with convincing me you know nothing about Halo.

There are dozens of loose ends by the end of Halo 3, and Halo 4 was always inevitable from the final Terminal where Mendicant Bias states he's going to send John to the Forerunners as proof of his atonement.

Halo 3's ending would have been an awful place to leave the series hanging. "Oh look, he's gone into cryo on a ship adrift in space whilst Cortana slowly descends into rampancy."

If anything, showing the Legendary Planet and having 343 make Halo 4 was a mercy.

R.I.P. Halo 2 11/9/04-4/15/10
If you havn't played Halo 2 online than you are missing so much. Plus if you have played a good amount of Halo 2 online, I might have a better chance of listening to anything you say.

1. I would cry if Reach is the last because it is not good enough to deserve to be the last.

2. Halo 3 had the biggest cliff hanger ending in the entire franchise.

3. More Halo means more money.

4. Bungie stated Reach was the last by "them".

5. 343 will fix what Bungie has broke.

6. Why are you even asking this question?

7. This belongs on 343's forums at halowaypoint.

  • 08.10.2011 7:11 AM PDT

after that garbage reach yes. Halo 4 will sanctify that mess and bring Halo back to how it should be hopefully with the sotryline focused around the MC again.

I agree that halo 3 did finish the series well, but having read the books up to "Ghosts of Onyx," (halo nerd, I know) I am intrigued to see what will happen in the next halo from the trailer. If that thing in the trailer is Onyx, then the story looks all right, and the multiplayer, if it follows the example of 2 or 3, would be great, needs sprint though.

Urgh... so much idiocy in 1 post.

Firstly, Halo 3 finished off the Human-Covenant-Flood war, it DID NOT FINISH THE STORY AS A WHOLE. There are dozens of loose ends left and the final Terminal has Mendicant Bias tell John that he's SENDING HIM TO THE FORERUNNERS to prove he's atoned. That alone opens up the story for the next trilogy.

By "I've read Ghosts of Onyx", did you actually mean "I skim-read an article about it on halopedia"? It certainly seems so, because if you'd actually read the book you'd know that Onyx was destroyed.

Have faith in me

Yes, Halo 4 will continue the Halo Universe, but if you think about it, theres Halo 3, ODST and Reach. Yes, it would be very EXCITING to have a new saga or a new campaign but can it get any better? Halo 3 and Reach are CLEARLY the 2 best games made by Bungie and the most talked about games. I don't know if I would rather have Halo 4 or not. So the answer to your question ' Should 343 studies keep the saga going? ' I think they should. Yes, it does not need to continue but maybe its to make Halo better. You never know, Halo 4 may just be like another Reach or another ODST.
