I'd say they don't want to answer one way or another, because then they'd be committed. If they said they were, then they'd have to make another Halo or they would risk mass rioting world-wide. If they said they wouldn't make another Halo, they'd still risk mass rioting world-wide, but if they ever changed their minds then it might be harder to do so already having said that they wouldn't. Of course, after Halo 3, a Halo RTS would be VERY interesting *cough* *hint* *sneeze*.

I do not want them to announce they will be working on another Halo title after Halo 3. I just want to know if they are completely abandoning Halo and never making a Halo game. All I want to know is if there is a possibililty in the future for another Halo game.

If I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, and good nite.

How can people be so dumb and greedy to ask for a fourth installment? Jeazal peats! Man up and accept the fact that some things come to an end. Until then be uber numb w/ excitement that there's a third game coming out not to mention one helluva movie.

Yes it is a final. Note the word "TRILOGY" written all over anything Bungie has written recently?

Can you just say yes or no. You said it was the conclusion to the story arc, but there could be more than one story arc. I am upset if this is the last Halo game, as it is a very good game with excellent gameplay concepts. Seeing that as one of the first lines in your update made me think badly of Halo 3, as it would be the last game. (I'm sure it will rock because [no im not a Halo 2 hater] you guys make excellent games) Sure, we could get a new game from you guys, but after you release a new game would you make another Halo or abandon it? Thanks, if any response





Just let our good friend Logic answer the questions for you.

Logic says: "Halo is the biggest brand for the Xbox and a nearly fool proof revenue stream for the microsoft home entertainment division. It sells more Xboxes than any other game on the Xbox. It has also been the best selling Xbox game of all time...twice. The Halo series has by far the largest following on Xbox Live and has brought more new members to Xbox Live than any other game. The brand is so profitable it's like printing money. Even a moron in a hurry can recognize the power of the brand to generate reliable revenue streams with each release. There is no way on God's green earth that Microsoft will allow Halo to be abandoned after only 3 releases as long as it driving Xbox related growth. The day the Halo series is retired is the day that Bill Gates decides he hates money and winning."

Microsoft isn't going to leave the top-selling game of all-time to just quit at three. Halo 3 will be it for a while, but don't count another game out.

Haha, you SERIOUSLY believe that Microsoft is going to abandon the Halo brand that has managed to generate hundreds of millions in revenue in direct sales on associated console sales for Microsoft? You've got to be living in a complete fantasy world if you think they would even consider that. Only a complete and utter moron would look at a brand that has generated nearly a billion dollars in revenue through direct sales and associated console sales and say "Hmm...I guess we'll just end it after Halo 3".

No...way...in...hell

  • 05.15.2006 7:31 PM PDT

The life and world you see is just a cheery toped and sugar coated version. You know nothing of Hell. Unknown to you and everyone around you is that there is a war going on that you can't see. Now that you know, you are part of it. And if you are going to survive, your going to need to learn to pull the trigger.

i hope not, but i don't want to see a Halo 15. that would be too much

You know what they should make afterwards? Good, 'cause I don't either... (Really, I had some sort of witty, sarcastic comment to put there but... I lost it.)

You think George Lucas would stop a franchise that brought in billions of dollars?

Exactly! That's why he went back and made three MORE sucky excuses for Star Wars movies more than a decade after wrapping up the original Trilogy. You are just proving my point here.

Not only that, but he's been licensing the bejesus out of the franchise for almost three decades. Believe me, he's milked it for everything its worth. Just like Microsoft will do with Halo.

I guess you are right. I mean they've NEVER lied or misled about the future projects EVER. ;)

  • 05.15.2006 7:39 PM PDT

Not only that, but using George Lucas as a comparison is like apples and oranges. George Lucas owns the brand PRIVATELY. He's acting as an individual if he decides to end the Star Wars brand with 6 episodes. At some point, you have enough money that it doesn't matter and you can move on to other projects if you feel like it.

Microsoft is NOT an individual. It is a CORPORATION owned by millions of stockholders around the world. Like any other person that invests in equities, their only interest is in maximizing the value of their shares. Trying to compare the actions of one individual who controls a brand to a corporation that owns a brand is completely moronic.

Yeah, look at it this way. I bought an Xbox for Halo, I'm buying a 360 for Halo 3. Otherwise I would have bought a PS3. The 360 is advance enough to sell buy itself.

They really aren't going to tell you because they want to keep their possiblities open while not promising anything. I'm sure we'll find out something after Halo 3 is released. Until then, there isn't any real reason for you to be worried about a "Halo 4" or the like (Yes, I know there are only three halos in this trilogy).

oh come on the trailer says

" this is the way the world ends"

and "END THE FIGHT 2007"


Well maybe theyre going to come out with a Fall of Reach kinda game. So it would be, "Start the Fight" and its "FINISH THE FIGHT" not "END THE FIGHT"...moron

Thats the reason they said story arc... the story of the Master Chief will come to a close and you will find resolution in this game. That does not mean though Bungie will not go back and make a "Fall of Reach" game from someone elses perspective, or just show something completely random that has nothing to do with this story arc.

Help a brother out. Click on the referral link, sign up for a fun game, log in once for the next couple of days, then you never have to think about it again!

And yes. I understand how pathetic that is, but nobody reads these things anyway... right?

One of the last cutscenes in Halo 2 Master Chief also says "ending this fight", but they're is still a next one.

I believe that if they don't end it definitively with this game, there better be more books because this storyline is just way too cool to be ended at only 3.
