The Song Of Nephilim

Microsoft has announced that the Halo series has moved 50 million since its inception in 2001. It has also been confirmed by 343 Industries that the next titles in the series is also in early stages of development.

The seven games in the series sold 46 million units before the launch of Halo 4 in November 2012 (via Gamespot) meaning Halo 4 has sold around 4 million copies. The game earned $220 million during its first 24 hours at retail.

As far as a new Halo title is concerned, 343 Industries Frank OConnor has told CVG the team is currently prototyping ideas, software, and art. Microsoft has said previously a second trilogy in the Halo will be released.

I cannot say more than that but work on the game started actually before we launched Halo 4 and continues apace as we cycle staff through the team vacation breaks, he said. We are excited about the next game.

OConnor also said a second season for Halo 4 Spartan Ops is still up in the air, as the team is looking at how the first season does, before deciding.

Some things in this World you just can't explain; but that doesn't mean they are any less true, just that you have to chose to believe in them.

Halo is beginning to get iffy for me.. Im not sure if ill buy Halo 5.

I was hoping they would start working on DLC, and deal with other issues with the current game before they moved on.

That said, they could be taking the risk that they've lost a large enough portion of the fanbase from this game, that it might be better to try and win them back with the next.

Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter.

Cow. Get milked.

My Brahman is ready.

In case people can't read, the article states that Halo 5 has been in development shortly before Halo 4.

If you clicked on here to ignore my coup, why? Do I look ugly to you? Do I look fat in this dress or what? Jerk.

I can easily imagine Microsoft pulling an Activision by hiring another company to work on Halo 7 as 343i works on Halo 6 to get a yearly release.

Halo 5 better have humanity vs humanity.

It needs that darker edge to make me want to play the campaign after 4.

And I only have fun playing CTF on Ragnarok.

  • 12.06.2012 10:15 AM PDT

Love your friends, Die laughing.

I'm not sure if buying the next one.

Halo 4 is the only Halo game that I don't love.

At this point, who cares, give me Destiny.

Halo 4 was the best one. The next one will be out in 2 years. It's not like Call of Lemming.

It will not be yearly release clearly. Halo always has much more variety.

Dude What.

I swear you people jump to conclusions way too much.

"game being in development already! that means yearly release! confirmed halo of duty 5: the didact strikes back1!"


Halo 4 was in development for years before they announced anything about it. I'm sure it was the same for every other Halo. The only difference here is they actually announced it. Nowhere does it say it's a yearly release.

Is that what I was talking about? No. Again, jumping to conclusions. Look at this thread. Look at all the people assuming Halo is going to be a yearly release ONLY because they've announce that it's in development, which was obvious to begin with.

Not saying it can't. I'm saying there's no confirmation, so quit jumping to conclusions. It gets you no-where.

I think you are an idiot. A clearly big one at that. Halo 5 will not come out next November. It will most likely be going for next gen consoles. Just because they are in the "prototype" development does not mean OH MY GOD YEARLY RELEASE. That means they barely did nothing at all. They began experimenting character models if anything. No story, nothing.

Why wouldnt it? You act like copying COD is hard. Copy and paste it into a halo game and ship it out as Halo 5.

If you hate on rap it is simply because you are not cultured enough to understand it.

Didn't buy H4, likely won't buy H5.

At this point $60 can buy me 3 30 racks. I could have more fun for a lot longer with that than Halo 4.
