Halo 4

343 Industries are now the new developers of Halo and many of you may know that Halo 4 has been announced a few months back at E3.



As a Halo fan, I am extremely excited to see the return of master chief since the ending of halo 3 and since I heard about it I have been scouring the web for every last detail I could find. (i couldn't find much)

But here is what i did find.



Cortana will play a larger role.



Before Cortana was more of a side-kick than an influential character, but now Cortana will be playing a much larger roll with the knowledge she gathered on the flood when she was on High Charity and over the course of her life as an A.I.

They are also making Cortana "more Human" in terms of emotions. Many may already realize that Master Chief is the brawn of the partnership while Cortana was the brains but by making Cortana more emotional the developers are hoping to make more of a bond between the two.



Master Chief



As many of you may have noticed on the E3 trailer, Master Chiefs armor has changed, and in my opinion, for the better. Master Chief looks more Bad-Ass now, especially with gap of armor missing around his important bits, which kinda say's, "Oh, I know you ain't going to shoot me, because the moment you pull that trigger, your already dead!!! boo yaa". Im unsure if Master Chief ever said "Boo Yaa" in any point of his life, but i think he would be even more bad-ass if he did.



Not only his armor is changing but so is his personality (I hope he says "boo yaa"). Frank O'Conner spoke to OXM at E3 and said  "There's some story behind his new look... There are specific reasons why he looks the way he does and why some of his behaviours have changed. We'll see in good time."

I'm not an expert but who else thinks that he's going to get down and dirty With Cortana.... bowchickabowwow.




That's it really. In the whole universe, these are the only details from trustworthy sources I could find. But looking at these details alone you can tell there are going to be some massive changes in the storyline and maybe even gameplay (a shot in that gap will take even the toughest elite down on his knees begging for mercy).

Yes, it is sad to see that Bungie is not part of the future of Halo but dot fret, many of the developers have jumped ship and are now working with 343. HAPPY DAYS!!!

So what are your views on this and what would you like to see when Mater Chief makes his Epic return to our Xbox 360's and our hearts?

I only relised 343 didn't make halo wars... I fail... lol

Nice can't wait if this comes out

Wow, news of Halo 4 already? When did 3 come out?

Halo 3 came out 5 years ago lol.

Bungie isn't making it sad to say, I'll probably end up skipping the "next" trilogy depending on reviews.

"Reach will be the last game in the halo trilogy"
One month after.
"Hey guys, after we used up the money from Reach on pizza, beer and a fancy new studio. As well as we payed a random person to make a new poster for Halo 4. We'll release halo 4 as well."

Makes me wonder if I will ever see Halo 5. :/
I hope so! From what I've seen and in my opinion, Bungie is the ones making the best milking-cow (One release after another under the same title, call of duty is another example) games.

Bungie actually has nothing to do whatsoever with Halo 4/5/6. They washed their hands of the franchise. And Halo isn't a milking-cow operation (bar ODST, perhaps). 1, 2, and 3 were an actual story line. Whereas the CoDs are not a continuous story.

i hate halo reach it ban me for leven a game

How many games did you leave?

It only gives temporary bans to players who leave the games. And I for one am all for that system. People shouldn't just join and leave, it makes the experience shoddy for the other players.

But COD isn't as much fun... So little happens that is interesting or funny and you can get bored very quickly and a lot of the players online are dicks only caring about winning and not having fun . But for Halo every game has its moments of greatness. You cant say that when "killing spree" comes up it doesn't put a smile on your face. Also something funny and/or random happens every game you play... the proof is in the pudding ----> (I'm aware that this is not pudding)

Do not play games due to the reviews it gets. Most of the time the reviews are correct like for Duke Nukem but there are a lot of people out there who still enjoyed it (although I was not one of them). The ending of Halo 3 was left open for a reason, they did not want to see one of the greatest game series in our generation go down the gutter and in the future be seen only on the history channel. The only reason they left the series is because they want to move on and not only be seen for bringing us Halo. Bungie are evolving!
