What's going to be the main enemy? How far in the future is it supposed to be from the last game? Is it going to be more Single Player focused this time or will it continue be a Multi-player focused game? AND WHY ARE THEY ON A SPACE SHIP!? Weren't they somewhere at the bottom of the ocean at the end of the last game?
You obviously didn't beat it on legendary difficulty, did you? =PWhatHityou said:
So many things wrong with this. Where did those rockets on his back come from? Why is Cortana using his name suddenly? Why are they continuing a finished story?! Halo had a good run. It doesn't need to keep on going. I suppose all we can do is hope that 343 studios are competent game makers.
Not judging right now. The trailer looks awesome, but then most trailers look awesome, so I'll wait until gameplay or story revelations.
And you know what? I'll probably buy it. I'm a fan of long running series until they completely destroy themselves and I'm not going to trust the internet's opinion on this one at all, instead I'm going to decide for myself. I have no idea what this new studio can do and for all I or anyone knows they could be the next Valve.
I've said in the past that I wasn't so sure about continuing the Master Chief's story but then I wasn't sure about continuing the story of Star Wars characters and I love the Expanded Universe until the Legacy of the Force books.
So my attitude to this is going to be the same as my attitude towards Lara Croft and Star Wars and The Walking Dead and the Marvel Ultimate Universe. I'll read/watch/play every installment until the one that blows donkeys, and then I won't get any after that without considerable incentive. (Lara Croft so far being the only one which has ever provided enough incentive and that took three years and a complete reboot by a new developer for crying out loud.)

I'm really excited for this game, and people saying that Halo 4 is being made to make money, no.
We all knew there was a possibility due to Halo 3's legendary ending.
Oh and the Halo 1 remake coming out in November shall also be awesome!
Fuck all thou that shall hate upon this game!

HAHAHAHAH! Yes, Halo fans! Now you will suffer as I have suffered! Having your favorite franchise abandoned by the developers who made it great and taken over by morons is like having a wolf eat your firstborn! Suffer! SUFFER!

This really isn't much of a surprise. Halo is pretty much one of the few exclusives Microsoft has left(Halo and Gears of War are all I can think of), so they're bound to milk it for all it's worth.
Halo 3 had the ending of the human covenant war but NOT the story of John 117 and Cortana. You can't end a series with that. I am genuinely exited for this game because I'm sure it will be a genuinely new experience but with familiar taste.necromanzer52 said:
it was alluded to in the novels given the spartans ability to manuver thier own bodies gracefully in Zero Gee, and would be the only way possible for the chief to have made the drop from a covenant super carrier to "In Amber Clad" accurately.dakaptin said:
It's sort of a fad right now, people are associating depressing endings with being more artistic than lighthearted ones.hurfdurp said:
Add to that the fact that many of the people writing these games come from the same generation that got "happily ever after" forced down their gullets at every turn so some of this might be the dam bursting for these guys.
I did think the end to 3 was pretty decent though. Rather satisfying in that he did what he had to do and was able to die with his work completed. I assume he died at least, apparently there was more to it than that, but whatever I was satisfied with what I thought happened and I rarely get an ending I really like so I don't wanna wreck it.
Except for the whole Master Chief and Cortana drifting off into an unknown planet...Ilke said:
What about that line from Guilty Spark "You are Forerunner!"?Chappy said:
That would seem to imply that a Forerunners were the ancestors of Humanity if not actually just Humans.
So fighting the Forerunners would be sort of bland. Since they would probably just be something like Humans with advanced technology... and possibly entirely just dead.
Although this is all speculation and I could easily be misinterpreting that line...

Oh good. A new company picks up a franchise after the original team left it to die and already are making the plot insanely contrived with the fact that it's a sequel to Halo 3 which was supposed to show THE END of the Human-Covenant war. Halo has now officially become the Sonic the Hedgehog of first person shooters.
