I don't think they ever did. Sure, Bungie did, but then Bungie is not involved with this anymore. The IP belonsg to Microsoft, and they said from the very beginning they were going to keep making them. 343 Industries was made specifically to do that, make more more Halo games. But Bungie is indeed done with Halo.Who Dares Wins said:
Exactly, I haven't played Halo Wars, but yes it counts I don't think it was a bad as people make it seemZeroMachine said:
that was not an ending! you can't "end" a series with "wake me when you need me". c'mon!vrbtny said:
Can't microsoft just let halo sleep in peace in its coffin instead of resurrecting it every other year like it is some zombie
its official, it was the last they say on the conferrence. halo 4 is anounced. bungie did draw a line, but microsoft certainly hasn't. i thought the remake is lazy, but this is just sad, is microsoft just so scared that they won't own soem exclusief so they just release the same one the whole time?
i though the cofference was bad, like no suprises at all. i thought tomb raider was impressive. i want to play gear, but the gameplay was nothing special. minecraft was a suprise yeah, but will it be so interresting as on the pc, knowing that its still a beta?

There are three sorts of ending. The Metal Gear Solid 4 one, where you tie up absolutely everything into a perfect knot(See ZP episode on it.)Elijah Ball said:
The Halo ending, which ties up some knots but leaves some hanging for people to speculate on, and have their own ideas on how the series pans out.
Then there's the ones like the first story in any trilogy, one plot strand is done up, but dozens are left undone to be concluded in the next installment.
Personally, Halo 3 got it perfect.... 'cept for killing of Miranda and Johnson. Damn you bungie drama department
And why the fuck would I not include ODST? And if we're talking games "set in the Halo universe" it would actually be the seventh, because even though Wars sucked hard it was still set in the Halo universe.
Not that I'm surprised of course, we all knew 343 was working on another one, we just didn't know how far along they were. But if they can keep it as good as the Bungie games it could be interesting, I just hope there's something knew in terms of gameplay. Frankly the series was getting stagnant by the end of the Bungie reign, as much as I loved Reach it felt dated.

Come on people there not milking the franchise.... There gang raping it with a mule...... To death
Could you perhaps enlighten me a bit? I never read the book, would be interested in a bit of knowledge outside of the games, though.Sniper Team 4 said:
Hmm... I never thought Halo was in any way finished as it's one of Microsoft's biggest franchise. If this new thing has a 4 in it's title it means there will be Master Chief and the Flood. It's about time, 'ODST' was an OK distraction, 'Reach' a terrible game in terms of dramatic pacing.
As much as I like the idea of making more games to explore the world and setting of Halo, I really don't like this. Reach did it right: Halo 3 is really the end, there's not much more you can do with the story after that. Prequels are definitely the way to go; there's like 20 years of the Human-Covenant world to explore, after all. As much as it makes sense for Microsoft to milk this cash cow, there's far, FAR better ways to do this. This isn't just greed, it's crass, stupid storytelling.
You've got to be shitting me... The ending to Halo 3 wasn't much of a cliffhanger, more like a way to get rid of him without killing him off.
I hate it when developers claim to be done with a tired IP only turn around and make anothe-

...Oh. FFs. Thank god for corporate hive-minds.
You can if the ending's main intent was to get RID of the main character simply so the series would end.Elijah Ball said:
I've played it, and I really liked it. After all, this was Ensemble's last kick at the can. I just had to appreciate that. Not to mention the story was pretty cool too.artanis_neravar said:
Ya know... Halo is absolutely boring to me. The same goes with CoD. There's really no emphasis on teamwork, you go around, pick up a weapon and shoot. The goals will be forever secondary to just going out, killing all attackers with any manner of gun, without anything in regard to strategies for the game.
You can't heal other players, you have a shield that is only stationary, you also get an individual jetpack...
Where's the options to actually have a team game in Halo other than driving people in a Warthog?

It's too early to judge I suppose, but this doesn't sound too good. Remember that other good franchise that had around 4 games and then got tossed to new developers? Oh yes, Silent Hill, one of my favorites. Notice how after Team Silent left they started to suck? I have a feeling that this will be the same with Halo.
Now, I would like to see what happened to Master Chief. He was drifting towards some weird planet or something. Perhaps he'll be stranded with no help to fight off hordes of strange creatures. That actually cool, Master Chief becoming sort of a survival guy.

Actually, yes, you can heal other players. In Reach, they added an armor ability that drops a bubble shield that heals any teammate inside it. There are other examples of using team work, but hey Just saying, not gonna try and convince anyone to like Halo, just thought I'd correct that point of yours.Gindil said:
OT: I dunno about this game. I mean, it could be cool, so I'll give these 343 guys a chance....but they aren't Bungie, the guys who made Halo. Historically, taking a franchise out of the hands of the original creators hasn't gone well. I hope this is an exception, since Halo is one of my favorite franchises, but I'm skeptic. Fingers crossed that it's good, and I will probably be getting it, but no expectations yet.
I'm not really surprised that Microsoft is making another Halo game. Why let that cash cow die? Besides, aren't they pleasing the Halo fanboys?
