E3: Microsoft Announces Halo 4 (and 5, and 6)

[Worr Monger]

Reading this made me immediately think of the Saw films...

... is there also going to be cherry-on-the-top Halo 3D after the 6th?

 

[NinjaDeathSlap]

I'd still like to see some more spin off games (More ODST, more Halo Wars, maybe something where you play exclusively as the Covenant) but hell I don't care, I love Halo and no doubt I'll buy into this trilogy and the Anniversary Edition.

Here's hoping that 343 can show off some skill, and some good storytelling.

Now, a wave of hate!

I like the idea of a game played entirely as an Elite or something, as I really enjoyed The Arbiter's missions in Halo 2.

My response to the new Trilogy...

Please don't suck...
Please don't suck...
Please don't suck...
PLEASE DON'T SUCK...

 

[necromanzer52]

Despite the fact that I knew this was coming, I'm still pissed off.

Halo 3 had a perfect ending and now...

 

[Sixties Spidey]

At first I was upset, now I saw the trailer and I'm super-excited. Please God, do not let them milk this trilogy on a yearly basis.

Also, did that portal look like a Mass Relay to anyone?

 

[omega_peaches]

IMO, the last good halo was ODST.

 

[Amondren]

Don't be a rail shooter, Don't be a rail shooter, Don't be a rail shooter! God if it is a rail shooter I'm going to throw my 360 out the window because I cant take another good franchise going down the drain after Fable.

 

[TheSaw]

I'm kinda looking forward to it.
The ending of Halo 3 left me hanging.
But I do agree with others that 343 is trying to get water out of a stone.

Im gonna be the bastard on this forum thats going to be different and say I'm actually excited for this. F*** the haters.

Finally, someone cool on this site

Thanks!
You're a man of good taste.

You have to admit at least they didnt call it
H4lo
I would have to kill them then.

Disgraceful.

(Fine fine, more than one word: This is just sad. I've never been a huge fan of the Halo series, but I thought the ending to game 3 was good. But no, there's money to be had so lets desecrate the corpse of this franchise!)

The bold pretty much sums up your post.

As a fan of the series, the 3rd left it purposefully ambiguous. I can't wait to see what this game is like and I'll be buying it.

If you don't like it, don't buy it. It's that simple.

I'm... not... alone...

I swear, I feel like I need to retire from this site. Too many people needlessly bash Halo and CoD, and act like they're cancer simply because they make new entries to the franchises.

The word "milking" should be a ban-able offense. Who the fuck cares if a company milks a franchise if the games are good?

 

[darthricardo]

Alright, just gonna do some copy-pasta from the accidental reveal here...

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.

Still relevant here.

He didn't have a jetpack in Halo 3, who upgraded him!?

I agree it didn't have the cheesey happy ending.

 

[Mike Laserbeam]

Huh. Watching this trailer has made me realise, I am sick of the Halo franchise.
They can do what they want, but I'll have no part in it!

You played it? I didn't realize it. Please, explain the story and how it's crass and stupid to me. I'd love to hear what happens.

That is, if you know and know that the storytelling is bad. If you don't, though... well that'd be just silly of you to call it that, wouldn't it?

Don't make assumptions.

Wow Chief is sure wide awake from his cryogenic sleep. I wonder just how long he had been alseep for?

My thoughts exactly. The people bashing COD and Halo for being "milked," may have point... just not a very good one. Who honestly cares if the games are "milked" if they're good?
