Well, I'm willing to bet these will all be game adaptions of First Strike, Contact Harvest, or the Cole Protocol. Maybe each one in between each other within a reasonable space of time like 3 years. Remember, Halo Reach comes out in fall 2010.
Halo series to continue through 2015

It's quite funny how defensive your being on this whole topic, you act like people writing on a forum site will stop the production of a major game title, chill out. Also how do you know that we're outnumbered? Has there been a world wide tally? Do you even know the numbers? Those last questions were just me messing with you, but seriously a group of people stateing that we would like a game franchise to stop making games isn't going to stop the production of said game, so again chill. Also why can't we share in the fact that we would not like to see another Halo game, or that the franchise is beating the dead horse, while your aloud to say that you would like more games. It doesn't seem fair to me.ZeroMachine said:
OT: Op did you really expect anything less than more games?
I'm fine with this so long as the games don't become too samey, stale or just plain shit. Keep innovating, and I will approve.
point taken... if so, then why do they still implement these rules? I really don't think kids should play because of all the bad examples online, there was one 5 year old kid that was swearing, then again there was also some 19 year old dude yelling and whining about how we lost a match...HG131 said:

4chan posts.. ugh. 4chan is a cesspit.
Thinking about it, did you even read my post or just jump at the slightest bit of Halo dislike?
*I* read your entire post, or what there was of it:Textbook Bobcat said:
Nothing in it suggested any actual analysis. It used a few cliches in a not-particularly imaginative manner and asserted as fact an unsupported and rather overgeneralised statement. That it was also set in a derogatory tone didn't elevated it above its pedestrian origins.Textbook Bobcat said:
By the by, much of what we consider great works were generated "off the back of something else"... the Sistine Chapel ceiling, for instance, shouldn't be considered derivative hack-work merely because it recounts Biblical text verbatim in a different medium. Shakespeare wrote knock-offs by the bushel... most better than their originals, truth be told.
Your subsequent post with its idiosyncratic definition of "media" doesn't get you off the hook; in art, "media" can mean the paper (or whatever) art is rendered upon and the inks (or whatever) used to render them. (Pedant point; "media" is a plural term, so it should be "Media are better if....") Without further context, the intent of your usage was unclear. (Not that I accept it, but that's a matter of opinion.)
Hey, you asked.

I have no problem with expanding the franchise. But really, why does there have to be so many first person shooters in the franchise?
OK, first their was the trillogy. I'm fine with microsoft having them all the same genre.
ODST, I was like oookay...
With the announcement of REACH I'd say it would be pushing it (But then again that's the second halo game to be not made by Bungie)
Over all here is the list of Halo Games I am aware of (Only counting those released).
Halo:Combat Evolved
Halo Demo (Mac)
Halo Trial (Windows)
Halo PC
Halo Custom Edition
Halo 2
Halo 2 collector's edition
Halo 2 Vista
Halo 3
Halo 3 ODST
Halo 3 ODST with Johnson if you preorder it.
Halo Wars
Halo Wars with the limited edition wraith that you get for pre-ordering.

When expressing my opinion I don't make an overinflamed effort, with the goal of impressing the masses with how vast my vocabulary is. Unlike many I do not frequent the internet with the aim to convince myself my meagre existence is something more substantial. Speaking hypothetically of course.Anton P. Nym said:
It was my immediate thought, and thus it was expressed. Apologies for not applying bells and whistles.
Taking things out of context is such a good tool in an attempt to dethrone an argument isn't it?Anton P. Nym said:
Apologies for my coining the term media as an umbrella for radio, film, television etc. In future, for the benefit of people such as yourselves, I will not be an economist with my words and elaborate fully should their be multiple definitions to the same term.
I'm surprised you didn't use the other meanings, namely it being an artery (or part of, I forget which) to further the proof I am an idiot.
"Off the hook" is amusing, it was a further elaboration as the post I replied to confused me; being that it applied to nothing of mine.Anton P. Nym said:
"Media" is only justly so defined when the article in question is communicated, until then it cannot be defined as media and is a misnomor.
Regarding it being plural, there are some times where the English language ca be defined at user level (within reasonable constraints); such as "a honest" or "an honest".
And for the record, no I did not ask for an individual to come salivating at the mouth to flash whatever words show up on his calendar throughout the year: I merely stated my pity that books, etc are only entertained by the demographic in question if they are steeped in videogame origins.
While being the proud owner of all the Bungie produced Halo games (the limited edition versions notwithstanding) as well as Halo Wars, I'd like to think that the story has a few loose ends to tie up. However, there is such a thing as overkill, I think one more title to give some sort of ending to the Cortana/Chief story is enough.
I would hate for Halo to become a cash-cow, nothing is worse than milking a franchise because it generally results in the story losing cohesion.

See, this is your problem, you didn't make it clear what the etc. or the demographic are, and I hear "media" used quite often to refer to different ways of passing information, like books, radio, Internet, etc.-- if you haven't that's fine, but if you have you should've made it clear; you don't need to use "fancy" words but you should make your meaning clear. You addressed a lot of Steve's issues with your post but you didn't mention analysis-- what thought went into what you said? Things that don't seem to have much thought behind them tend to not be taken very seriously, and sometimes taking them seriously can cause issues.Textbook Bobcat said:
I do all the time as well as Final Fantasy. Those games as well should be stopped so developers can move on to something better, as what I am saying the same should happen with Halo now.The Political Gamer said:
theres plenty left to do. there are still like 5 other halo's with flood on them. there could be plenty more covenant, they might not have sent their whole fleet. the flood could return from outside the galaxy. then theres fore runners. plus theres the chief left drifting in space, the spirit of fire drifting in space and a bunch of spartans trapped in a shield world somewhere out in space.
