Poll: Halo 4 poll

[DirkGently]

It has been stated time and time again that Master Chief will be in no more Halo games.

Quite fucking true. The slight problem is that Bungie no longer owns the Halo IP. While I sincerely doubt that they will make another Halo game, Microsoft is another thing entirely. I am curious if by Halo IP they just mean the things relating to the published games/media, or does it include the entirety of the Halo Universe that Bungie has cooked up?

It would give people something to do instead of being bored.

I played halo 3 on all difficulties and I say it left something to be desired. Also, with the addition of Forge in halo 3 I think they could have been more...well more. I also love halo too much in order to let it die so soon.

HALO MUST LIVE!
(now as for the story line....)

 

[Yegargeburble]

The next to last thing I want to see is Halo 4.

 

[TylerC]

Halo needs to just die, end of story. It was fun while it lasted.

 

[Cinder Block of Oppression]

Don't care. It's pretty much a bunch of solid FPSs, and another one wouldn't do too much harm, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if there wasn't one.

 

[DeusFps]

As long as millions of people will pre-order.. Then there will be halo games.

 

[Programmed_For_Damage]

I'm confused; if you could care less, why generate a poll around it?

Anyhoo, as much as I like Halo I say no. I don't want to see it getting rehashed over and over again like Mario.

The Halo franchise can fuck off and die. I didn't even want there to be a repeat of the shallow dross of halo 1, and i definitly don't want a repeat of the even shallower halo 3

Wow, did Halo personally come to your house and spit in your face? If you don't like Halo, you certainly didn't need to play the second and third games - I assume you didn't. So what's the problem?

I think a lot of people seem to confuse "popular" with "overhyped". The game was marketed more than most games were, sure, but as far as I'm aware, Bungie didn't break any promises with the game. Whether you liked the Campaign mode or not is up to you, but as far as I can see, Bungie delivered the goods. Now Halo 3 is not my favourite game on 360. It probably comes in around 6th or 7th, but going online, all one sees is bitching about it.
A thread was made on this forum asking what gaming series everyone would delete from gaming history. I wasn't actually surprised to see that Halo came out on top, because most people claimed that it had "destroyed the fps genre" and bred a wave of unoriginal Halo clones. However, if one gooes back to before Halo, you'll find that there was nothing particualrly special about those games. You had Unreal and Quake, two series that highly resemble each other anyway, Doom, and Goldeneye (plus many more, but these four are the main players) All I can see Halo is done is add new features (or perfect/refine) existing ones. Mellee attacks, vehicular combat and grenades worked better in Halo than any game I had played to date, and whilst its not my favourite game ever, I would say that a great disservice would have been done to games in general.

And if the game happens to break all sales records when it is released, then good for Microsoft, who cares? Only Sony.

Halo has out-lived it's short span of enjoyability.

The thread is asking for an opinion so i gave mine. It's kinda the whole point.

 

[laikenf]

I couldn't care less. Now if somehow the series went on a new direction (aside from Halo Wars) I could maybe care a little more, but as of now the world DOES NOT need another FPS.

 

[beddo]

Halo CE was an amazing game. At the time, fresh, innovative, the flawless co-op was it's best feature.

Halo 2 ruined the series. Halo 3 killed it completely. Please stop.

 

[blood77]

Halo... Halo... Let's all admit it, Halo was ok... It was not brilliant as a series (Halo 1 was brilliant but only until the 2nd made us hate it) , it was not awful. Halo gave FPS a nice new breeze, it didn't invent anything, but it was nice. The two sequels was godawful and mediocre respectively, but the story was ok and the multiplayer didn't change much.

Let's stop trying to hate Halo to death. It is here to stay.

Yeah its like a hammer, its nothing new but is really good at what it does.

 

[D_987]

It's virtually guaranteed. Halo is far too popular to just throw away.

So is "Friday the 13th". But just because millions of people love a thing does not make that thing good automatically. It is now just a cash cow. MOO!!!!!!!!

Its popular, so a new game will be released eventually - case - point : Mario

 

[Gormers1]

I like all of the three games a lot incredibly enough, but I must say that we have had enough now.

 

[DND Judgement]

do people not get that there will be no halo4.... and if anyone wants to bring up halo wars it's a fucking prequel... that means it came before....

 

[CIA]

GO AWAY HALO. SERIOUSLY.

Ok I confess I enjoyed Halo 1-3, they weren't the best games of all time, but I had fun while I was playing them. That said, each installment of the Halo franchise gets worse, and I'm afraid that with each consecutive release the franchise will become further and further removed from the Halo CE days of actually being afraid to fight elites and fleeing instead of slaying the flood.

Halo 3 was the end of it, lets move on and play something else lads.

I wholeheartedly agree. There should be fewer sequels in general.

Good show, that man! I whole-heartedly agree with you!
