Only a year ago, Bungie finally admitted they were, in fact, working on Halo 3, and had been for over a year.
Now, with the release of that game still, in all likelihood, more than half a year away, rumors of sequels, "true sequels", expansion packs and secret features are circulating through the labyrinthine tubes of the Internet.
PlayThree is citing unconfirmed, unidentified "sources close to Bungie" that state the following:
RUMOR: Halo 3 will run at 1080p, 60fps. MS apparently wants this to one-up ths PS3's claim to being the only "true 1080p" console. Bungie is supposedly testing this internally now.
UPDATE: Frankie, aka Stinkles, has smacked this report down hard in the NeoGAF forum. His response? BS. Confidently written BS, but still BS. Thanks KP at HBO for the notice.
REACTION: One can see why Microsoft would want this, but the record for past Halo games is that they will lock at 30fps and walk the line where textures and effects are more important than resolution or high framerates. That the rumor specifies that the Beta won't be 1080p is just a hedge, meaning this rumor gets to survive past that point, whereas otherwise people might assume that if the beta isn't 1080p, the game won't be. After all, Halo 3 has had a lot of work done to it so far: geometry, textures, effects. If it wasn't all done with 1080p in mind from the start, can this be changed so late in the process? And if so, why doesn't it apply to the beta?
RUMOR: Bungie is striving to make Halo 3 compatible with Xbox 360 Cores, but may have to drop to 30fps in some cases.
REACTION: That makes little sense. A hard drive is of use for caching content, reducing load times. How it affects framerate is difficult to see. Why Microsoft would want to make part of their installed base feel like they are getting a crippled version of a flagship title just for the "1080p 60fps" on the back of the box is beyond me. People who want Halo 3 will buy it regardless of those numbers.
RUMOR: Halo 4 will be a launch title for the next next-generation Xbox in 2011.
REACTION: Doesn't Bungie want to do something else for a change? Isn't the whole idea in letting Ensemble and Wingnut work in the Halo universe to give Bungie a break, so they can move on from Halo?

I don't see why they would move on beacause if you have dedicated employes that enjoy making the game their gonna want to stay on the project, and if they do why not. Beacause all their gonna want to do is make it even better than before. I guess it's pride ?

Ok this is probly the worst theroy that i have heard for Halo 4. You think that out every possible planets that Master Chief could crash into it would be the Brutes home world, That would be very unlikely. There is a better chance that he could crash into a flood infested planet and have to get away from it. Or he could crash into a Forerunner planet and the Forerunners try help Master Chief off their Planet, but they are fighting a Flood infestation and they are losing so they try to stop the infestation from spreading and they try to activate the rings, but they cant because Master Chief destroyed the ark. So then the Forerunners want to rebuild the Ark. But the Elites are desrtoying the rings to prevent the Covenant from coming back into power and activeing the rings. So while the Elites are destroying the rings they find the forerunners new Ark being built. And remember the beacon that Cortana dropped, the UNSC recive the beacon/SOS and goto find the new Ark and MasterChief.
I have also heard that there is another Halo game that takes place before the events in Halo Combat Evolved. I belive that it will be called Halo Chronicles. It will be about Masterchief in his early Spartan Training days, and the attack on Reach.
If you have questions with my theroy or ideas please email me at el_crayono@hotmail.com I will be happy to talk about the Halo 4 theroy more with anybody.

Not really. If you have read the books and play the games, you must know there's a lot of questions pending to be answered.
In a matter of fact, the newly book HALO: Contact Harvest is all about that. Some loose points are going to be tied up in there.
The same will happen in HALO WARS. And in the "HALO Project" from the Lord of the Rings master.

In reply to: Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?Halo 3 was unsolved because of the video of at the very end. The video showing master chiefs ship floating near a planet and a bright light showing on the other side. It doesn't sound like much but the music makes me believe there is something bad coming. Master Chief also said just before he got frozen, was to wake him if you needed him again. Just because of these two scenes at the end makesd me believe there will be a fourth halo.

halo 4 is going to have more references to the books than 3,2 and c.e

I know people buy Halo for the multiplayer but they could at least, you know, [i]watch[/i] the cutscenes.
To summarize:
[spoiler]That's not a pelican that crashes. It's Keyes' frigate, Forward Unto Dawn. The forward half of the ship crashes on Earth with the Arbiter inside. The other half has Cortana and the Chief in it, and that's where the Chief returns to a cryo bay to wait to be rescued.
Or for something else to happen.[/spoiler]

That wasn't a Pelican. That was In Amber Clad.
The ship split in half. The front half, the half the Arbiter was on, crashed in the ocean.
As for the Chief...
[spoiler]The half of the ship with Chief and Cortana didn't make it to Earth. We don't know where it is. But the Legendary ending shows them about to encounter some foreboding, Forerunner-looking spherical structure...
...but in any case, the Chief isn't dead...[/spoiler]
...so the Arbiter didn't kill him. Keep watching after the credits are over.

You're wrong. Bungie has said Marathon and Halo are separate; beyond that there are discrepancies in timelines and technologies that can't be reconciled short of a "and then they went to a parallel universe" device.

Please make sure you know what you're talking about before you correct people.
First, it's "Dawn" as in "Forward Unto Dawn".
Second, if you'd listened to Cortana in that scene, you'd know that she and the Master Chief are indeed still aboard the Dawn. The ship broke in two while traveling through the portal. The forward half, where the Arbiter was, made it through and crashed on Earth. The aft portion, with Cortana and the Chief are, ended up adrift somewhere in space, apparently far from Earth, and it's unclear where they are with respect to the Ark, or what the nearby spherical structure is.

Mainly to tie loose ends up.
I would really like to see a space RTS or "Sim" like one of Microsoft's earlier games Freelancer.
I mean what would be more fun than taking out a CCS Battle Cruiser with a battle group of 3 FFG Frigates, a couple of Marathon Cruisers and a carrier.

Actually, no I don't.
What people need to do is stop claiming that this vague extra few seconds of video means anything more than "and then they had more adventures, but that's another story" because that's basically what it is. Bungie has said Halo 3 brings that story arc to a close. And it does. Let it go.

He and cortana a relationship of trust and frindship.Drifting peacefully into the void of space after ridding humanity of its greatest threat. The master cheif is put to rest in a cryo tube in the middle of space drifting towards a planet that seems uninhabited.

It's a bit more complicated than that.
The guys who started up Bungie weren't in it just for the money, because when they started as a small Mac game developer, there was no money. There were no huge profits, no big salaries, no glitzy worldwide launches. They made several very high quality games before Halo.
So there are bound to be some at Bungie who are tired of Halo and would like to work on something else. If they have any pride and faith in their creative abilities, they are liable to think it's just as likely that they'll have a huge hit with some new game as they did with Halo.
From Microsoft's perspective as a publisher, sure: they'd love to see Halo games released until the cows come home. And now they own Halo, even though they don't own all of Bungie anymore.
So if there is to be a Halo 4-- or another Halo game-- will Bungie do it or not? If Bungie doesn't do it, will it be as good? If it's not as good, will it sell as well? Might it not sell as well just because people know it's not Bungie? Will a new Bungie game be as big a hit as Halo? Would people buy it just because its Bungie? Or avoid it because it's not Halo?
Even if you think money is the only consideration, the formula is not as simple. Franchises get get old and tired. There is a point where you can eventually make more money by letting something rest for awhile and doing something else, so you can come back to it with a fresh eye later.
I have no idea if Bungie or Microsoft agrees, but I think now would be a good time to let Halo rest awhile, at least the shooter portion of the franchise. We've already got Halo Wars and Halo Chronicles in the pipeline to generate cash for Microsoft. Bungie traded away their independence to Microsoft to get the resources to make Halo and a chance to mold the Xbox platform. Now they've traded away the rights to the Halo franchise to get their independence back.
Let's see what else they can do with it besides crank out Halo sequels. Because those sequels aren't guaranteed success any more than the original was.

Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?
In reply to: Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?ok this is just the last I landed on but there is one logical way, well might be more but anyways. Lets ask Bungie to ask the Xbox players to vote on it. 'Do you the Xbox players want us Bungie to continue the Halo series with Halo 4+' Just suggesting the question not from bungie. Heres another thing make some multi-player maps connect via highway or high speed train or something. Like Last Resort, use a ferry to go over to valhanel... I know that last map is spelled incorrectly. Also make one map like a racing map so that some people that like the racing feature might play Halo. More or less i like the puzzles, the riddles and the hidden skulls but why not put some of these features on the multiplayer levels. Well tell this gets commented on PEACE.

Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?
In reply to: Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?i think that all those sentinals leaving the ark are going to the planet onyx:[spoiler]to repair what the other spartans destroyed. It could also be that kurt did not kill all the covenant there so the master cheif drifts to the planet crash lands and discovers his spartans are there and he has to kill the covenant to get to his spartans. After he wipes out the covenant and rescue his spartans he returns to earth and thats the end of the halo trilogy.[/spoiler]PS. I Really really want there to be another halo. : )

Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?
In reply to: Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?Yah man I know! I once again agree with you somewhat on your theory of what could happen for a new halo game as I have with others. I'm also psyched about Halo Wars! Check other comments about this stuff. Some are good. Check one that has -----Aircard. I posted comment on that. Some are good.

halo4=marathon
In reply to: Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?I have herd rumors that bungie will remake the marathon seires. If you whach one of bungie's vidocs, thay say in halo 3 you will finish thes fights started in halo 1 and halo 2. if you noticed all the references to marathon in the halo series and the fact that marathon took place after the halo events... i'd say there wont be halo 4, but you will start a new fight in marathon. end of the halo trilogy, start of a new one.

How do you know that? Nobody knows where she went or why, and she only took one Spartan with her. She might be in huge amounts of trouble by now.
I tend to stick by my guns that most of the novel content is deep backstory and not intended for inclusion within the primary (game) story arcs. But if Bungie wanted to introduce Halsey, explain her significance, and make her rescue a mission objective, they certainly could.
[spoiler]Heck, it might even be a way around the issue of Cortana's death. Since Cortana basically IS Halsey, John could simultaneously save her as well as discover whatever it was that Halsey has found out. Whatever that is.[/spoiler]

Have you ever read the book "Ghost of Onyx" she has more than one Spartan with her, in fact she has three Spartan2 and some number of Spartan 3. If any one is in a huge amount of trouble, its the poor basterd who trys to go after her.

Re: Hope there is an ending
In reply to: Re: Hope there is an endingAs I agreed with others and put my views with Cortana hinting to it could be awhile before anyone finds them I doubt if more Spartans would some how have survived and they all team up and destroy the brutes, but, I do think that it would be at least somewhat cool and prove for an interesting story.

In reply to: Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?[quote=Anonymous]I think Halo 3 was vary open ended and in several ways. If Bungie does make a Halo 4 they need to end it with questions left unanswered.[/quote] i agree with you so much just make it or tell us ur not

Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?
In reply to: Re: Halo 4 Rumors... Already?Halo 3 was left with a few questions unanswered, like the planet in the background in the end cutscene of the Legendary Campaign. But also, if Bungie are going to make a Halo 4, it would most likely be a sort of flashback sort of game, because the players who have completed all Halo games, from Combat Evolved - Halo 3, have seen what Master Chief can do, however, at no stage in the games, apart from the TV commercials, that had 2 children laying in the grass at night, did it have a background story. A history, if you may. They would probably have random cutscenes during the game about Master Chiefs history, where he was trained, how did he end up to be half human half cyborg, ect, ect.. leaving the only question left unanswered is, when is the next game coming out?
