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 ?

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.

Halo has so many storys left in it, its not evan funny. Ok put it this way, halo story line is as if god him self came down and carved it out of stone. The big man up stairs made it so halo could never end. and why the hell do any of you non true halo fans think the story ends there. are you girls smokin crak or some thing. he gose in to the freezer. and at the end you see onyx, how the hell dose that tell you the story remotly ends. that right there my frinds is halo 4 new chapter in to its saga.

what next gen xbox? it took 7 years to meake the xbox 360 and they wont pump a new one out in 4 years, and further more, they left it wide open for a Halo 4. he falling towards a forerunner planet, and we know nothing about the forerunners except that they made the rings and the storyline could be structured around finding out who the for runners are. Im not promising anything i just came to that conclusion by myself. So there is my opinion and im sticking to it. and i can tell its a forerunner planet because the lights on it are similar to the backside of the rings.
sincerely
spartan I69

and one more thing is that it might be like a star wars thing, theres was trilogy 1 and trilogy 2
Spartan I69

I think they should let the common people decide let them vote on it. Ex Question:

'Dear Xbox player ___________________
We have a simple question for you. Would you like to see the Halo series continue or would you like it to move on? [Y] [N] '

Also if they do make Halo 4 add some clues to the multiplayer maps. Or make some maps continue like Last Resort and Vahanin (IK Its misspelled) Joined by a ferry system. Or make a racing multiplayer map where players race to win and have CO-OP modes where one player drives and the other shoots other drivers or obstructions in the way. Can we add have a War mode so that we can log on a server which one hundred players can just duke it out as Spartans or Elites. A specal map is needed for this so it might have to be pay to play in order to wage war on friends or other Halo lovers.

Last and least throw in a maze level on free for all so that the players are confused and on edge.

i think that there will be a halo 4 cos the ending points that way plus if u kill all the people off apart from spartin 117 and put a ending that can be used 4 a halo 4 u can do other games to make the gamers think awww there doing other game theye must have decided that there will be no halo 4 but use that money off the other games to fund very large all games in one or all the books out as soon as theye can to each othere they will make them bigger and better with next get software

you guys really need 2 get a life outside halo. i enjoy halo as much as the next person but u need to stop trying to figure out what bungie is doing and just wait for whatever it is 2 happen. and also if u read ghosts of onyx u would know that the planet is activated and anything viewed as a threat gets destroyed by the sentinels surrounding it

dude their is gonna be a new halo of course!
if you beat h3 on legendary he goes in the freezer.
and also quotes "wake me,when you need me"
andddddddd you see onyx in the background.

ok people look for a second...they made to much money to give now,left to many loose ends, and above all else mast cheif ISNT dead...hes heading towards some planet i geuss its called onyx. theres another place to start another war. and if u watched the prophet turned into the flood. since bungie loves surprises maybe the flood prophet got away somehow. halo 4 has to come theres nothing holding it back.

They have to make halo 4 cuz theres so much money in halo, they left to many things unanswered, and above all else master cheif ISNT dead..hes floating twards the onyx planet or whatever and heres a new war for you. the prophet didnt die completly.the flood got him. so since bungie loves to surprise us whos to say that the flood prophet didnt get away...and they destroyed all the flood on EARTH not the other planets. they have to make a halo 4 or else the xbox would loose to much money and people would be ticked. halo 4 is coming and most of you know it.(sorry if i posted similar comments but the first didnt seem to make it to the page)

MAN I DONT GIVEA FUCK WHAT U PEOPLE SAY I WANT THEM TO MAKE HALO 4 AND HELL EVEN 5-13 I MEAN IF FINAL FANTASY CAN DO IT WHY CANT HALO??

nothings holding back halo 4. either theres gona be sumtin weird on onyx and the forunners are having some problems or whatever who knows the planet could be full of flood and all the forunners dead. but if they dont make a halo 4 heres 2 choices to shut up and look at. HALO WARS people. and second if they dont make halo 4 look at this

after beating the game on legendary, you see the ending of master cheif drifting through space. hes in his cryo tube and cortana is there with him. this is all you see and know. the game takes place in what, 2552 if i remember correctly...
well anyways, bungies other famous game. Marathon
marathon begins with you in the year 2794. if i read correctly, the beginning of marathon starts with you waking up being cold inside a tube for around 200 years.

strangly SUSPICIOUS?!

got that from sum1 on bungie forums.

OK. I got it, who ever said anything about you would be playing M.C in halo 4. dont get me wrong im sure you will play as M.C later on in the game, but what if you start out as? :(THE ARBITER): "hows that jack"

Remember M.C didint drift from earth to onyx, if you remember the level in halo 3, the ark and when an O.D.S.T guy says "is that what i think it is". look up you see that you are actually at the edge of the milky way. thats the name of our galaxy, in case you didint know, and so happense were onyx is. coincidence i think not, opining for halo 4, i think so? its perfect every one still wants onyx, covenant want it and im sure the U.N.S.C would like to know what happen to the fleet of ships they sent to help the spartans in the book "ghost of onyx". and hell thorw some flood in the pot, how? maybe that Truth guy lived. one person said here in this chat room, that he could have lived maybe he did. maybe he escape with a pelican and landed on...... no not onyx, a covey planet and what ever is left from the covenant go to onyx to find some thing to destroy the flood with. and from there the Elites come to fight the brutes or flood which ever. and who do they find? A fleet of U.N.S.C battle ships with hard core O.D.S.T, MARINES, AND WITH ALL NEW GUNS AND EVERY THING. And most important, MASTER CHIEF with his B.R ready to kick assss old school. it has every one in it. i know, unliky what ever think about it think out side of the box. dont be scared.

I just have a feeling that the ending with Master Chief getting into the cryotube wasn't nessicarily to leave it open for Halo 4, although i'm not saying that won't happen, but maybe for a sense of continuity and circularity. See, Halo opens with The Chief getting out of the cryotube on the Pillar Of Atumn, and Halo 3 ends with Him entering the Cryotube, and telling Cortana to ''wake him when she needs him''. No, I'm not saying its a time loop or anything like that, Just saying it seems to kinda fit and maybe Bungie liked that

I will hope that Bungie makes a Halo 4.It could be called Halo 4:Finish the Fight:Continued...I am a HUGE Halo fan and
really hope they make Halo 4.If they don't it won't finish the story otherwise because Master Chief got lost in space...well....what happens?!I wish they could keep making Halo's...all the Halo fans would greatly appreciate it and definetly will be happy.My favorite games are,:Halo,Halo 2,Halo 3,Halo Wars and (if they do make it..)Halo 4.PLEASE!!

no way,I went eb games in the mall they said that the only new halo comin out is halo wars

Why shouldn't they make a Halo 4. I mean all of the other Halos were so freakin cool. If they want to keep doing what they do then let them, don't stop them.

I think it would be a great idea for microsoft to make the Halo books into games. Just "Fall of Reach" and "First Strike" also maybe "Contact Harvest". They can make "Contact Harvest" like call of duty, just better. Well naturally it actually would be better, cause its Halo. One big down side would be no Master Chief. Wait, wait forget "Contact Harvest" with out M.C. something like that would be like blaspheme. Instead how about if they make Halo 4 into a tease game. Yha i got it, while M.C. is in cryo, he dreams about the events that took place in "Fall of Reach" and "First Strike". Hell why not, this will tell the people that never read the book how John became a Spartan and how the Spartan program started. Also for sentimental value how he met cortana and johnson, the death of johnson can trigger the "Fall of Reach" dream. At the end of the game thats when the player gets played, M.C. wakes up and you find your slef in the middle of the crash site of "Forward Under Dawn", at this point its all third person and you see the front side of Master Chief. M.C. with all his luck finds his assault rifle right next to him, picks it up than stands. He looks up than looks at the camera and gives that kick aaasss look he gives, even though he still has his mask on, you can still tell. Than he loads his rifle and sticks it on his back, than he turns his hands in to fist's and from there the camera starts looking up towards the bright blue sky and you see a hole shitttt load of covenant ships. or brute ships same thing. Nice.

Either this happens or a movie I realy dont care but I want one of them. I need my Halo fix. hahaha.

Just to be clear M.C. can dream, it tells you so in "Halo The Flood" book, while he is in cryo.

i think that there will something to follow the journey of m.c and cortana but i dont think that it will be halo 4 maybe a book or something like a short animated movie, which i have hear rumors about that flying around as of late also. but halo 4? please. just let halo die for crying out loud i mean i would love for halo 4 to happen dont get me wrong but. it just wont marathon ended and so will halo. all we can do is wait for the next kick *** game from bungie.

WOW. An Xbox 3 and a playstation 4, holy crap i mean i only heard rumors about a new Nintendo Bull and a Atari 5hit was comeing out. Guess those rumors are real hu. :( =( %( **
vvv

ok I agree that its hard to believe that they would create another one because halo 3 is "finishing the fight". But with the ending on legendary its impossible to believe they wouldn't make another. But As most have said it wouldn't be under the name halo. The whole halo conflict is over. Now its the new planet. But if a sequel came out, I recommend to bungie. Please please make the campaign a lot longer and more challenging. Don't get me wrong I love multiplayer. But I love the story line and was a litle dissappointed about how easy, fast, andopen ended it was. Oh and another idea for multiplayer create AIs!!! I play online but itwoild be great practice for when online isn't available. They could be programmer to be like an online player( not so computerish) oh and one more thing, which could still be put in halo 3. For some reason I love glitches I don't know why but super bouncing, getting out of the map ECT was so much fun to learn and discover, it would be cool to make a few or one big glitch level where you have to discover them.

Last note. A quick idea some one needs to make a paintball arena based on halo 2 and 3 levels. Imagine paintballing on lockout or the pit?
that's massive amounts of cash.

OK, how dose this sound. While in core of onyx, which is a shield to protect from the devastating effect from the halo's and flood. Doctor Halsey the marine and the spartans 2 and 3 are traveling on the mysterious new world that is in side onyx. They been doing this for about a mounth, give or take. Suddenly a very loud and enormous explosion erupts overhead. Than out of the hole that was made a grav lift shoots down and hits the ground. From there bruts start poring down, riding along with them, an army of: hunters, jackals, grunts, and a fleet of banshees. Out of no were a second explosion brakes yet another hole through the so called shield world. This time a green grav lift drops from the hole, along with drop pods, pelicans loaded with tanks, warthogs and in side probably dozens of marines. But the vessels looked new not just off the assembly line new but more evolved kind of new. Several drop pods landed near the doc's group, in stead of the naturally engraved O.D.S.T some thing eles replaced it, the lettles O.D.S.S were there. Than expecting marines to pop out, something eles did, it looked like an O.D.S.T but it had green armor and stood about 7 1/2 foot tall. It was a spartan, all of them are, not just the ones in front of them but the whole army that was sent down was. The one in front ask for there names, than called someone and said he had found them, gave his coordinates and told to send down the general. While he did this the doc sized the man up and could tell he was a spartan from the way he moved and spoke. She notice something eles about him, his IFF tags read as a spartan but he had a number code that said he was "spartan 22335" how many spartans are there she wondered, and how the hell could there be so many in such a short time. When the man finished talking a pelican started approaching them along side it was 20 fighter ships. The pelican landed and about 30 spartans jump out and secured the area and finally one more spartan stept off the pelican, he had stars every one saluted expect the doc. She held out her hand, this general stood 7 feet tall, had green spartan armor, but his looked old compare to the other spartans but new at the same tine. The doc said in a low yet soothing tone, "hello john", OMG. she spoke again, "how long has it been", 117 answered, "85 years mam".

thats such a lie then y dose it say finish the fight in halo 3

HALO is a great game, they should make more, GTA has made more, than bungie, so no bungie should not let HALO go...MAKE MORE!!

that planet at the end could be onyx after all. remember the halo 3 level "The Ark" at the end a cinematic shows a lot of sentinels leaving the planet, SPARK says "these drones have a priority task." they could be going to make onyx

this person was not thinking. it's obvious spark either found out about instalation 04 being rebuilt and wanted it done sooner or just started rebuilding it.

for all the REAL halo fans out there who have read the books and played the games you would know( and think some of these people are stupid) that onyx was built way before halo 2. because in ghosts of onyx it talks about blue team on onyx fighting sentinals and also talks about the elites fighting the flood and brutes when the rebellion starts. i think the planet you see the chief going to is a whole other forerunner/human ( because if you have played the games and read books you know that too) planet. i mean i believe onyx was completed destroyed except for the sphere blue team was safley located into. (which could be what we saw too maybe) which is what i think is another halo safe zone like the Ark. either way bungie made a stupid decision making that extra scene if they are not making a halo 4. unless that is what halo wars is(which i do not believe)

I believe that halo 4 will be coming out in the future and even some new storylines are being made to make sequals to halo 4. AND IF U SEE THE ENDING OF HALO 3 ON LEGENDARY and baught the specail addition of halo 3 you get a book of where the aliens come from and because of that i think that the planet that he lands on is where the hunters are from.

i think they should make a halo4 because halo 3 evry body keeps saying master chief dies. but im love the halo trilogy. but halo4 should be more like halo2.why?because halo2 to me when i first got halo 2 i never felt bored playing it.halo 3 when i was first playing it i was very exited but then after about like 6 weeks later i got bored i mean like i saw the ending i didnt like when sgt.johnson dies.theres been a rumor on you tube if you beat the last level on legendary mode there will be a secret video of master chief when he dies.but when i beat it on legendary mode there wasnt a secret video.SO THATS WHY I THINK THEY SHOUL MAKE A HALO4.PS.HALO4 IS GOING TO BE THE BOMB.And i cant wait till 50 cent blood in the sand comes out.halo is the most eletriefieng game in sports entertainment!!!!!!!

Dude, whether or not Bungie makes a Halo 4 they are still the sickist company EVER!!!!!!!!!!111

No Guys it will the only way halo comes back is a prequel at the end of legendary he is seen floating with cortana to an unknown planet most likly planet reach where the spartans actually were "developed" there and if the is more spartants then most likely more fights and i believe the flood is still alive..its the FLOOD the never die so the covenant is more than likely to still be around somewhere in the universe.....eigther way there will be another halo game but more like a prequel than a sequel

Come on halo is done master chief crashed on a planet no one even knows isor what it's called unless a squad of elites or marines responds to the beacon there will be no more halos.
