Halo 4 IS real or a rumor

Anyone see an article about Halo 4??? I read one about it but loss connection and I do not remember how I got to it. Although we have come to believe that halo 3 is the last part, the halo 4 story seemed to check out with the other storylines. It states that you will finish the fight in halo 3, BUT to be more specific, you will only finish the fight with the covenant.

THE flood however, is a whole other story. In the aricle about Halo 4 it tells you about how the flood have made it to earth and are now destroying all human life. It turns out that the Master Chief has a decision to make. Anyway before I go on did anybody catch the part at the end of halo where guilty spark wants you to activate the ring and says"Why would you not do what you have already done before?" If you did then this will make a lot more sense.

The MC realizes that the only way to stop this from ever happening is to go back in time and activate the ring. It didnt say anything about how he did it but moving on. You will fight through the flood army and make your way to the library playing the exact same level called the library at the end of the game. You activate the ring and it blows up. The screen goes white and goes to a cut scene of the ring destroying itself and everything around it.

That is all I was able to read before I got cut off. So either someone is just making up their own story or HALO 4 will actually come out in 2011. Is it possible??? Or is all bogus??? We may never know until Halo 3 comes out.

The story of the Master Chief-- the "current story arc" completes with Halo 3, according to Bungie.

Ensemble is doing Halo Wars. Wingnut Interactive is doing as-yet-undetermined "games in the Halo universe".

I expect that the conflict with the Covenant, as well as the Flood, will be resolved within Halo 3-- at least, insofar as it is possible to be resolved :)

bogus or not bogus

In reply to: Bogus Thu, 12/14/2006 - 21:53

your right it could all be a waste of time. On the other hand it could all be true. I am trying to find the article again and will post a link if I do.

Actually, no, it couldn't.

In reply to: bogus or not bogus Thu, 12/14/2006 - 23:22

No, it can't really be true, since it conflicts with literally every single thing officially said by Bungie about Halo 3.

From the Halo 3 Announcement FAQ:

Q: Is this the last ever Halo game?
A: It is the conclusion to this story arc.

http://www.bungie.net/games/halo3/content.aspx?link=Halo3AnnounceFAQ

I don't think there's any reasonable definition of "this story arc" that somehow includes the Covenant conflict but not the Flood conflict, as both are equally important in both Halo games to date.

Furthermore, look at what Bungie is doing with the Halo franchise. The Halo RTS? Being developed by Ensemble, not Bungie.

Further Halo story-game thingies? Done by Peter Jackson and Wingnut Interactive, whatever they turn out to be. Not Bungie.

The story of the Master Chief? Concluding in Halo 3, where he "finishes this fight".

More Halo 2 maps? Done by Certain Affinity in Texas, founded by Bungie alums.

The main thread of the Halo franchise is coming to a conclusion, and the "Halo Expanded Universe" to borrow a phrase, is being outsourced.

One can only sympathize. Bungie-- in the persons of Jason Jones and Joe Staten-- probably have other things on their mind besides Halo, even if every other person in the studio was content to turn it into a neverending franchise, like Final Fantasy-- and I don't have any particular reason to believe that is true, either.

Could the rumor be true? Sure. Just the way it COULD be true that the sun will rise in the West tomorrow and pigs will fly. You don't know for sure it won't happen until it doesn't. But I won't be putting any of my money down on it.

Bungie wants to get off the Halo treadmill, I think. And as much as I love Halo, I don't mind it. I'm looking forward eagerly to Halo 3, and I hope I'll enjoy it, but in a way I'm already looking ahead to what will be next from them.

Yeah, I agree with you. Personally, I think that there will be more spinoffs of
Halo, But I bet all of them won't be very good. The only good Halo games after Halo 3 will be Halo Wars and whatever the heck Wingnut is doing next.

Sigh.

I've beaten the game on Legendary, and I've seen that cutscene. Please use the spoiler tag if you're going to post spoilers about the ending.

Lastly, that scene shows that:

[spoiler]The Chief and Cortana aren't dead, and that they continue to have adventures in the Halo universe.

That's quite a different thing from saying that those adventures will be in a game, that Halo 4 will be that game, or that Bungie or anyone is working on Halo 4.[/spoiler]

Even when everyone KNEW that Halo 3 was being worked on, because Halo 2 couldn't possibly be a plausible place to end the series, Bungie waited 18 months before making an announcment.

I'd be much more conservative about making any Halo 4 predictions. Halo 3's ending tied up the Chief's story nicely. That little bit may be a teaser of things to come, or not.

Halo 4

Sat, 12/16/2006 - 18:12

Well it turns out that the article was just making fun of halo. At the end of it, it said that this is what halo 3 would look something like because halo sucks, and he/she used the title halo 4 to get people's attention. So this rumor was just a fake. But actually you never know if bungie will make a halo 4 or not. Even if they say halo 3 is the last one I have seen other games like megaman where they say that the 4th one would be the last one, and hey there are what? 8, 9 that are out. So maybe after halo 3 comes out they would decide to make another one. But that is unlikely even though it would be nice to have a halo 4. Actually you could say that halo wars is the halo 4 because it would have been the 4th game of halo to come out even if it takes place before halo 1. Ah well.....Oh and have you noticed when you go to create a blog under topic it lists:

halo
halo 2
halo 3
halo 4
halo wars

Did anyone ever notice that??? Just notifying you.

Joke

In reply to: Halo 4 Sun, 12/17/2006 - 03:44

I put "Halo 4" in the topic list after hearing the outtake of David Scully's voice, talking about how Angela Bassett will star as Johnson's girl in Halo 4.

I don't have any specific, credible information about a fourth Halo game at this time.

well either that or what about the arbiter?he wasnt menchined in the trailers that followed for halo3.and it seems this time its going to be halo1 all over again with only playing as the masterchief, it seems'' but think about it'' will their be a return of the arbiter?or conspiracy by masterchief killing gravemind in halo3 and rescueing cortana? and and will you get a chance if you eant by choice to play an elite in multiplayer? see in the recent Electronic Gaming monthly had screenshots of halko3 multiplayer,and all there was is spartans in multiplayer coinsedence or fact?

Secrets

In reply to: halo4 Sun, 12/17/2006 - 03:43

Well, Bungie rarely mentions everything prior to a game's release. The Flood were not shown at all before Halo 1 was released. And despite their inclusion in Halo 1, Flood were again not featured in pre-release materials about Halo 2, including the existence of Gravemind, which was kept secret until the French leak of the game.

We were shown Brutes in the Earth City trailer for Halo 2, but not Drones-- they leaked from a mockup for a Joyride figure.

In short, we haven't seen anything of Halo 3 except what Bungie wants to show so far. That doesn't mean they're holding back for a fourth game, or that certain things from past games (the Arbiter, Elites in multiplayer) will necessarily be removed.

I hope they dont take away the ability to play as an elite. I mean I favor master chief over the elites but it is fun to play as someone else evry once and a while. Also I really want to see what a halo 3 elite looks like! Anyone seen any pics???

narcogen

Can't see why they would

In reply to: playable characters Mon, 12/18/2006 - 21:21

I can't really see why they would. Despite people's perceptions, the hitboxes on current Elite and Spartan models are identical. Perhaps future models could made to appear in such a way that would eliminate any perception of difference between them.

Given that there will, presumably, be Elites in Halo 3, the model is there and I can't imagine why Bungie would remove this feature. Maybe there's a reason I can't think of. But just because we haven't seen it yet doesn't mean it's not there. It's way too early.

Halo 4

Sun, 12/31/2006 - 20:06

I am GeneralZap. Nice to meet you, I would like to let you know this popped up on google when I searched for "halo 4". Thanks for making this.

I play Halo, and I cannot see how or why they would stop on thew third. It doesn't complete the games... well melancholyness. Sad but sweet, a dreadful onslaught with fun, and little hope. But the hope is imminent. Halo 1, was a sadder, more helpless feeling game. Marines died around you, even fighting their best. At the earlier parts, you would have it easy with lots of marine backup, but later on it diminished, I feel the inverse will be true for Halo 4.

Well, my main evidence for Halo 4 is, Seargent Johnsons cutout. He seems to be joking, but is he really? He said something about, you just wait, I'll get a girlfriend in Halo 4. Which would be a good, undetectable thing for a majority but not all. Unfortunately Halo 4 probably won't go exactly according to that storyline however, Bungie will have to change it to make it less spoiler.
