"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

im curious what the hell is left for them to talk about and do in one game, let alone three. CE remake on the other hand, im all over that.
E: oh by the way, dear whoever is making halo 4 (343i?): remember that halo 2 E3 video? the one with the dual smgs that the reticle changed for, the wounded marines, single shot br, etc... remember how halo 2 did not deliver much of anything shown in that video? dont do that again, kthx.
ps: that doesnt mean set your standards low by releasing a shit gameplay video either :maddowns:

Well personally, if I were a creative director at 343 and I got a mandate from Microsoft to make a new Halo trilogy continuing directly after the end of H3, I would try and come up with an entirely new enemy and threat in a brand-new kind of setting. I would try my hardest to keep away from the Covenant and the Flood, and look toward other elements of the fiction to find new styles of environments to explore outside of the standard Covenant purples, Halo greens, and Forerunner greys that so widely populated the original games. I would try and pick out the most basic elements that make Halo's combat unique - a carefully crafted set of conventional and exotic weaponry, each with a specifically designed function; the seamless integration of vehicular elements; a variety of enemy types, some intelligent, some not, each requiring different strategies to effectively combat; etc. - and find a way to take those elements and rework them into something new and original.

But that's just me.

E: oh and I'd also release it on PC the same day as the 360 version with a full-fledged editing kit and no GFWL, but again, that's just me

Set in the aftermath of Halo 3, Master Chief returns to confront his own destiny and face an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe, and a new trilogy begins.

From the looks of it, there definitely won't be much Covenant in there, if any at all. Maybe it's the Flood, but the trailer seems to point towards something new and different. Either way, I'm quite excited to see what 343i has in store for us since the trailer looked amazing.

I honestly do hope it involves the Forerunner in a deeper sense, but not in the way in the past (dealing with the flood). The galaxy is a rather large place, The Covenant probably weren't the only space faring species in it, although introducing a new species as a major threat this late into the series could be rather untasteful.

I just hope to god that they won't pull a "Forerunners came back and want their galaxy universe back".

Precursors, perhaps?

I couldn't be less excited. Halo was a great game, but I don't want to see it dragged out like this. I guess it could become the "mario of microsoft," but they are going to have to innovate quite a bit to keep it interesting.

Since I get raging hard-ons for realistic games, I would love to see them do a realistic Halo.

Dear god no, Halo Cryptum ruined any preconceptions I had about the Precursors in the final fucking paragraph in this sense.

Didn't read it.
