Well, I've been loyal to the Halo franchise (Hell, Halo Wars ate six months of my life), but at this point, they're either trying to:

A. Milk it.

B. Finish an arching plot with the Forerunners/Spirit of Fire

C. Kick off the new 343Studios

Discuss.

IMHO, 343 better do a pretty dang good job to make it worthwhile. I think that 343 has a long way to go, especially what they showed us with their TU crap (Which I hate. Thank goodness its only beta.). At least CEA looks pretty promising. I'm thinking one of two extremes: it'll either suck, or will absolutely rock. Let's hope its the latter.

Well anniversary was actually developed by 'saber interative' so i am pretty curious to see who is really gonna be behind number 4.

Still hoping for inbred forerunner scavengers. If they have you fighting robots/flood it will suck.

True. 343'll need to bring in a new enemy if we are going to enjoy it.

Maybe a prequel about the USNC fighting the Insurrectionists? They were a pretty big problem before the war with the Covenant...I doubt it'll happen, but it could be neat...

For them to believe they could get another trilogy out of the master chief they must have thought of something pretty cool for him to be doing. I for one am looking forward to it.

Not as much as Anniversary mind you, but that's because it's out in like a month or something and they keep showing me pretty pictures.

Nah, it's a continuation of MC's story. He escapes the Dawn in the teaser.

I want to see the spirit of fire make a return with everyone onboard. That would be awesome

Though it won't do well. This is the only halo game I will wait to see how good it is.

Aw poop. I was hoping for a prequel against the Innies....or maybe a sequel with the Spartan III's??? That would be cooler than another story about John IMO

One theory flying around is that the planet Chief is drifting towards at the end of Halo 3 is Onyx.

The Spartan IIIs were a good representation of how desperate the UNSC were getting...
As it is i am looking forward to Halo 4. The Halo universe is so far my favorite sci-fi universe (not including a few other less well known ones) so i am looking forward to some more story in it.

If I recall correctly
Spoiler:
Isn't that planet in another dimension or something?

It's been several years since I've read the novel

Spoiler:
No. The planet is apparently made of sentinels and houses in the core a Dyson sphere that is 1 meter by 1 meter that apparently contains a microcized planet with in it. About as weird as another dimension

Anyone who bought the last OXM knows some details:

Here I'll list some off the top of my head:

It's 1 year after Halo 3. So UNSC has lots of new toys that come from a peaceful year of weapons development with alien tech.

Forerunners are alive, and we will be entering active buildings.

Forerunner vehicles are in.

There will be rogue sentinel elements and flood, but main enemy hasn't been revealed yet.

Cortana is going down the gakker, since she's nearing her 7th year of life with the added data flood she got from all the installations.

I mean they failed with the multiplayer...and removed and added features in the campaign/multiplayer

They shouldn't have made the multiplayer the same exact thing as halo reaches...they just added a few maps.....kind of like how Halo ODST just used halo 3's multiplayer and added some maps...

It does make a return...
Well half of it does...
The back half.
How could you expect it to anyway? You actually see the front half splash down at the end of Halo 3...

That's Forward Unto Dawn that appears as the ship of Halo 3. Spirit of Fire is the ship from Halo Wars.

How so? The visuals are great, and the whole point was to bring back all of the joys of playing CE with great graphics. I enjoyed CE alot and this will be an awesome remake.

Ahhh my bad... i always get those 2 mixed up not sure why...
Still if the Spirit does appear Chief will have a bit of support from some other spartans...
