Introduce a new character who ties in with the game.

A live action Halo web series will launch this autumn ahead of the release of Halo 4 on Xbox 360.

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn will play exclusively on Machinima and Microsoft's Halo Waypoint in the run up to the 6th November launch of the 343 Industries-developed sci-fi shooter.

It's the largest investment Microsoft has made into live action to date, according to Variety. Larger, even, than the Neill Blomkamp shorts that almost spawned the Halo movie seven years ago.

Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn plays out over five weekly instalments, each around 15 minutes long, and tells the story of how Master Chief inspired a young UNSC cadet who will eventually become a leader aboard the UNSC Infinity Spacecraft.

This new character introduction ties in with Halo 4, and provides a flashback to the beginning of the war between the humans and the Covenant. More details are expected at Comic-Con in July.

According to Halo franchise boss Frank O'Connor, the web series is a "way for people to get onboard this universe without feeling intimidated". It's "an origins story that teaches you about a lot of different facets of the ('Halo') universe".

Apparently it's also "the next step" for the Halo franchise, and could lead to a theatrical feature, despite the high-profile collapse of the proposed Blomkamp-directed movie in 2005

SWEEEEEEEEEEEET.

How pointless, trying hard to have people come back to Halo...just isn't going to happen. COD has killed it. Well, that's the majority. ME, can't wait for the game. soapandbubbles

CoD has killed it? It won't get as many sales as Black Ops 2 but it's pretty much guaranteed upwards of 8 mill +.

And the live action trailers for Halo games are always epic.

Nice! Looking forward to this and the game. Looks like November might be another huge flame war like last year.

You keep System Wars afloat so I want to commend you for that. It would be a desolate and dull place if not for your enlightening posts.

Keep up the good work bro and never halt your almighty crusade.

Just so ya know, Bioware's inspiration for the Mass Effect universe was Halo so ya might say, Mass Effect has Foreunners in the game. :shock: :P
