Halo 4 will happen. The franchise makes too much money.

Yes, it is yet another "crystal ball" thread by teh AvidGamer. But, it only seems logical that there would be a Halo 4. Halo 3 is the fastest selling game of all time. Now, Halo 4 may or may not be developed by Bungie. But don't think for a second that this franchise is dead after all the revenue it has brought in.

You're probably right... Halo is simply too big to just avoid. I doubt a traditional Halo sequel will happen during the 360's lifetime, but the next MS console might launch with Halo 4.

The only Halo I would see in the future would be an MMOFPS like planetside. Plus you can't do much more to Halo story wise since they kinda wrapped everything up. So no it is not really logical to make a fourth sequel to a game that is done.

What do you mean wrapped everything up? They left a bunch of life-exterminating rings floating around space and sent Master Chief to some unknown planet. It's pretty obvious they're leaving it open for a sequel... Again...

If they wanted money an MMOFPS is where it is at. No compition in that market and it is constant profit.

to: SpigleyMcChee

Ummm... then it would just be a genaric shooter. I mean pretty much everything is either dead or you have made peace with. There is nothing to substancial left in Halo world to make a single player for it. Now a Prequel maybe, but not a sequel.

There's plenty left, and they can always make new stuff up. It's not like it was a very deep or original story in the first place.

they said it was a trilogy and how could they extend on a 3 part game... besides if they did have a 4 it would suck even worse than the 3rd. i like the first and i just beat it again yesterday with my cuz. second meh ok 3rd one didnt even buy not worth it. They cant go back on what they said about the trilogy dont ask me for a link because this is common knowledge it is in one of the videos on the halo games on the site, ive read it many times.

Hopefully Bungie have a sense to let the main FPS trilogy as it is, and let Microsoft exploit its baby to other small-time devs with a bunch of spin offs at the most. Or Bungie should just create another blockbuster series which becomes Microsoft's new unofficial mascot.

Sigh.... Halo was a trilogy. Spin-offs will come but it will not be directly involved with the main storyline.

But you're right, the Halo universe isn't over, and won't be for a long time.

Maybe a Halo game of a different name?

Don't complain about milking. There's only 2 "rehashes" in this franchise. Both the MoH and CoD series have at least 5 of those. UT franchise has 2.

You finish the fight against the Flood and Covenant. The fight you have been waging since the first game. It doesn't say finish fighting. It looks like he lands on some weird death star planet at the end of 3. Should be plenty more fighting to do there.

The Legendary ending of Halo 3 suggests that there will be another game with Master Chief in it. I doubt it will be Halo 4 though, since the Halo trilogy was concluded and most loose ends were tied up in Halo 3.

But yeah it expects you to fill in the gaps.

No Profits to lead the covenant = end of bad covenant
End of High Charity and Halo rings = end of flood.

What else is there to "finish"?

Maybe, considering MS owns Halo, not Bungie. Still, they kind of finished everything up with the last one, what are they going to do, bring Master Chief back? If the Halo franchise returns, it's going to be in the form of spin-offs like Halo Wars.

A word and a half for you guys... PRE-QUEL they pritty much wrapped everything up in the third one the only thing you can do now is explore the before hand, like how the alien guys made the rings or w/e. Sorry im no halo-igist but it makes sense, and yes halo rakes in too much $$$ to be ignored.

How was there an end to the Halo rings? They didn't just disappear... And if you are talking about the ark, it wasn't completely destroyed.

I only looked at it once for a few seconds but I thought it was bigger than that. Are you saying he just crashed back onto the ring he just fled from?

I doubt Halo 4 will happen. Didn't they say it was supposed to be a trilogy? However I do agree that the franchise makes a lot of money, therefore they will do the same thing that Nintendo did with Mario and Square did with FF7... milk it for all its worth. Do I blame them? No because people will still buy anything Mario or FF7 related, and in this case Halo. This is how Halo Wars came about. :P
