Master Chief Will Change in Halo 4

http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/121/1213881p1.html

343 Industries has confirmed that we won't see the same old Master Chief in Halo 4. In a new interview, Halo franchise director Frank O'Connor has confirmed that Chief's armor will undergo some changes in the new game.

"There's some fairly radical modifications to his armor," O'Connor said. "Some of those are an artistic evolution, but some are connected to the story. We just can't talk about it yet. He's been in space for a long time."

According to O'Connor, Master Chief won't be the only one who's different in Halo 4. Cortana will also have evolved since we last saw her in Halo 3.

"Seven years is the lifespan for a smart AI before it enters a state called rampancy," O'Connor said. "Cortana was getting close to the end of her natural lifespan at the end of Halo 3 but she has been exposed to far more information than any other AI in existence. She's going to develop some muscle from that process but it also contributes to her rampancy - that much information makes things worse."

O'Connor added that Halo 4 should be a great beginning to the new Halo trilogy and that it will bring back the same sense of discovery fans are used to from Halo.

"The most important thing for me in the whole series is the sense of wonder and mystery," said O'Connor. "We're definitely going back to that air of exploration, and putting in some surprises that I think people will like."

I think it makes sense since it is a new triolgy after all.

I hope the storytelling is great and the campaign is extra long.

Halo 4 wil be great.

I hope that the Master Chief/Cortanna thing is one of the main driving points in the coming story, it was very well done under Bungie's watch.

Meh, Halo to me was a goner when I purchased Halo 3. That managed to disappoint even more than Halo 2. I hope it can reach that peak again, but it's clear that it lost some flavor..DevilMightCry

Halo was able to "reach that peak again" with Reach

mm... I dunno, reach was good, but I honestly didn't think it was a fitting end for Bungie's last halo game

I think Halo needs to change it;s gameplay a bit, keep it a FPS but make it more modern I guess. I liked Reach but the gameplay did feel kind of outdated... Also as someone else said, make the campaign longer and good, kinda like the origional Halo campaign. Best in whole series IMO.

Not only does the MC kick alien butt but he also has more character development than Link.

Lemme guess

Master Chief becomes like Shepard

Male or Female

And if female you get to make out with sargeant-whats-his-face

Why doesn't this series just die already and stop cluttering up the forums.

That would be Old Snake ;) :P

It would be great to see a really fleshed out storyline for Halo. I'd like to see them do something a little different with the campaign to be honest. In my personal opinion, unless the story really works, its hard for a completely linear game to maintain my interest. I think things like side questions, separate areas to explore, and some kind of inventory are really important. Otherwise, there is no real sense of progression. BadNewsBen

John is a male. John has always been a male. John will always be a male.

Sgt. Johnson is on Earth, not anywhere near John-117 and Cortana.

It was, Halo 4 is being developed by 343 Industries.

don't forget stealth and armor lock :P

We've known Master Chief's armor changes for some time. The promo image for the game has been around since like the day Halo 4 was announced, showing Master Chief with new armor. I don't know if it'll look exactly like that, or even change some more by the time we get more information about the game. But I think it looks pretty cool, pretty roboticish.

And I'm not gonna partake in the arguement over which Halo games were good and bad. I've enjoyed all of them so far, and the only one I haven't played is 2.

Maybe 343 industries will put few new Spartans that go after to find Master Chief ( this was a joke, but who knows), and if I remember correctly at the end of Halo 3 doesn't the Arbiter say to who ever that he is going to the last known point of where MC was and start searching for Master Chief and Cortanna or something like that, but again I only beat the game once on normal and never got to finish the game on Legendary yet. So maybe I'm wrong. Still looking forward to Halo 4 and I was waiting for this game since I beat the third and never bought H3: ODST but got Reach and was a little disappointed in the SP but found the MP a little addictive.

Halo 3 ends (4 year old Spoilers) with Hood saying "Hard to believe he's dead." and the Arbiter replying "Were it so easy." Then on Legendary it shows the planet that Chief and Cortanna are heading towards.

How about they give the main character some personality.

i thought they were going to give him some sort of personality. Diviniuz

the story and series should have ended after 3

I cant wait to see where they take this new series. I couldnt care less if any developer makes 3,4,5 sequels, prequels or whatever as long as they are fun. I read the new Halo Cryptum book and I think I can see how Masterchief may change his armour and I wonder what they have instore for Cortana.
