That is more of a teaser than a trailer.

I dig Halo, I have ever since I first saw the first game's development videos with the theme song. I would be lying if I said its current frat boy fanbase didn't bug the hell out of me though (or that I was any good at it any more).

take that pos3!

Sweet!

How much time do I have to finish the Halo series before this comes out? Started from the beginning over last winter and am most of the way through 2, maybe a quarter through Reach.

I can't keep up, but that doesn't matter I will still buy it.

Pretty excited for this! Anyone play Reach or Black Ops now? Heck, I'll even go back and play Halo 3. My gt is: DJ Backwardz

[scabzzzz]

Ill buy it and play it. For a month at least.

[Killacortes]

I am interested, but to be clear this is NOT made by the people that made the previous Halo games.

The epic Game company that is Bungie studios, which was founded in 1991. They announced the first Halo game in 1999, Microsoft said "That's cool, here is a @#$% ton of money" and Bungie was bought by Microsoft to develop the game for the XBox instead of MacOS/Windows.

Bungie then made Halo 1, 2, 3 under Microsoft. In 2007 Bungie became independent again, and announced Halo Reach, the last Halo game they would make.
In the same year Microsoft spun up 343 Industries to manage what was left of Halo that Microsoft had something to do with. They are the ones developing Halo 4.

Bungie on the other hand has signed a 10 year publishing deal with Blizzard Activision to bring Bungie's next set of IP to "multiple platforms".

You can bet that Bungie is well on their way to the next big thing.
You can bet that Microsoft will beat the Halo franchise (which they own) into the ground.

I may end up buying Halo 4. But I'm unlikely to buy Halo 5, 6 or 7 :(

[CAIVIBER]

I'll be buying it for sure! I hate it when my kid cries, but I sure love making other peoples kids cry online! add me up on xbl:aTastyfart for Halo or Forza!

I thought reach was supposed to be the last one?

Dude, that teaser looked awesome. I don't care about developers. 9 out of 10 times the original developer is either A. hog tied by the second game or B. sold so far out that they don't even care. Nothing but $$$ signs in their minds.

Halo 4 looks like a good refreshing teaser. Back to Halo 1 standards IMO. Reach was awesome. AWESOME game play. Ridiculous story line. I'll be honest, I was more of a Halo story line follower than a game player. I loved the story line and ever since Reach and the original developer's said it would be the last Halo game, I was reluctant to play Reach at all. I just don't think you can leave a fan base hanging on what Master Chief does next like they did. "So wait, you're going to leave us hanging, make ODST which sucked donkey balls and then make a Prequel? Fuck you."

If I recall Marathon and Myth correctly, that's what Bungie stories are. They are a smaller glimpse at something more epic, that doesn't always end in a nice little hollywood bow tie.

Also, I'm sure Bungie knew that they were never going to own the rights to Halo. It would have been kind of a jerk move (and contract damaging I'm sure) to "End" the Halo story, forcing Microsoft to find some way of bringing it back.

Perhaps the story will be based on something that Bungie left behind for them. That would make it better. But without all the same people, it can't possibly be the same.
