SOURCE: Halo 4 announcement coming at E3

[Nuvian]

http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/halo41.jpg
Now our source is really sticking her/his/its neck out.
As we told you earlier (http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/index.php/2008/07/source-halo-4-is-already-in-development.html), our inside woman/man/thing got hold of some pretty exciting news.
News that Bungie was already hard at work developing what will be Halo 4.
Now we’re told that this will be announced officially at E3.
The prior news was probably like a weatherman predicting a hurricane “sometime somewhere.” This starts the ticking clock for what would end up being a pretty big deal.
Halo 4. E3.
Stand by.

I was hoping for something a bit more exciting then this for thier big E3 news, hopefully they got more up thier sleeves, cause halo franchise is a money maker for MS so a sequel isn't really big news imo.

[One-Shot]

Why would I believe something from sarcasticgamer.com? While this would be awesome I will not believe such things unless it comes from MS or a more reputable site.

[Behemoko]

I would personally love a Halo 4 as I was quite let down with 3 even though I didn't even have super high hopes. Too bad sarcasticgamer isn't exactly the most reputable source on Earth. :lol:

[Two4DaMoney]

How the hell is that "really sticking their neck out"?:lol: They didn't even go into details about the game.

I guess some people will be excited. I'm not. It will more than likely be more of the samething again.

[TheRocker]

Lets hope it better than Halo3, man that sucked... Halo2 was better...

[360DiedOnMe]

so what would be the difference between halo 4 and 3,2, or 1???? lol. Only game on 360 exclusive list that excites me is Gears of War, ill probably pick it up for pc a year later though too haha

[Perfect Sin]

MS gets way too much money from the Halo series for there not to be a Halo 4 (prequel).

[Tyrien]

I love how this is the second post and everyone ignores it.

I love even more than everyone ignores the source.

[Vulgotha]

Wow... Right on the heels of Halo 3? I'm not sure I like this at all... Besides I mean, Johnson is dead.. The UNSC Marines won't be there.

It'll be so radically different.

Edit: Lol Sarcastic gamer.

Wait, so 2 and 3 were sup-par games and you are looking forward to another? Easily entertained?

[Jackylegs]

I must be like one of a very small group who actualy thinks Halo 3 is better than 1+2.

[Naxi]

I must be like one of a very small group who actualy thinks Halo 3 is better than 1+2.Nah, nowadays those who weren't satisfied are much more vocal. Halo 3 was definitely better than 2 campaign wise.

[Vulgotha]

But sadly the multiplayer is crap by comparison.

[Naxi]

But sadly the multiplayer is crap by comparison.What makes it crap? I haven't played 2 online to compare, but i do enjoy it.

[Vulgotha]

The melee system is broken beyond any hopes of repair. It's pure trash.

You people can song and dance around it all you want, and say "Well it's better than the host having an edge like he did in H2". But to this I say:

It's better to let one individual have a chance of unfairly owning you, then every single player in the game.

The campaign in H3 is infinitely better though. A league of it's own in terms of fun.

[Naxi]

It took the guy out with the least amount of health when they hit each other pretty much at the same time if i remember correctly? I play big team and never play to win score-wise so that's why i probably don't mind.

[One-Shot]

I played both halo 2 and 3 and I didnt see much of a difference in multiplayer. Oh yeah and halo 3 was awesome overall.

[Scotracer]

Wow... Right on the heels of Halo 3? I'm not sure I like this at all... Besides I mean, Johnson is dead.. The UNSC Marines won't be there.

It'll be so radically different.

Edit: Lol Sarcastic gamer.

If it's a prequel none of them would be an issue. And, to be honest I much prefer Senior Chief Petty Officer Mendez to Sergeant Johnson ;)

[Vulgotha]

Pfff Johnson was the man. Mendez can bite me, as cool as he was.

[Scotracer]

The only credit I give Johnson is for his taste in music :D

Meh, Dr Halsey and Kelly are still my favourite characters anywho -- I want them to make an appearance in one of the games.

Oh and 1 on 1, Mendez would own Johnson.



Yes, I went there.

[Naxi]

If it's a prequel none of them would be an issue. And, to be honest I much prefer Senior Chief Petty Officer Mendez to Sergeant Johnson ;)I would definitely like to see some of the characters from the book in a game.

[The Sith]

Bungie isn't doing anymore halo deries. The game has been handed over to GearBox software. There the makers of BIA3 and the new aliens game.

Edit: Lol Sarcastic gamer.LOL, have you guys ever heard of a story arc?

Halo 3 wrapped up Spartan-117's (Master Chief) story arc.

They will start with another Spartan (a.k.a. not Master Chief).

Lmao I was thinking the exact same thing. I didnt mind getting cheated a little. But now its just out of control.

Also H3 was way better than 1+2 imo.

Only problem with this little theory:

1. 90% of all the spartans are dead. They died on Reach.

2. The few remaining Spartans are trapped with Dr. Halsey on the Forerunner "Shield World". That was prior to the events of H3.



The books. I read them.


Edit: Presuming it's not a prequel... But it'd be pretty gay to play as a Spartan knowing he was gonna get fried at Reach..

Though having a battle at Reach would be epic.

[Zabuza]

It took the guy out with the least amount of health when they hit each other pretty much at the same time if i remember correctly? I play big team and never play to win score-wise so that's why i probably don't mind.

Oh man after the update, most times when you melee someone at the same time they melee you, you both end up dying. This was from about 5 months ago though so I dunno if they changed it.

What are they gonna do with the cliff-ending of Halo 3? Save it for Halo 5 :rolleyes:?

People, check the source before posting.

[[velocity]]

Guys, it's sarcasticgamer, it's a parody website. Get real :D

[tmacfan4321]

They wouldn't leave the story of the two main characters (John and Cortana) undisclosed like that ;)

What I think the object in the last cutscene of Halo 3 was is the rebuilt Onyx, by the Sentinels and MC and Cortana might be able to fight their way into the core of the planet again and meet up with the other Spartans, Dr Halsey and SCPO Mendez. We'll see what happens eventually. That would be a good route that Bungie could take.

Well, one can hope.

[Galvanise_]

The series needs to die in my opinion. Each game has gotten progressively worse as time has gone on.

[:mn:]

Well yeah the source is sarcasticgamer amd about 3/4 of their news is made up for fun.

But i would love a prequal

[Behemoko]

Wait, so 2 and 3 were sup-par games and you are looking forward to another? Easily entertained?

I said 3 wasn't as good as I was expecting and that I was let down. It's still a great game when played through co-op with friends. Also, I never said 2 was bad. I quite liked 2.

[Perfect Sin]

Halo had a story? Go on...

[carocat]

Yeah, it's sarcastic gamer, so we'll see...

Though having a battle at Reach would be epic.
That would be pretty awesome.

[VintageElise]

I never believe anything from sarcastic gamer.

They might as well be called " our-news-is-all-rubbish-gamer.com "

@daz first of all he says nothing about halo 2 in his post second of all hes not saying its a sub par game (well maybe a little) hes saying it wasnt as good as the other halos so i dont think its cause he is easily entertained...

[Treefrog]

Didn't Bungie break away from Microsoft for this exact reason, they didn't want to make any more Halo games at the moment, and wanted to work on something brand new.

The source also shows, that this is bogus.

[One-Shot]

Halo had a story? Go on...
Quite a deep one if you pay attention.

[Copyright]

EDIT: forget about it, shouldn't the main title be called E3 news, because Microsoft isn't a sub-heading?!?!?!

[carocat]

Why is this in the Sony section, may i ask? Someone move it please!
Cause the sections are:

Sony E3 news
- MS E3 news
- Nintendo E3 news
- Misc E3 news
- E3 rumours.

This is a rumour ragarding E3, so best in here.

Hope that explains it.

[SillyHatMafia]

Really you didn't like Halo 3? I hated the 2nd one and i liked Halo 3 alot actaully

[iTz nAsTyY]

Ha halo 4..... iTz prob one of those things were this one person got confused with halo wars and called it halo 4 but you never know so.....

[rederic]

oddly if this is true i dont care i loved the first 1 liked the second and despised the 3rd (mostly becuase it was the most overrated game of all time if that same game shipped under any other name besides halo like lets say haze it would of gotten 7 and 8's) but hey what the hell do i know

[Daz]

@daz first of all he says nothing about halo 2 in his post second of all hes not saying its a sub par game (well maybe a little) hes saying it wasn't as good as the other halos so i don't think its cause he is easily entertained...

I know he didn't mention 2 in his post, but it still wasn't a great game. The point I was getting at was that so many people were let down by the last two games yet would be head over heals for the next one.......until they get it of course. Who knows though maybe they redeem themselves with a 4th, I doubt it, but there is that chance.

BOOM ! I can just see it, HALO 4 Only On PS3 Because needs a blu ray disc.... MUAHAAHA :-D

Im optimistic :).

I bet microsoft have begged them to do another, since its the only good game for it.:dunce

[Akalakabaka]

I liked halo 3...halo 2's multi was a bit better i suppose. But still...theres not going to be a halo 4, and if there is well...nice.

[RedDragon7]

I kinda wish this would happen, but its hard for me to say as I haven't played Halo 3 yet. Either way, it'll be interesting to hear what MS does announce, Halo-related or not...

However, didn't Bungie say they were done with the Spartan, Master Chief story? Still doing Halo related games, but not an FPS.

[bobtheduck]

Microsoft owns Halo, not Bungie, so this will never see the light of day on the PS3...

[thatonekid]

hmm... halo 4 so i get to kill the flood a fourth time now?
this seems to be getting a little bit redundant

what??? so you want me to read the entire thread each time i decide to post? how do you know i didnt read a few post or not? sorry i dont have time to read every post in every thread i decide to post in.

now off to read every post in a 100+ page thread........

think before you speak plz...

Actually, yes I do.

It is rude when people comment in a thread they haven't read. With the exception of ongoing threads, like match threads, clan threads.

how is it rude? your crazy if you really think everyone that post reads all 5or6 pages before they post. hell some ppl dont even read the topic atleast i did that. i think its funny that you actually read every post in every thread you post in haha. you cant be serious, are you?


oh ok i see now. your a mod so reading post is what you do. but do you really believe ppl read entire threads? most stuff in threads are repeated like 7 times anyway.

Can you not follow it? Don't post if you haven't read at least a little bit of the thread.

I read the threads that I post in, it wouldn't make sense not to.

It's unrelated on whether I'm a mod or not.

You replied to a 55 post long thread [the post I'm quoting was the 55th] and you didn't bother reading it?! Only 55 posts? And I'm meant to be glad you made the effort and read the topic?

The only reason there's repeated stuff is because people don't make the effort reading the threads they're posting in and yes, I think that's rude. For me forums are all about conversation, how do you have a conversation if you don't read other people's posts?

[TheMadTitan]

Can you not follow it? Don't post if you haven't read at least a little bit of the thread.

.... ok i see where this is going so no more from me after this.........

im not saying i dont read ANY pages. but yall cant expect everyone to read every post. some ppl have that kind of time but for yall to expect that from everyone is insane. i read the fist 2 pages. believe it or not some ppl come here for info not convo.

jus like ppl come to argue right T-mac? where was i talking to you again?

[Perfect Sin]

Quite a deep one if you pay attention.

If I pay attention? Well, I have beat all 3 games on Legendary, by myself and with a friend. I'm pretty sure I know the "storyline."

And actually, I would be pretty speechless if you could sum that storyline up and make it sound like it's something of epic proportions.

I could do that with a Final Fantasy title, but not Halo, not even close.

[T-Dogg400]

Havent got a 360, however been round my m8s many times and Halo3 is a big let down for all 360 owners (story line is pointless), would it happen with Halo 4, who knows? could try to improve the amount of chapters lol.

[Lil_Mermaid_Girl]

I don't think this would be big news. Microsoft needs to show that there are good new games, not just another sequel to Halo. Sure that's a plus, and I'm sure there are new games to be announced. I'm just saying I don't think there will be as much buzz around 4 as there was around 3.

[tmacfan4321]

Make the posts per page size longer in your options, then you won't whine about the length of the thread.

I came to back up an opinion that I hold as well, not to argue. Your stance on this doesn't make much sense. If you don't have the time to read the thread, don't post in it. A lot of questions are answered if you actually read the thread.

Try reading the books then -- they all tie into the same story arc, just a different medium.

You will be surprised ;)

[Zabuza]

You have to read a book to get the whole story out of a game now? That's fine... I think I'd rather just assume I know enough.

[Carsonal]

Imagine if sarcastic gamer got a hold of some awesome news that absolutely no one else knew about and it would blow everyones mind with awesomeness.

No one would believe them.

[tmacfan4321]

That should have happened already at least once or twice. They probably foresaw that no one would believe them, so they would post it somewhere else.

[PXG S3]

If there ever is a "Halo 4" it would most likely be an Unreal Tournament-esque. No campaign, just local, LAN and online multiplayer.

[dnut24]

it'll probably be a prequel, this way they can use that as an excuse for not having better graphics, being they have to be authentic.

[Sony Pizza]

This game needs to be put to sleep like a dog with cancer. Seriously, it's going to lose its value.

[SixAxisRumble]

I really hope Bungie aint in charge of Halo 4, infact a new team for the single player but Bungie for the multiplayer would be fantastic.

[Eddian!]

source: sarcasticgamer.... hope that explains everything.......

[arthur]

This game needs to be put to sleep like a dog with cancer. Seriously, it's going to lose its value.FF, MGS, FF, havent, and they have encompassed how many consoles? why would halo?

source: sarcasticgamer.... hope that explains everything.......
yup

[sorrow880]

Not too much of a surprise. Halo 3 came out 3/4 of a year ago so I'd expect an announcement for Halo 4 at the biggest gaming show in the world. Personally, I'm more excited with all the JRPG's the 360 has been getting...

[ChrisXL]

Halo 4 = $$$$ and nothing more.

[TheGreatDane17]

Halo did ALOT for multi player gaming. I am wondering what they are planning for 4?

[Carsonal]

Halo 4 = $$$$ and nothing more.

As opposed to....doing it for love?

[Black F 0 X]

watch it be nothing different from halo 3 but maps

[ttech10]

I love how this is the second post and everyone ignores it.

I love even more than everyone ignores the source.

Yep. Goes to show how many people don't even bother to read posts but instead just write down a reply to the thread title.

[rcader]

can it get any better than halo 3?

[rcader]

halo 3 characters have been notoriously good
