    Yea they kind of wimped out there but its not their fault and if they are working on another Halo game or atleast a game in the Halo world, I won't complain about not knowing what exactly it is. I want to see how they get around all this stuff in the Weekly Update

    Obviously, you didn't beat it on Legendary (or didn't watch the ending cinematic). You catch a glimpse of a forerunner world and Master Chief is still alive, thus not really ended.

    And about Star Wars do you mean the last 3 as in 4/5/6 or 1/2/3? You have to clarify with Star Wars. If it is the latter than all I can say is Jar Jar Binks...

    Is Halo Chronicles supposed to be focused on the history of the Spartans or what? I am not really familiar with it.

    Thats the thing no one really knows anything about Chronicles, everything we know has already been posted in the thread. I'm guessing that it will go back and describe the history a little more, but Halo Wars is also set in the past so I'm not sure

    Bungie's Halo Game Announcement Held Back For A "Dedicated Event"

    Oh, the drama. To recap: Bungie were going to announce a game at E3. Then they didn't. Turns out at least one of Bungie's projectsis a Halo game. That new, Bungie Halo game, to be obviously published by MS, was supposed to be unveiled during Microsoft's keynote, but according to Don Mattrick, they pulled it at the last minute. Why? Because Microsoft - perhaps catching wind of the sub-par standard of their competitor's addresses - felt they already "had an embarrassment of riches", and that they "felt we could do this game more justice with a more dedicated event". Maybe, though you've also totally taken the wind out of that announcement's sails with all this meddling.

    I don't own an Xbox either!! We should be friends! : P

    Yeah, I guess that did sound a little condescending. Sorry about that. My buddy got it as soon as it came out and we played co-op through the story on Legendary, so that is how I saw it.

    Haha, they will have it out for comp real soon though so no worries ^_^! Either way im seriously upset that they will be making a new halo, just because this might, like i first said, could be a star wars thing. The olds were crazy good, the news; they were cool (cuz there start wars, duh!) but not as good and in dept as the old ones... thats the point im throwing out there.

    They're trying to imitate the growth of the Mario IP imo, hoping to get the same kind of success and longevity.

    The difference between Halo and Mario was that Mario started so simple and grew in complexity along with a storyline, Halo has complexity and a great storyline, so i think it will be hard to keep it up is what i was implying..

    Yea one of the reasons that Mario is so easy to make over is because there is no history so no one cares if its out of place. Halo there are stories that set the background and side stories and all that stuff so its harder to make new things without wrecking what you've already said is true. Especially with the fanatics that know everything that has been stated about the Halo universe

    I would crucify Bungie if they made a Halo game completely out of place from the lore. I am one of those fanatics who know's everything that has been stated about the Halo Universe (pats his halo wiki bookmark and 5 halo novels)
