Gamepro: Will We See Halo at E3?

This whole thing started when Sarcastic Gamer reported that they had a source telling them that Halo 4 was already well underway at Bungie and that it was going to be announced at E3.

Rick Astley6536d ago

Halo is probably Microsoft's idea of a "big surprise" lol. Please. Most people stopped playing Halo 3 for Call of Duty 4. Why? Because it was simply the better game. Bungie should try something new. How many more Halo games do we need? Halo Wars, Halo Chronicles, Halo 4? Gimme a break. Halo sucks anyway.

LeSouteneur6536d ago (Edited 6536d ago )

that the other site was saying? I personally think it's too early to announce a sequel to a fight that they advertised should've been finished less than a year ago. Still though, if it's true Halo fans will love it, and I'm sure it'll be a great game. I'm still waiting for that FF7 remake, kthx.

Just as long as "the better" game isnt a PS3 exclusive...im happy.

Halo > Resistance
Halo > Killzone
Halo > All the ps3's, exclusives, software sales
Halo > PS3
Halo < :)

Rick Astley6536d ago

Try harder. Your entire post is made up of epic fail.

Breakfast6536d ago (Edited 6536d ago )

Heres a revised list.

OH look Ricky boy is saying something negative about the 360/Halo. I always go to him whenever I want to get advise on the 360 and its franchises.

You critize Halo that has 3 games and I bet you celebrate Ratchet and Clank and it's tools of desturction, quest for booty and it's million interations. Just look at how many upcoming PS3 games have a number next to it! R2, MS2, KZ2, FFXIII some Sony boy is the last person to talk about wearing out franchises.

I expect we will be seeing something about Halo Wars or Halo Chronicles at E3.

Just for fun I took a look at the Bungie stats as of my post. (bungie.net)

Halo 3 Players Online:188,551
Unique Players (Last 24 Hours):828,313
Matches Logged (Last 24 Hours):2,337,003

That's 2.3 million matches played in the last 24hrs, most people stopped playing Halo? I bet that is more matches in 24hrs than any game on the PS3.

I guess Ratchet and Clank isn't different?

chaosatom6536d ago (Edited 6536d ago )

because tell me he didn't say that halo is greater than MGS4.

*face palm*

you know bungie created THE most influential fps game of all time, it was the first game to include ambient ai, second weapon functions, and mission objectives in an fps game... marathon.

They also created another revolutionary game which was the first to blend hand to hand combat and third person shooting, and they never even got the chance to finish the game, however it still won several awards... oni.

they also invented the real time tactics genre... myth 1 and 2.

and they created a pop culture phenomenom that rival starwars, and is argueably one of the most influential games of all time, having much of it's designs and gameplay elements copied to an admirably degree... halo.

Bungie, blizzard, bioware and valve are the 4 developers that I respect most, they produce amazing games, they produce revolutionary games, and they're the 4 developers that constantly push the envelope and have made gaming what it is today.

damm halo 3 hasn,t been out a year
and people already talking about halo4
what a joke

Panthers6536d ago

No one ever sees Brakfasts sarcasm :(

morganfell6536d ago

HALO is a great series but these people are idiots. You WIL NOT SEE HALO4 at E3...FROM BUNGIE.

However you will see it announced and it is being handled by Gearbox. This shows you how far outside the industry idiots like Sarcastic Gamer lie. It is one of the worst kept secrets.

The BS Police6536d ago

I don't think Call of Duty 4 is a supperior game, their two completely diffirent games for crying out loud.

They are both good in their own right and you can't compare them due to the fact that one is a scince fiction FPS and the other is a Tactical FPS in the present.

morganfell6536d ago

Xi - No. The most influential FPS of all time was Goldeneye.

Tomdc6536d ago

problem with halo series it has never made mssive improvements in terms of gameplay, story or just about anything. Halo 1 was great but while everything else improved around it, as the series progressed bungie didnt improve the series that much and thats why it wasnt as impressive. it was the same stuff as before but when compared to everything else also out halo 3 became average. the same would probably happened to a lesser extent with halo 2 were it not for the multiplayer.

IaMs126536d ago

I totally agree... GoldenEye one the best games ever and still IMO had the most fun multiplayer :)

xhairs96535d ago (Edited 6535d ago )

The difference between KZ2 and others as far as Halo goes, this is only the 2nd, hence the 2, not a 4 like Halo will be. Why even bring in FF? What you fail to realize about Final Fantasy is that each game is a different story meaning, a different game all together. While the title still says Final Fantasy -- you're not still getting the same FPS game with a 2 new maps, 3 new nades and nothing more (which is what Halo gives you).

As far as the 2.3 million matches go, if it's anything like CoD4 (which I'm sure it is based on it's lobby system being practically identical) that must count the games where people walk in, are losing, leave. People make a game, lose, host is gone, new game begins. 2.3 million matches played is slightly over looked, what you should have pointed out was the unique players logged, that's the real #. You should be an analyst the way you pulled the priority to the redundant figure. It's like studying real and nominal numbers, in this case you did it exactly as any Fortune 500 company did (bravo) yet you're lying out of your @$$ like they all do.

@Xi
Halo the most influential? I feel if anything it's Doom. Doom or Quake, Halo is nothing more than an upgraded version of a Sci-Fi shooter than once was Doom/Quake. However they're falling short with Duke Nukem rumors ...

But ill take that replay system in just about any other game. Dont think ill be buying anymore "Halo" games, seems cool just not my taste. Also it blows!

The Goulet6536d ago

lol if you think Halo is that good then YOU are an epic fail. Its a good game but look @ the #s...CoD4 has it beat with more exciting multiplayer and more people are playing CoD4 on XBL. Breakfast do you own the master chief special helmet and a case of game fuel?

IaMs126535d ago

uh i dont think so COD4 doesnt show the numbers... When logged into Halo 3 jus other day i saw was 330,000+ people logged into Halo 3 online now COD4 i seen about 200,000+ which is Halo 3 average... all in all its about same get down to it more, its more Halo 3 if you look at the numbers while you are online playing, im just saying what I saw...

u got owned6536d ago (Edited 6536d ago )

Anything Halo is welcome to my life! Halo is the Sh@t!!!!!

BTW, Let the haters do their job! Hate. While us the The Halo fans feel the joyyy!!! jaja.

meepmoopmeep6536d ago

a Halo 4 announcement would be the biggest show stealer for MS at their presentation, that's for sure.
