I'd be interested in a Halo prequel. The early skirmishes between the ODST and Covenant would probably be pretty fun to watch/play. Also it would be great to see all the spartans alive.

I have. Not interested. The only RTS I've ever liked was Warcraft.

A Halo I might actually like.

And no more Master Chief.

According to Vegnagun bwf, since he has probably read the books, you can look forward to many more MCs.


Enjoy:D

There's only one Master Chief, and he was alive during the time that I'm guessing this prequel would take place. If this prequel does happen, I guarantee a John-117 cameo.

They need to add a LOT more to this than they did going from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3, otherwise it's just another freakin rehash and cash in of the halo name.

Oh, so standardizing duel wield and rechargeable health in the industry isn't doing something?

Yeah that was nice in halo 1...back in 2001ish

And they didn't standardize dual wielding cause goldeneye did it before them (might be others too but that's the only one I could think of)

GoldenEye had Dual Wielding, yes... But Halo 2 had independently controlled Dual Wielding, and Halo 3 further elaborated on their independence.

There's a difference between doing it first and setting the standard.

I only moderately like Halo btw, if it wasn't for the amazing original score and excellent story line / dialog it wouldn't have been worth my time. If this rumor is true, hopefully it will continue those two traditions :D

I believe that is from the Neil Blomkamp (not sure how to spell his name) Halo series that he made. It was just a few short videos of Marines during the time between Halo 2 and Halo 3. Pretty good stuff.

^^^The pic is from the Halo live shorts released by Microsoft on XBL. Just google "live halo shorts" and you should find them. Basically they are a glimpse into what a live action halo movie will be like.

All 3 answers are right technically. I just wish they would release the damn live action movie because that short is such a cock tease.

Sorry. I should have just copy/pasted the article.
Here:
Grand Theft Auto IV comes out on Tuesday the 29th. It seems like I am the only person in the whole world who really, really doesn't care. Thanks, but I think I'll stick with Condemned or Burnout...Xbox Live is going to be a very lonely place for the next few weeks until people get bored of GTA. *Sigh*...

Sorry, but I couldn't care less... And the main character looks like an angry Chuckle Brother...

I wish Bungie would work on something different. This would be their 5th Halo (named) game, and at this point, it's becoming, or is going to become stagnant.

The one thing I can say that would be nice would be to abandon, or at least "update" the Halo look. Since this is not QUITE Halo but still is halo, it'll need some of the same art direction, but it's a chance to make it look more natural and less cartoonish/gamey. I would like to see a more Gears of War/Call of Duty type of realism in the graphics this time around. That would be a nice change.

As for a touch of Rainbow Six, that's cool, too.

Yea because there's certainly not enough next-gen games adopting that sort of look as it is.

I know what you are saying abandon the matel look and stop throwing lights at peoples faces.

If you ask me the way the camera moves in halo is awkward and the multiplayer maps are pretty meh.

If Gears 2 is as good as the first, I'm not entirely sure the hype train will come to much of a halt.

If it's anything like the pre-Xbox versions of Halo, them I'm all for it. The pre-Xbox Halo looked like it would make for a very fun game.

The vision they originally had for Halo looked pretty fucking awesome. Hopefully this will play more along those lines.

The original Halo was a RTS so I am thinking you guys are looking for that game. The one mentioned in the rumor is more along of the lines of Ghost Recon with power ranger *cough* I mean Spartans

RTS? No no no...Halo was originally a third person adventure game that transitioned from third to first person perspectives based on what weapons you were holding and certain situations. It was planned (and was going to be) much MUCH better than what the trilogy of video games has brought to the world (nothing).

Oh Halo, what you once were... *sniff*

PS: I still have the PC Gamer from 1998/1999 that showcases Halo from it's earliest stages. Believe me, it was epic.

When devs find a franchise that sells like hotcakes, they milk it for everything its got. Look at Mario, Zelda, Megaman, etc. I'm not saying Halo will be as bad as them in terms of milking it... at least not yet... but there's definitely a lot more Halo to come after this.

This game will do well in sells but poorly with gamers, you do not play as Spartans but as normal soldiers. In my opinion normals humans in the Haloverse seem to be pointless, and as far as the games went they were on the special side.
