Guys, you're reading too far into this. HALO BLUE is an expansion with Master Chief wearing the blue Wal*Mart apron and a mock-up of a Super Wal*Mart layout as an extra map. You get an achievement for killing the Arbiter paying for a X360 Elite with pennies in the express checkout lane.

Another achievement worth 100G involves running every smaller-scale grocery store out of business in your given area.

Well hey, if Mario can have sunshine, why can't Halo have blue?

Speaking of which, could this be a blue masterchief? Shock! A FEMALE EVEN, I mean, we all know MS is gay, he doesn't express much interest in his female counterpart :P

According to the novels, the Spartans had their sex-drive suppressed when they underwent the modifications.

Just a little FYI.

That sucks :P I find it hard to believe MC doesn't keep occupied during those long lonely journeys through space with some porno mags, or maybe cortana entertains him, the future doesn't need mags right when you've got holograms :P lol

Women corrupt the mind maaannn, and shes doing that, literally, telling him what to do and crap, he should put her in her place, lmao

Cortana is really the hero, not MC, he only does the shooting, she does all the technical stuff, comes up with ideas and does a whole lot more then he does. MC, like any typical man just steals the credit.

Going out on a limb here but...

In comedy.."blue" is used to refer to more "adult" themed jokes. Based on the news leaked earlier that a new Halo game may be in the works that is "darker, grittier" akin to the Neil Blomkamp shorts, perhaps "blue" is code for that.

While I really didn't consider the Blomkamp shorts to be super gritty or anything, I guess they are more "grown up" than the Halo series to date?

Just a thought.

I think they are referring to the grittiness of the art style of those clips (read: less color), not so much the content. It's too bad because I always enjoyed the bright colors of the Halo palate. Here's hoping you still get to kill the enemy in lush, green grass and rolling hills.

'Blue' as in the kind of language you hear over XBL when playing Halo?

Blue could refer to the team of Spartans, our hero John-117 belonged too. There were other teams also.


"Blue Team" was made famous and renowned because it was the designation for a prestigious SPARTAN-II-oriented squad whose roster included SPARTAN-117. But because of the ambiguity of this name, "Blue Team" may be used as the plausible callsign for other UNSC military elements. This, however, has not been definitively proven. Blue Team has participated in hundreds of combat missions against a plethora of different foes, including, but not limited to: the Eridanus Rebels, Covenant forces, and Forerunner constructs.

After its conception in 2513, Blue Team usually consisted of five members. The team was originally comprised of SPARTAN-117 (John), SPARTAN-034, (Sam), SPARTAN-087 (Kelly), SPARTAN-058 (Linda), and SPARTAN-104 (Fred). After Sam's death on the Covenant starship in the Chi Ceti System, his vacant spot was taken by SPARTAN-051 (Kurt)[2]. Whenever John wasn't leading Blue Team, Fred normally assumed leadership provided that he wasn't with Red Team.

EB Australia currently has a listing for "Halo Recon". I think it's safe to guess the retailers are just getting SKU's ready so that once the announcement is made they can change the name and start getting those all-important pre-orders.

It's going to be an updated version of the original Halo.

Some people are a little confused about this. The Halo franchise belongs to Microsoft, so it will never go anywhere else unless Microsoft says so. However, Bungie can still make games for other consoles. Microsoft just gets first dibs. If they reject an idea that's pitched to them, Bungie can take it somewhere else.

After reading all of the rumors about Halo Blue coming to shelves in September and the speculation about what it is all about, I have deduced that Halo Blue is a Squad Tactical Shooter.

How did I come to this conclusion?

After reading all of the books and being a big fan of the HALO universe I remembered that there was a squad talked about in Halo: Fall Of Reach called Blue Squad. The squad consisted of the spartan 2's and included the main focus of the current HALO trilogy John 117. So the blue HALO Blue means that you will play as Blue Squad from the HALO universe

Here is a link to info on the the "Blue Squad"

Guys, its no random object. If you look at the unzoomed area, you see that "Halo Blue" is aligned with the words "Microsoft" and "Shooter".

Also, I believe the theory that Blue refers to the Blue Team stranded on Onyx. I believe there are around 6-7 left. There's Fred, Linda, Kelly, Will, and the Gamma Spartan-III's right? Or did I forget who died. :/

Squad-based shooter here we come :D.
