Agreed. Especially after the Halo: CE remake announcement. How awesome would the game be as an adventure game? Something like Uncharted. I think it would work. And they totally said something about a trilogy...

This along with everything MS showed at the presser was leaked ... by their own website. Kind of killed the surprise factor. Hopefully they don't try to shoehorn Kinect into the new Halo.

That would make reach-2, CE-3, 2-4 and 3/odst-5 and 6. Wars would be 1 right? So this has to be a pre-prequel or 7.

I reckon most of you haven't finished Halo 3 on Legendary given the amount of nonsense I read through.
No, I'm not saying I'm the man or anything like that, I beat it on Heroic but I watched Legendary ending on youtube. You should do so too.

I agree completely!! Perhaps Microsoft doesn't need Bungie to develope the Halo games after all?? I can't wait to play as Master Chief again!

Being a fan of Bungie before they ever hinted at Halo: CE, they generally don't like to keep pushing a series once the primary arch of the intended story is over. However, other people will push the envelope (see Marathon: Infinity) and can do a very good job with it too because what Bungie did is really the hard work. The only way they could mess up a 'new trilogy' would be by jumping more than one shark. Because the Halo universe can certainly survive one or two shark jumps, if done modestly.

There is nothing wrong with the continuity of the trailer. He's always had the jetpack, it was just never mentioned or utilized in the first three because... because... OMG HALO 4!!!!!!!

@SitriStahl - Cortana has been making upgrades while he slept. She also carved her name all over his body out of boredom, but don't worry about that.

Who said this is the first time Chief's been awake since the end of Halo 3? Who said this was the opening of the new game?
Food for thought.

@LimitedVertigo way way wayyyyy too much Kinect. And not even good Kinect either. It was almost all either on-rails or mini-games. Or both.
Microsoft, I bought your console because I want good, adult-focused games. Not motion gimmicks. What are you thinking? :(
