343 takes Call of Duty to the year 2556.

Brilliant, 343! It's great to know that the Halo IP is in good hands, and I for one look forward to this certified gem of a game!




if you couldn't tell, that was sarcasm, i'm being sarcastic

That said, I might have been interested in Halo if the second, third, fourth, twentyith games were't console exclusive.

Halo 2 is on PC, and it's servers are still up, too.

Honestly, the worst thing about that article is the fact that they're bringing back the Covenant, again, and the same jumble of weapons, again.

I thought they were finally going to think outside the box, but nope, I guess. There better still be a ton of all-new enemies and weapons.

The rest is whatever, I'll adapt.

I wasn't actually expecting this to be about halo, but none the less I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm not happy that they already stated they're making a new trilogy.

First of all, I definitely remember 100% that they said they would never make another halo game featuring Master Chief. The common get-around of this is that BUNGIE said that so the fact that a new team is handling it makes it ok. Alright, fine, stupid but I'll take it. But to come out of the gate saying "Ya, we already have plans to drag it out across 3 whole games before we get 1 out" is just a jackass way of going about developing the series to me. I'm really fuzzy on how Halo 3 even ends but I thought everything was pretty much over and the covenant wasn't a threat? This article discusses the covenant being the enemy in 4. Like someone already posted, come on. The covenant sucks at this point, as do the same recycled weapons. I for one am not excited about returning to the same exact old thing, not once, but 3 times apperantly.

Long story short, the fact that they have already confirmed that not that much is going to change and they're making 3 games before they get 1 out makes me a little disgusted with 343.

Maybe the Covenant won't be a full on enemy, but perhaps play a roll in the beginning of the game...

In the comments they're accusing Halo to have copied COD and COD to have copied Halo. They don't know that Halo copied Perfect Dark and COD copied Goldeneye 007.

How the hell did either game copy those?

No, the only thing they have in common is that they're first person shooters. I may as well throw around the accusation that Goldeneye copied Doom in that case.

You can hope, but to put so much development into a type of enemy and only barely use it makes no sense.

And there's the whole "Elites are our friends now" thing and the rest of the Covenant was pretty much over at the end of Halo 3. But nope, can't have closure, gotta bring it back again because why not

Well, the gameplay of CoD is pretty much ripped-off by Goldeneye, except CoD is way linear, has no checkpoints and all you do is shooting.
While Halo is very similar to Perfect Dark in ways of plot too. The aliens' wars, for example.

Halo's only similarity is Aliens.

CoD is a cover-based shooter and last I checked, Goldeneye didn't have iron sights.

... Are you playing the Wii version of Goldeneye?

I just think that they don't want to make anything radically different with the Halo IP yet because they don't want any pissed off players saying stuff like, "These new weapons and enemies are retarded what happened to the good old fashioned Halo stuff?"

I'm sure 343 just wants to ease in to this so as to not make things seem too 'alien' to everyone....

BTW: Goldeneye is like Call of Duty in the same way that Mario Kart is like Grand Turismo....
