Well if this is a legit leak. What do you think of the gun model?
Is it a br or dmr? 3 burst or single shot?
Also anything in the books describe those lights in the sky?

It's 100% fake - not worth discussing.

Why would you hope for a great series to die? And have you lived under a rock or something?

I think we'll a least get a mag reveal before then, if not gameplay footage. Right?
Look at the Reach timeline, what I remember of it anyway, there was plenty seen before E3.
but that was bungie, this time its all in frankies hands.
and most of the reach stuff before e3 was because of the mp beta.
343 Industries are not Bungie, so we can't really say what kind of pattern they have of releasing info after they release Halo 4.

I think it was MS that control the flow of info not Bungie.

I really hate you guys my heart almost burst about toy news and what do i get another troll.
But i just blame 343I for not giving us info.

Halo, as a franchise, is not eminent.
The [original] Halo trilogy, developed by Bungie, will for always be a prominent part of gaming history, but what can 343 carry out, in comparison?
Halo would have attained legend status, had it died with Bungie's au revoir to the first-person shooter genre.
If they don't have any kind of beta, that would be a mistake IMO.
Well looking back, Bungie had a pretty set standard of releasing info.
Maby it's also 343 "real" first project and they want to properly set the stage for their take on Halo.
What is this? GameFaqs?
Sigh.

I was genuinely shocked when I finished Halo 2, got on the B.net forums, and found out that so many people were hating on the Arbiter. His missions were my favorites over all, and I thought his narrative was a great addition to the fiction.
Naw, if you look real close, you can see teh butt secks happening on one of the mountain sides.
Not eminent? Please.
And don't roll out 343i as a developer just because you're unsure of them. I personally think they did a great job with Halo: CEA.

I fucking hate the Arbiter gameplay parts. Mainly because of the Flood. Fighting against Flood in Halo 2 was so bad and frustating. But the story aspect of his missions were freakin' awesome and his last mission(except the fight against Tartarus) was pretty good.

Great post, junior. Do you talk like that at your surgical assistant job?

I assumed that was the reason that bungie made the changes they did but i never saw the supposed backlash. Halo 2 sold very well on the back of strong word of mouth and judging by the sales of halo 3 there was no backlash at all. Bungie should have stuck to their guns instead of just ruining the story which was one of the big things that set the game apart.
Also i still don't buy the argument that COD killed halo because i think most players bought halo for the SP. The fact that we haven't had a proper halo game with the chief for like 5 years is what has slowed the series down.

Halo Wars and ODST would be the explanation.
Halo Wars was a good RTS on consoles and ODST had the best atmosphere and was made by a small team at Bungie.
It partially did, irrefutably.

Because the amount of people playing halo 3 online stayed really strong for years and halo 3 had very impressive legs (both even after COD blew up).
I mean since halo 3 all we have had is halo wars, ODST and reach (a mainline halo with no master chief). Bungie/MS dropped the ball big time on this because they seemed to forget that the chief not the halo name is what brought people to the franchise.
There is no way for me to prove this because either way the series popularity has dropped off. I think after halo 4 we will start seeing halos popularity rising again somewhat.
Halo 3 remained the "chief" of XBL up to Modern Warfare 2, and that's where Call of Duty exploded, hastily gaining on Halo.

He said "really strong" not "on top." Halo 3 did have a strong population up until Reach came out.
Halo Wars is not worthy of carrying the name of Halo.
Why not exactly? The story was pretty good (with the final scenes being amazing) and it was a pretty fun game.
(Also Halo started out as a RTS btw)
What? It was a pretty damn solid game.
And it remained really strong, nevertheless well below the might of CoD, following the launch of MW2.
