In a post on the Halo Waypoint website detailing what's set to take place at the event, Halo Studios has announced a panel for October 24 which will look at the future of the FPS series.

"Back in June we let the community know that we'd be continuing the conversation from last year's HaloWC and the 'A New Dawn' video and sharing more about what we've been working on," Halo's director of competitive engagement Tahir Hasangjekaj said on the blog.

"Like last year we'll be on the Main Stage to talk about it but this year we've also got a 'deep dive' panel planned for the Community Stage that you won't want to miss."

Hell yeah!!! This is going to be glorious

Halo was done after the 360 gen. Gamers moved on to COD, BF and all the other franchises that came out later on.

Halo is in the same stodgy group as Quake and Unreal. Great MP gaming for their day, but not relevant for a long time. All 3 of these series dropped off a cliff.

Hopefully Infinite sequel is shown.

All 3 can come back with the right games. MP shooters are more popular than ever.

As glorious as Halo Infinite. Expectations are low, hopefully they'll have good news.

I could see the rumored halo ce remake on ps5 and switch 2 to give people a "taste"

 

[Kvally]

I would like them to debut Halo 7/Halo Infinite 2. But I feel like if it was that big, it wouldn't be at an event like this.

The advantage Halo has over Quake and Unreal is that it's always been more geared towards large, open world, sandbox PvEvP.

They have all the ingredients to be relevant again. Quake and Unreal don't.

Plus, the IP (Military Star Wars) just works better than the other two.

If it's just a dumbass remaster like Gears 1 and not the MCC, then they have no clue what they're fucking doing. Barely relevant anymore, bring the collection and include 5 & 6, then make a new game stupid bitches.

 

[Dacvak]

Just give me MCC on Switch 2, please. Portable Halo 3 sounds like a damn dream come true.

I hate this but you're absolutely correct.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

MCC on Switch 2 will give them some cash to work with while they figure out what they are going to do next.

 

[MagnesD3]

I wish they would make a new IP focused around thier grappling hook.

 

[Scrawnton]

Unproven studio that has spun tires for years making their first UE5 game? Yeah, my hopes aren't high here. I would love to see Halo be great again, but I am just not feeling it.

Dead franchise

I hate this but you're absolutely correct.

I'd agree if not for the crazy amount of hype that generally comes with any kind of crossover with halo. Like this season's battlepass on fortnite including two spartans.

Halo is still relevant, the issue however is with ms cannibalizing themselves (making the xbox brand a laughing stock) and the general criticisms with the last two halo games. Like if halo infinite launched with more content than just 4 modes and a handful of maps, the dropoff probably wouldnt have been severe.

This can be proven with halo mcc, when it was revitalized after 5 flopped, it had intense staying power on steam while it was stillbeing updated.

 

[JackHanma]

Hate to say it but Halo is dead, 343i and Bonnie's feminist minions destroyed it.

 

[HYDE]

When Bungie left…so did Halo

If they are abandoning The Weapon im gonna riot.
No point rebooting Halo, either continue with that story or port and crossplay the complete MCC including Halo 5.

Bring back Warzone Fightfight mode but flesh it out even more so it can basically stand alone.
So much fun a true waste that Halo 5 MP was stuck with Halo 5s campaign.

 

[SeanyQuest]

All they ever needed to do was keep making 3 better. Adding more maps, partnering with el dewrito people. Basically treat 3 like a live service lol.

Who are they kidding include all 8 games or no one is going to care. Or Halo has no future (just like Xbox), and Microsoft's shit management is to blame.

 

[Mr.ODST]

Hope they announce MCC & Infinite on PS5, it will keep the numbers healthy, issue I have with MCC, takes ages to find a match, its a blast playing Halo 2 classic etc

 

[Darkkahn]

It should be just a black screen.

 

[Pop]

I find it funny Phil and Xbox is holding out Halo as the last exclusive to hit other consoles

Just port over MCC to PS and Switch 2

MCC on PlayStation

I need it.
