Was that a Grenade Launcher I saw? :3
Looked like a magnetic grappling gun.

Wowzers though. Halo 4, 5 and 6 announced for 360. I knew we would see Halo 4, but announcing the other two as well. Trilogy ahoy.

Sorry Ghal, didn't intend to tread on Halo-gaf's turf :p
I wasn't going to make it, I just saw the front page with several of yours on it. Just ribbing you. :)

Well made trailer, nice sense of urgency to it. But the lack of Marty was definately felt.
 
I got fucking CHILLS when Cortana said Chief. Hype train choo choo!

Imagine how awesome this would be if Microsoft hadn't been idiots and spoiled the surprise 2 hours early...
 
Even if the next Xbox is released, may be they will release it for both the Xbox's simultaneously? May be not Halo 4 but Halo 5 and 6 are possible.
 
Awesome trailer, nothing gives me chills like a good Halo trailer.

Chief put something on the end of his pistol when he was standing out in space, I wonder what it was.

Yep. People will bitch about the "milking", but I'm still hyped for it.
 
Nice! Was wondering when they'll show this off. The trailer wasn't as epic as the Halo 3 teaser but this one got me intrigued. Was that a Forerunner structure in the end?

I miss the MC already ;-)
 
I'm mad that they're continuing it so soon. But Halo is one of their most consistently good franchises (overall too in gaming really) and with that developer team they've got.. man they could have something going.
 
Was shocked to hear "New trilogy on XBOX 360"--looks like the new system isn't coming until at least 2013/2014.

Halo 6 - 2014

New Xbox with Halo launch title - 2015

Is that what we're looking at here?
Why would that be the case? The first trilogy was concluded on a new console.
 
Halo 3 was on the 360, I'm guessing they'll do something similar by releasing the third installment onto the next machine to help drive sales. New trilogy starting on the 360? maybe?

Nope...

Halo 4 - 2012
New Xbox announced/released fall 2012/spring 2012, will run Xbox 360 games with better detail and/or MS publishes games both for 360 and next Xbox
Halo 5 - 2013
Halo 6 - 2014
 
I've loved all the previous MS HALO reveal trailers (even the Halo Wars one!) but the HALO 4 reveal was really bland.

It didn't really set anything anything up. We're told it's a new trilogy but from what little we saw there was almost no justification for it beyond the obvious business decision.

Where is the premise? Where is the tease? Nothing. Not feeling it at all.

I'd actually guess:

4 - 2012
5 - 2014
6 - 2015 X720 launch
 
I have no idea how you people can be so excited as fuck about this game.
I mean they are making Halo, again (well, doubly so) !

Just Matrick's wording - "A new trilogy for Xbox 360" SOunds like a promise to do all three games on one platform.

I may be reading too much into it, but I guess we'll see in... 4 years who was right....
