343 is Halo only as far as they said. And Saber Interactive did the engine for Halo Anniversary so there's nothing stopping other people from making Halo games too. But 343 publishes it.

Most likely Halo as they are the Halo studio with a name from Halo. 5 will start ( along with maintaining 4) right after 4 launches.

I think he means "is 343 going to work on anything other than Halo", not if other companies will work on Halo.
As far as we know, 343i is 100% Halo.

I wouldn't go that far. Like i edited in the previous post, there's nothing stopping them from getting other devs to work on other Halo games.
Edit: I think making a Halo FPS every year a la COD is a huge mistake. But they can if they want to.
Given that they're named after 343 Guilty Spark, I'd wager this.
I think we can safely assume that each game in the reclaimer trilogy will have a development time of 3 years. But who knows maybe well get Halo 2 HD and Halo Wars 2 along the way.

I was fully anticipating a Halo 2 Anniversary edition after Halo 4, probably complete with the same sort of Halo 4 map pack deal. But it seems to me now that dual wielding will be a bit of an issue; Halo 2 would be more difficult to shoehorn into a Halo 4 mappack/gametype than Halo 1 was for Reach.
With no Bungie I'm hard and excited.

Naa, the only reason they did Anniversary that way is because they didn't want or have the time to redo the online to work with xbox live. So they used Reach for MP. Halo2 already works on live. All they have to do is update the visuals.

Still comes down to not wanting to pull players off of Halo 4 and split the userbase, right?

That was BS if u ask me.
Edit: It took a lot more of an investment to recode Halo CE to work online with Live then it did to tweak Reach to do it plain and simple.

I admit I'm a little excited in the pants, but I really wish they would have chosen another date. I mean, what the hell.
Sooner or later?

I wish a Halo 2 anniversary edition came out before H4. 
That way I could have myself a Halo marathon: Halo Wars->Reach->Halo CE: Anniversary->Halo 2 Anniversary->ODST->Halo 3->Halo 4

Once again, I want to say I hope Halo 4 has a kick ass marketing team, they are going to need it to really take advantage of when they are launching. Also, they should really try to capture the changes in gameplay/mp via some of their marketing.
Anyways, a few pics:
The character models look nice and detailed, but Im not to fond of the design. My biggest complaint is that the color of them makes them look like big action figures rather than spartans, I hope they can work with the texture a bit to make it a little less 'toy-like' while keeping most of the colors sharp.
I do wish they showed off the game from more interesting angles, judging by earlier videos and screens these rvb vids didn't do the game justice. Then again, Frankie mentioned it may have been due to that graphical bug.
Also, Bonus pic:
This picture seemed to go out with the PR about the release date, but I can't seem to find it in a bigger size anywhere.

Save the date has that. The mesh is black. Must have been a lighting glitch or something in the firsti vid.

It'll probably be an unlockable helmet after beating the campaign on legendary in 3.43 hours with pistols only.

Yup, it really bugs me, it throws off the look and leads to it looking like an action figure.
Cool, thanks!biggest I can find
Man, just keeping the undersuit black makes a big difference, I hope the colored undersuits in MP are temporary or a glitch.

Just not election day. Maybe a week earlier. Or hell a week later, they'll be going head-to-head with COD regardless.

That picture was used as a screen saver prior to the demonstration Devo and I got at the showcase. Glad they released it.

Yeah, the self-shadowing is very nice. My favorite detail are the sparks they fly when you hit somebody. Great visual feedback.

Not going to be 60fps is it? That gif looks glorious.

BR in that clip sounds weak, almost silenced. All these shooter devs just need to outsource weapon sounds to DICE.
Yeah, yeah, it's early, but let's be honest....It ain't changing

Frank said that the game audio was suppressed in the Conan clip for Conan's VO.

Holy fucking shit, the game looks so damn good. First time I've been so impressed with Halo visuals.
