I'm still -- yes, still -- holding out hope for Halo 4 on the Xbox 720 this year. I would spanuuuund all over the place.
I know it's a complete fantasy at this point, but whatever, lack of solid info has me delirious.

I can't see it happening. Microsoft doesn't headhunt and build a AAA development studio for them to miss their original release window.

In cases like this, I find that expecting the worst is the correct course of action.
Its still a valid possibility in my mind... The perfect launch title. Yeah, they deny it but...duh. With rumors of NextBox building and building I could very much see this happening. 1 thing holds it back though and its that its been in development for a while now with tech that's been built for the 360's hardware (as far as we know and with evidence about the custom engine).
Why not? As a group the studio hasn't ever pushed out its own game. I see it as a real possibility.

I think it's a very thin possibility, but I want to see it happen so bad that I'm holding on to that small margin of hope, heh. I mean, I'll be just as happy to have it on the 360, but seeing MC return on a shiny new system would be pretty dope.

Well now that you just fuckin' announced to the whole thread like that, no.
In fact, I don't even know what you're talkin' about. This conversation never happened. Who are you?

Why would you want to launch your largest franchise as a launch title when you have a massive install base for your console right now? The game will sell so much better on the 360, than as a launch title.
All jokes about Halo 4 not being real aside, I see no realistic situation where the game doesn't come out this holiday season.
I still expect it to ship the end of this year, but I also won't be surprised if that changes along the way. One thing I think about is when Halo 4 ships the end of this year, then a new platform sometime within the following year, we'll all suddenly be playing a last-gen game and it may feel outdated rather quickly. That may not be the case though because playing Halo 2 on 360 was more awesome and felt fine and it'd only be another year or so after that til Halo 5. So yeah, I dunno.
To have a big launch title and promote the purchasing of the new console? Both ways seem logical to me, though yours is way more logical. Again, I don't expect it as a launch title, its just a small valid possibility for me. In my mind it doesn't seem that farfetched.
Either way, I hope the NextBox has some good launch titles this time around. Too many consoles have launched with shit for games.

Yeah, but isn't the current rumor a Fall 2013 launch for the Super Entertainment Xbox 720? That's a pretty hefty delay from Holiday 2012.
Launch the S.E.Xbox 720 in Fall 2013.
November 2013 - Halo 2: Delta (Built in the Halo 4 engine. Nine-year anniversary, lol.)
Spring 2015- Halo 5

Yeah, it'll be the same situation as Halo 2, which should no be an issue at all, and I'm assuming that the next Xbox will be much more backwards compatible in not only playing software, but how Xbox Live works as well, so playing Halo 4 in your Nextbox will not be an issue at all.
Yeah you're right, but releasing the game at the end of the generation has to be so much more profitable, as it will sell way more units and Microsoft makes much more money off the software than they do the hardware, especially at the beginning of the console's generation.
It has also been directly confirmed multiple times that Halo 4 is coming for the 360.

Yeah, I'm just saying I'm holding out for a surprise launch of the Super Entertainment Ultra Xbox Sixty420 this winter, with Halo 4 being it's major launch title. This is baseless pie-in-the-sky fantasizing, and not serious speculation.
Yeah, this is the (much much much) more likely scenario. And yeah, I'll be okay with it. Playing Halo 2 on the 360 a year after H2 launched made me feel only minorly butt hurt.

Wow, another A++ post from a junior. GTFO.

I totally agree, though. This batch of juniors (with some exceptions) are pretty annoying.

Yeah, thats what Im wondering, haha.
Well fact is, Re:creation Toys is at London Toy Fair and are showing Halo 4 die-cast vehicles..Though the lack of pictures means its probably in a no photo area. None the less, Frankie hinted at something.. Maybe he just meant the confirmation of Halo 4 dies-cast vehicles?

I hear that, we got some overdoz1z noob now or something who the hell is he..
I stay clear of Gaming Side pretty much entirely apart from news, trying to discuss anything halo related with that much attention from scrubs and haters is just a recipe for disaster
I mean we already had one post MLP porn over at off-topic.
I'm not saying I agree with him, but he has a point, but the context of his point would work better after Halo 2.
What if the Halo franchise stopped after Halo 2? People would always remember Halo as the most legendary two games ever. It's why we basically worship people like Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix. They died in their prime, so they are remembered as their prime.
Now when everyone thinks of Bungie, they think of armor lock, when they could have been remembered for creating matchmaking, console FPS, etc.

Did they really say that they are going to show Halo 4 stuff? Because the onl source is MVC. Can't find any others.
Edit.:

Follow me at @CyReN_ ,I tweeted something before he said that lol. Nostradamus status! (anybody else from here got it hit me up, looking to follow more halogaf besides my favorite hypertrooper)
if you can beat this score, I will be proud.
this, except for starwolf.
I never asked for this.
Iron Brigade DLC has a funny little Halo easter egg:
Brad Muir: "Our tribute to the Halo BR" @ 18:46

As much as people bag on Bungie, they still can be credited for creating such a massive franchise. All the advancements are nothing to mock at.

Don't drag the rest of us down just because of Tunavi!
Something actually about Halo: Just fired up Reach for the first time in a long time. Went into the dreaded Living Dead to see some of the cool zombie versions of the maps. People vote Sword Base. Instant quit. Never again.
