Well kind of.....

Having received Edge magazine's Award for Interactive Innovation for the second year running, Bungie thanked the magazine with a teasing video about what it's working on next.

In the name of uncontrollable excitement and our blistering Halo fanboyism, we've deconstructed the video and look beyond the clues dropped for a sign of things to come.





Clue 1 "We're all hard at work on something new."

This is probably a reference to Bungie's E3 announcement that was nixed by Microsoft at the last minute. The word "new" here is key because it suggests something other than a new Halo FPS.



Clue 2 "Halo 4? Microsoft owns the IP now, take it up with them."

Could this be further proof that Bungie is distancing itself from Halo 4? The developer hints that it doesn't have any further input when it comes to the Halo brand. It puts the ball firmly back in Microsoft's court.




Clue 3 "Master Chief, Cortana? Still trying to figure this out?"

In Halo 3, Bungie created one of the most community-friendly games ever. The forge, movie maker and file share capabilities have been a huge success. It sounds like Bungie isn't finished yet though. Why start work on Halo 4, when Halo 3 is still so open-ended and upgradeable?



Clue 4 "Choices we make in development are designed to engage and participate in community"

With the Master Chief story left on a cliff-hanger, Bungie could be hinting that they'll create some kind of epilogue. Could this mean new episodic content for campaign mode?



Clue 5 "Johnson and Miranda I thought we killed you?"

Great characters never truly stay dead. Johnson and Miranda's appearance in the clip could mean that the next Halo episode will be a prequel, giving Bungie a chance to give these supporting heroes a bigger role. Alternatively, it could hint that you'll be able to select Sarge and other characters in multiplayer. Possibly a Team Fortress 2-style game mode with different classes?


Clue 6 "Even though you finished the fight, it doesn't necessarily mean the ride's over."

The final shot shows our Spartan friend lobbing a plasma grenade through an empty vector style level. This looks to us like the kind of template developers use to create levels using modular blocks of scenery. It's a strong hint that Bungie is working on a level-builder for the game, much more advanced than the original forge.

Given that the video also showed character models for all the enemies and supporting characters, this could mean that you'll be able to create new campaign levels too.



If you find yourself thinking OMG NUB NO HALO 4 THAT R TRILOGY STFU. Then Stfu yourself, I thought it would be helpful to find reliable infomation from a source and post it here to make that little bit of hope still exsist.

WOW change your title
you didnt prove anything
how do you know this just isnt just some superfoundry in which you pretty much have no bounds in size and you can spawn bipds?
Im pretty sure went they said "Halo 4? Microsoft owns the IP now, take it up with them." they mean that they dont want to have any part of a new chapter to the fps halo so go ask microsoft for a halo 4.

and when thay say they are working on something new they probably mean what they showed and HALO BLUE
and this : "Even though you finished the fight, it doesn't necessarily mean the ride's over."
that perfectly describes that new content is coming out

THAT WAS YOUR OPINION
AND THIS IS MINE
oh and if you look closely at the map hes on its Rats nest it even has the grav hammer in the middle

This comment is wrong, Sure it might be the end of master cheif, But do you really think Money grabbing M$ are going to put down a game that makes more money that most of the games out there. Alot of people are ignorant to this and straight away say "omg nub halo 3 was a trilogy" In my opinion, Halo 3 wasn't the trilogy, Master Cheif was.. See what im saying?


And to all the people saying "WTF NUB UR NOT PROV NOTIN, I BAN YOU FROM BUNGIE", Did you read the top of the post?

And all the people saying "OMG WTF THIS R UNRELIABLE", All I can say is, Im pretty sure it is.

And to all the nice people with a good comment or at least some constructive critisism, You have my thanks for doing that rare thing called reading.

[StevenSVE♥]

I heard that where in the end of the video, that no geometry map, is gonna be the third map of the next mappack comin September. Heres this quote I saw:

The Unknown Map is a map seen in some acceptance videos by Bungie. It appears to be an empty room with no geometry features, Except for a single "Structure" in the middle.There have been a guess by Halo fans to what the mysterious map might be they say its a bigger, more flexible foundry or a map editor where you choose environments, bases,sizes etc

Also it said, it can be mistaken of it just "incomplete". SO thats all I heard, I'll let you guys know more If I find anything.

[L337 Box]

don't think theres a halo 4 just yet. there just adding more stuff to the game, bipeds, level-editor, Etc. Etc.
