Two Classic Characters Return For Resident Evil 5's Mercenaries Reunion
12 hours 11 mins ago
Recently Microsoft and Bungie touted the milestone one-billionth game played on Halo 3's online component. Even more recently, talk is up about Halo 3:ODST, and what the plot is concerning the game. However, what is most prevalent is mentions of Master Chief's return to the Halo series once more. As is seen in the last paragraph, Halo franchise development director Frank O'Connor clearly teases that Halo 4 has a strong possibility of showing up.
The game, O'Connor says, "is significantly more than an add-on. It's a lot of game. You play the game through the point of view of an ODST. They are dropped into combat from orbit. They have a rivalry with the Spartans that is well known to the fans of the fiction. We finally let you into their boots as it were. It's kind of a detective story in a way. But it is much more action-packed than that."
As for the franchise's main character, O'Connor says, "I doubt we have seen the last of Master Chief."

I know alot of people will be all over this post, flaming it and what not.
But i for one welcome a Halo 4. It means more changes to the multiplayer and a brand new storyline, hell i've liked all of the Halo storylines so far.
If its anything like the last 3, this one will be a huge success and dominate the multiplayer network.
I guess giving props to Halo's multiplayer is considered hate then
They may make H4, I doubt they will continue on MC's story. (Prequel? Not halowars.)
A) Some new prophets take over and, namely the Brutes, fight and cause problems.
B) Something else to do with the Forerunners takes center stage of the story.
C) Flood somehow make a return.
D) A new enemy is introduced.
E) Humanity creates it's own enemy/has infighting.
It'll be interesting to see what they end up doing really, but Bungie is probably going to have it's hands full trying to come up with something that is going to be as awesome as the current Halo series has been.
Chief could still show up as cameos though.
But you can have more than one fight.
With clever storytelling mechanics and refreshing addicting gameplay, Halo 4 and beyond are happily welcomed here.
I would eventually like to see the Halo franchise conclude and Microsoft put their motivation and energy behind another game franchise. It will be interesting to see how Velvet Assassin goes when it launches for the 360/PC in April; hopefully doing well and creating what could be the start of a fantastic franchise.
This better be interesting.
I do agree that the end of 3 was kinda poor, lets see what they've got for 4 (if this is true of course)
Halo Wars is an excellent next step for the franchise but, Halo will always be about first person shooters above all.
I think I'd be great if they made Halo 4. Mainly for the action-packed storylines and the impressive online multi-player.
