I actually really like it and it seems like u will still use your themes which is cool too. I just wish it was coming sooner , that party system is awsome
Heh, there's a quote from the MTV blog where a question was asked whether the Bungie announcement was a Halo announcement, it they were given confirmation. Then, when asked whether it was the Halo squad based game or the Peter Jackson project, they were told "neither". So who knows.
Heh, the only people I could see not wanting a new Halo game are publishers trying to launch during the same month as it. Do you rememeber Halo3's sales? It's hard to see those numbers and think gamers are "tired" of it.
There was an enormous marketing push, too. If the next Halo game doesn't get the same push (Gamer fuel, woot!), will it be as monstrous? It'll certainly sell very well, but GTA4 well or MGS4 well?
And after owning, playing and finishing Halo 3 I can see Bungie was phoning it in. They are tired of the IP and a new one would get their creative juices flowing. Sure big name IPs sell with plenty of hype and marketing, but then we'd have no Gears of War, Resistance, Uncharted, Infamous, Viva Piniata, etc.
No idea. I assumed we were talking about first week/month success, since that's when most 'huge' games sell anyways. So by that metric, MGS4 did excellently, though not as well as Halo 3 or GTA4, naturally.
halo continues to sell though , i believe its over 8m world wide (halo 3 that is )
So even if halo 4 sold half of what part 3 sold its more than worth it for MS / Bungie . Esp now that bungie is by itself , i'm sure they wouldn't mind a huge pile of cash

Actually, I believe they were asked whether it was related to Halo Wars or the Peter Jackson project and were told neither.
It's my understanding that Halo Wars is a RTS, not a squad-based shooter.
The big Bungie reveal was going to be a previously unannounced Halo game.
Nobody would denied that Halo benefit from a huge aura, but I say again that bungie would better come with something impressive and with a renewed gameplay.
CoD4 was more played online than HaloIII, in the mean time (between now and the release) people will have play, GeoW II, CoD5, Resistance2, KzII, MAG.
I mean they can come with something "cheap" and milk the cow.
They could manage to sell between 1/2 millions units (depending on marketting and reviews) but they would almost kill the franchise (may be they want so => not a problem).
But if they want a real success and big money, they need something impressive:
Wether is graphically
in scale or number of encounters/players ala MAG
So far I've not much confidence in Bungie's prowess to come with something "that good".

Halo Wars is also being developed by Ensemble, not Bungie.
They announce anything from Rare?
