Quote:
Halo 4 is nowhere close to being out yet. In fact, it's not even announced. Regardless, I can already say it sucks (not <i>will suck</i>, but <i>sucks</i> as in <i>already sucks</i>). Insert your joke of choice about sucking here.

You see, there's a reason why Halo 3 was given the tagline "Finish the Fight": it was meant to be the ending of the series and the story. Allow me to recap the state of the universe at the conclusion of Halo 3:
<ul><li>The Covenant is at peace with the humans, and is lead by the Arbiter.</li>
<li>The Flood, along with Gravemind, has been destroyed on the Halo (at least temporarily).</li>
<li>Master Chief is drifting somewhere in space.</li>
<li>Sgt. Johnson, arguably the best supporting character, is dead.</li>
<li>There are no more secrets or unknowns about the Halo rings.</li></ul>Now where does that leave us? It leaves us with some Covenant resistance fighters and the Flood trying to re-establish themselves. It doesn’t sound half bad, except for the fact that Master Chief is out drifting god-knows-where in space. Now unless someone manages to pinpoint the Ark and send out a massive search party, there’s just about no chance he’ll ever be found.

This leaves us with two scenarios:
<ol><li>Master Chief ends up on a new planet with some hostile aliens (or even the Flood), has to fight them, and manages to contact Earth.</li>
<li>A new hero takes Master Chief’s place to repel rebel Covenant and fight the Flood.</li></ol>First of all, the first scenario might work. If Master Chief somehow managed to stumble upon a Covenant resistance planet (possibly taken prisoner); it would make a pretty decent game. In fact, that’s such a good idea that we can just throw out the second scenario altogether.

Now hold on just a second, I said Halo 4 sucks, yet this sounds like a pretty good continuation of the story (albeit a bit cliché in its own way). The problem is who knows what Bungie will do. Well, I happen to know exactly what <a href="http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3175305">they won’t do</a>.

Yes, this is the reason why Halo 4 sucks. The people who built this game from the ground up, the people who made this one of the most successful video games ever, won’t be making Halo 4.
<Photo 3>This is a fact. No, <a href="http://www.videogamer.com/news/bungie_reveals_halo_4_not_in_development.html">Bungie has not secretly started developing Halo 4</a>. In fact, <a href="http://kotaku.com/5320894/microsofts-halo-division-is-called-343-industries-%5Bupdate%5D">Microsoft has a new division specifically for the Halo franchise</a>.

If there is one small, tiny glimmer of hope, it’s located in Microsoft’s bio for 343 Industries.

<blockquote>343 Industries is the publisher of the blockbuster "Halo" series of videogames and, as part of Microsoft Game Studios, oversees the "Halo" franchise, including novels, comics, licensed collectibles, apparel and more. 343 Industries is home to world-class developers working on future "Halo" projects, including "Halo Legends" and Halo Waypoint, <b>as well as partnering with renowned developers such as Bungie LLC</b> and Robot Entertainment to produce "Halo" games for Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE.</blockquote>
However, until it’s 100% confirmed that Bungie is helping with Halo 4 (see <i>making the entire story</i>), the game is already a disappointment to me.
