well no offense, but frank is full of it, or it was a missleading video, he may have ment 2 years of him working on it, but it is proven stated fact that halo 4 started in 2006, now when it got picked 100% by 343 is unknown, but the meer fact that they were a secret for a year makes me think, without a dought that halo 4 has been in the works for a long time. but we will find out for sure next year probly

I love the idea(obviously like me your no dev) but there is one thing, they have already established how the flood came to be, so the last part is not possible for the canon. sorry(but like i said its cool. also they could twist the canon to add the forunners, but sadly they also have stated the forrunners also gave there lives and did not save there own race. soooo lol i know it sucks. but thats the halo canon, but i love the idea seriously

deffenantly, seriously i mean the proof is all there and points right at that conclusion!

Ok so here is my idea that i have been itching to share with fellow fans, like you know i have made it clear i have been around from day one so i like to think of myself as a origins fan(not these new 12 and 13 year olds ruining halo reach lol!) so here we go! In halo 4 begining it should only take place a max of about a week after halo 3 and a min of 1 day. the mystery planet should hands down be onyx, why you ask? well duh the other spartan 2 guys are there!!! they leave it right open for the perfect story were S-117 has to save his team and friends from the horrors of onyx(the new threat) plus the sentinals. im not a halo dev and im not frank so i cant go in depth but a trilogy based about not 1, not 2, not even three spartan 2s but 5 of them! that would be beast. i think it would be great! if you want to add to my idea or make your own feel free! thank you for reading!

I KNOW!!! lol

hell look at starcraft, there are much longer releases than halo 4, and since there were three halo games inbetween while halo 4 was being made, what does it matter? lol means it will be better!

just because when it comes out its a 2 year difference does not mean anything, it is literal proven fact that halo 4 was started in 2006, its just the case of when 343 picked up the job that is not fact. so no, its garenteed to be WAY more than 2 years

sorry, idk about you, but i have been around since literal day one and no. i want it to feel REAL. not like any other halo coop. sorry but it was local 2 player it should be online 2 player. its a remaster not a remake. theres a difference man

well technically... it is, like i said MS owned 51 percent at the time, and like you have stated 343 IS MS were bungie was not, AKA bungie had no say so if MS anted to give the project to the secret newly formed 343i. not to mention who knows how long MS has truly had ALL the rights to halo lol!

Hey i dont know if anyone else marvels at the fact that halo 4 was so well hidden. and I for one want to know how long this secret was kept. I have a good idea of how long to. listen up because this is some interesting stuff! Okey so in 2010 Bungie released a comment saying reach started production back in 2006 after halo 3 was in its production phases.(article i found at joystick) this was said because they were asked when they started and what made them want to do this. the full statment was that they originally wanted to start with halo 4(the game JUST announced now hint hint yall) but then whe they worked the deal with MS game studio and found they would be out of a "job" in 2010 they made a different project(mainly because MS owned 51 percent and they ORDERED bungie to change) this project was reach. but they had started the blue prints to halo 4 and then a few months later frank quit bungie. this was the first bungie member to leave. it was unknown were he was or why he left. this was made clear in 2008 when he reapeared. 343i went public and it was known that they existed for a year prior to halo waypoint being out. It is now rumored by very reliable sources(especially joystick) that bungie MS took what bungie had done so far with halo 4 and 343 got to work. this makes plenty sense if you ask me. it is known now that 343 had many aplications sent in under the radar from bungie employees and other halo involved people from halos past. many jobs included graphic design and campagin missions. they also had the lead MP design aplications there as well. with all these facts and all these rumors...it seems to me our favorite games new release when it is released will have been being made for a grand total of SIX YEARS! this is more than even the first halo(halo combat evolved was first thought of in 1997 when marathon was offically done for bungie and frank wanted to continue) I do belive that halo 4 will hands down be the greatest halo yet and i can not WAIT to see what 343 has to offer to us! Please note not all of this is 100% fact there are some rumor(but again there reliable people) but i would love to hear from the fellow hardcore halo fans!!! ALSO I WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR I HAVE PLAYED HALO SINCE LITERALLY DAY ONE AND IM NOT A *** WHO CARES ABOT HOW LONG I JUST HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THEM FOR THE CARE THEY PUT INTO HALO!! lol so yeah im not worried bout nothing just pointing it out for future readers!

i agree with alot of what your saying, but it sounds like you just want them to give you a copy of halo 3.....with a easyer forge mode.....thats kinda pointless dude. yes bring back alot from H3 but there were SERIOUS problems with that game to. de rankers specifically. but umm id say fat chance on reach engine going byebye, since its considered best of 2010...and there now enhancing it with crytek AND the recently released Direct-X12.(the D-X11 is what powers halo reach halo wars crysis 2 and the upcoming battlefield 3)so yeah. other wise i like the halo 3 fandom though. but yeah if you want what you listed, you can get it all on your halo 3 disk scrach the forge

i hate cod not because im halo, and not because im a battlefield player either(even though that game is also MUCH better than CoD as well) its the simple fact that times are SO hard i dont feel like wasting money on a game that refuses to try new things,that wont take the time needed to make a great game(because we get great halos cuz they take 3 to 6 years to make, and cod takes 1 to 2 years) i also resent them for there uniriginal ideas. cod 4 was original scrach the fact they 180ed and changed from tactical to (fail)competitive style like halo to compete with them. but the biggest is the CEO of activision and his clear statment to the press. "creating a new engine for the call of duty franchise to run on would be the most counter productive thing we could ever do" those were his words.....really? thats BULL and even you have to know this russianpenguin. im sorry but sadly you are practically one of the only halo fans who can say cod is a "great" game. opinion from me brotha

glad you agree, 343 needs to get it that franks old ideas need to just be enhanced not replaced. give us more of the same but advance it to make it inovative, and ill be as happy as a kid with a new toy!

no offense, but thats what killed halo in the first place. loadouts,AA's,and the worst is the way the gametypes were set up in general. reached ruined everything great about halo 3. and ODST. firefight is for chumps now,matchmaking is so easy and noobish unless you play MLG,customs at first didnt even have alpha zombies,and forge consits of ONE map that you can only use ONE portion of! its rediculous what reach did, and what you mentioned would prove to the world halo is turning into cod. and cod is the most disrespected franchise in the gaming industry,that would be terrible for halo sorry i give to thumbs down on the idea. and i do apologize for spelling but its summer im 15 and i dont care bout my spelling when im typing to my fellow halo fans. just saying bro.

i love the idea, thats what i want to, like i said in a reply i couldnt think of everything on the spot but yes, thats great!

me i feel the same but it does not make me rage, i normaly just say "wow you would Tbag me when your lossing" lol thats every time pretty much, so i get frustrated by it

how? look at what people say about that game. yeah it sells well and its a great game, but its a terible halo game. the game has less players dayly than halo 2, thats sad. when MLG has to make DRASTIC changes just to put halo reach in MLG that should tell you right there why abilitys are WRONG for halo, there no better than **** of dooty perks. sprint is fine but nothing else, and if they put them back in, i promise you halo will die, it will not be able to stand another fail halo. sales dont matter when opinion is against it. im sorry but thats how. and the amror is gay, all you see is every1 useing what lil decent armor they have in the game. they use the big knife shoulder, the sniper chest, the big knees,the mark 6 helmet or any other high helment. lol so thats "how"

i couldnt think of everything on the spot, and its not me, its me and about 25 other dedicated fans like myself speaking in those, alot of ideas i smashed into one idea. but pretty much every single one is a positive, it all needs to be that way. im sorry but armor abilitys ruined reach, the armor itself ruined reach. theres alot of stuff that needs serious change. i dont need you to agree because i have my own opinion and i use that right due to the fact iv been playing since the begining

thank you, theres not much i could think of on the spot, but one things for sure any1 who think armor abilitys are good has a screw loose

Hello My name Is Eric and I have been playing halo since I was a little kid in 2001. there have been many changes to halo since then and the biggest ones are custome games, MP, and forge. I belive that 343 can harness these three contents and make them much better. here are the things I feel should be added to the halo universe. 1.add dedicated servers to all future halo games, this would be perfect for all halo gamers because it would allow 4 players to be in a theater lobby,allow no lag in 4 player co-op,make MP online feel and play like a MLG LAN connection. would allow custome games to be pushed to 32 players in one lobby so you can have better and bigger machinimas(plus zombies would be AWSOME), they also could make one MP gametype have the 32 players. that game would be invasion, it was a one of the many things reach did right, its a great gametype and imagine with 32 players? it would be great. 2.If they are going to continue with bungie's amazing Reach engine, there is one thing they need to fix, the impostering system. yeah its a great revolutionary idea for games, but it needs work, alot of it. 3.Make the armor less marine/average millitary attachments (like grenade straps and spcial knifes or ammo packs) and make the armor more like halo 3 were most of the armor looks badass and not all of it stupid looking for a spartan to use. I do like the armoy ideas though, continue with inovating how many things you can change on your spartan. 4.I say you probly need to do a little more focusing on firefight maps, they suck in reach. but I can give them the benift of dought since unearthed is really good and 343 made it not bungie. 5.also please make MLG's life easyer and our competitive gaming experience more fun by adding more symetrical maps. say you have ten maps, make 4 of them symetrical for MLG,make 2 random Asymetrical maps,make 2 invasion,and two big team.(thats if you make only ten i think the best option is to release 15 installed maps to keep things fresh and you can then perfect the DLC like bungie did with halo 3. 6.DO NOT put kinect into the halo franchise, i understand you guys are part of microsoft, but please dont ruin the best game created since DOOM, Quake and all the other original FPS games. 7.I have heard rumors that you will be able to "customize" weopons and vehicals......all i have to say is if you DARE make our game like CoD there WILL be hell to pay. Im speaking for the WHOLE community of Halo when i say you will loose us, All the hardcore fans will diminsh and move on, I problly will only buy the game after it reduces price so i can get the story and then i would sell it. Im telling you dont you dare allow us to have custome weopons and vehicals thats STUPID. 8. also dont put in custome armor for campagin, this would really mess with the story of john. dont get me wrong it was cool for reach, no other halo should have it unless you do another side game like ODST,or somthing like that. 9.Please make Sprint a button, you have to have watched youstube, or read the forums, or just know from experience. AMROR ABILITYS ARE STUPID. if you disagree with me your not a halo fan, your a 12 year old who spams armor lock,invisability,and jet pack. the evade is ok and the bubble shield is pointless, but sprint is interesting,plus for the button layout is uniqe for it. but we all agree just make sprint a button, dont add armor abillitys, nobody like them and they ruined reach in alot of ways. 10.I know we all loved duel wielding at one point or another, please put that back in, it is uniqe and fun to do. Also put the 60 round assult rifle back in, or at least have both types of rifles. 11. make the elites usable for all gametypes again, you know theres a simple fix to them always being stronger right? EDIT THE SYSTEM! lol just make the elites stronger in invasion but make them equal in normal games so its more fare. (also it would be interesting to see elites have the soul capability to duel wield swords, because it would be interesting to see those swords in mahinimas or in custome games. idk it might be somthing interesting but i can live without) 12.heres the biggest thing and this is directed to Frank O'Conner himself, please make the new trilogy about John's team and finding halsey and mendez(make Sgt. Johnson voice actor mendez voice please). I understand Im a fan and not a producer or developer. I understand that you already did halo 4, and probly started halo 5. but think about what you can do with that story from your book Onyx, it will be beast to see the mystery of that story afterwards. 13. serve halo right, do right by it and make our favorite game even better than before. thats all we can really demand. do that and you will have me sold. I hope you guys take halo all the way and give it back its title as the greatest game on the planet. Feel free to coment or add to my list, i wont opinions from you guys the comunity.(also I would really like to see halo wars 2. it would be interesting to see them make the idea better) I hope you all agree and hopfully 343 will see this post and listen. Frank please im a huge fan and i trust you to make this game amazing.
