    Halo 3 and Bioshock didn't really get anywhere near the backlash that GTA IV did.

    Worth noting as well that a lot of the Halo 3 hate came from people that owned neither the game or the console. Not that I'm saying it's flawless, because it clearly wasn't. It's just games like that tend to be targets for system wars.

    Yeah Halo 3 is one of my favourite games of all time. I've put more hours into that than any game in the last 5 years or so.

    I'd like to see bungie bring a leftfield idea, similar to what Rockstar did with tabletennis, and execute it really well.

    I'd disagree with that - it all seems pretty even amongst the three.

    Having played all 3, I can say that they were all overhyped and a bit average....

    I mean, they have said that at the moment they are concentrating on the 360 but never ruled out any other formats and why should they?

    The more consoles their games go on the better surely?
    Why are you so keen to see Bungie go multiplatform? What's wrong with the 360?
    Nothings wrong with the 360 but surely with us all being lovers of gamers, we all want as many people as poss. to enjoy the great games?

    And saying that, multi format is the way to go?

    There was barely any backlash for Bioshock, some more for Halo 3 and a shitload for GTA IV (still going on now).

    Wasn't Halo a trilogy? It would make no sense to call it Halo anymore. As you say it'll probably just be "Master Chief" or something. That could work. A bit like "Rocky Balboa".
    The story arc in 1, 2 and 3 was a trilogy, not the whole Halo concept. I don't think the next game would be 'Halo 4', but it'll probably be called Halo something. It's too big of a brand to not call it that.

    But it makes no sense plot-wise, does it? The Halo rings wouldn't be involved.

    I'm sure people would get the gist with 'Master Chief' as the name and the right picture on the box.

    There's tonnes of backlash for Bioshock every time it gets brought up. True you could maybe say that it's more criticism than a backlash, but it's still there - so much so that KG even had to write an entire essay on the bloody subject!

    Though, to be fair, the lack of a backlash about Halo 3 is more to do with the fact that everyone of true intelligence already knows that Halo is shit.

    Well, maybe. But it'd still be the Halo universe, wouldn't it? I'm not sure not having an actual Halo ring involved would matter that much.

    Personally though, what I'd like to see from the next game is something completely different. Now that Master Chief and Cortana are off floating through space, I think it'd be great to have them land on a new world. Having to make use of new weapons and to fight brand new enemies that have nothing to do with the original games. They could be released as episodes on Xbox Live or something, it'd be great.

    What about the Forerunners?

    Are you suggesting the Halo rings will be involved? God I hope not. As much as I love the plot, I'd like something new, not just new characters.

    Once a brand is established it can go wherever it likes and keep the name. When was the last time you saw a carphone in Carphone Warehouse?

    I'm certain any future Halo related titles will have Halo in the title.

    I see your point, but I just think it'd be like making a Ghostbusters film with no ghosts, or something like that.

    Not defensive about it... it's just we saw those stupid comments when they split with MS. It's no more likely now than it was then.
    Is there anyone out there that actually thinks that ms wouldn't put some kind of construct in place that ensures that doesn't run off to the competition without ms's consent before they sold off the shares?

    Yes, ms was born yesterday....

    Frank O'Connor has close ties with people at Future so im guessing he is their contact. Halo with out Master Chief is like tuna with no sweetcorn.

    ?continues to eat his tuna and sweetcorn baguette

    What a load of bollocks. So CVG read a rumour from an unknown source on "sarcastic gamer" about the next halo game and decide to make up a news story about it.

    What would be the point in Halo with no Master Chief anyway? Who would you be, some stupid grunt?

    It’s obviously going to be an off-shoot of the 'Halo universe'. It’s called milking a successful franchise and everyone does it!
