New Halo game to be unveiled at E3?
Category: Xbox 360, Posted: 07/04/2008 at 11:24AM CDT by Demetri Kouvalis, Features Editor
Many people are saying that this year's E3 wont be as spectacular as previous ones because for one reason or another many developers and publishers are staying away from the convention this year. One company that we know will make a presence however is Microsoft on the sides of development and publishing. Since late Spring the internet was able to uncover most of the E3 2008 lineup that Microsoft has been planning to show except for two titles that still remain a secret to date.
Speculation has risen that one of these two new games is a new Halo game. Whether this new Halo game is the one Peter Jackson was supposed to be manning, or the rumored 3rd-person prequel is still anyone's guess. According to a rumor on Sarcastic Gamer, the fourth installment is already in development:
"A very good and anonymous source tells us that Halo 4 is already in full development over at Bungie."
Unfortunately there was no further info available on this particular game, so we can't trust Sarcastic Gamer's rumor.
So what do you think? Is it time for Microsoft to unveil another Halo game at this stage of the Xbox 360's life? Seeing how Microsoft has said that there are indeed two more unannounced games to be unveiled at E3 nullifies the fact that it's Halo Wars.
Expect up-to-date information on all of the games at this years E3 right here at GamerNode, where we promise to deliver quick on-the-spot reporting, interviews, and inside looks for the games you look forward to hearing about most!

sux I'll miss most of the E3 coverage. There's a lot of awesome I'm expecting to hear about/see in action.
A new Halo? Meh, not so much interested. There's other games I want the dirt on, like a playable Fallout 3 (perhaps) and Mass Effect 2.
Bleh. Bungie are clearly talented developers and I don't want them to be ham stringed by Halo, I'd prefer a new original IP.
bungie can so make better games.
I'm certain that it'll be a new Halo game. The back page hint in EDGE (my most trusted mag, btw), shows a halo style menu, as a teaser. Edge are always the best with exclusives, and so I'm fairly cetrian on this one. :D
Would it be the remake of Marathon they wanted to do to make it fall inline with Halo and that Master Cheif is now the character in it? Halo 4 : Marathon?
Could they please keep to what they say!? last i heard bungie wouldn't do more halo games... atleast not with the name halo
I like the Halo 4 = Marathon idea. Just remake Marathon with today's technology, show that the character is Master Chief every now and then, and never have him actually TALK.
