Halo 4 from Gearbox?

“Well, I’ll tell you, there’s a couple of games that Gearbox has announced,” he said. “We’ve announced Borderlands, and we’ve announced Aliens Colonial Marines with SEGA and Fox, and it’s no secret that we have some other things in development.

“[Halo] Haha! We’re not going to talk about anything…”

“We can’t talk about that,”

i hope not :( Because Gearbox games are not so good ...

Old rumor is old. A developer from Gearbox moved to 343 Industries, that's probably where the rumor spawned from. 343 will be handling the next Halo title (after Reach). Great people are on the team, such as Ryan Payton, Corrine Yu, Frankie, Voc, Nathan Walpole, and more.

If Gearbox is doing something Halo, it's probably Halo 3 PC.
 
Noooooooooooooo I want it to be from Frankie and friends! :(

Yo, guys. Alex seropian is speaking at a summer academy thing I'm doing for university tomorrow. Any questions you guys think would be interesting?
Forget questions, run up to him, give him a hug and say thanks for the gift of Halo.

I'm curious, do you feel the same way about the multiplayer medals in Halo 3? They are larger and more prominent than either sets of digits, although they don't pop in the center of the screen or over your target.

It does not matter if the HUD contains the score, medals, skulls, radar, compass, time of day, weather report, news ticker, Viagara advertisements, top 40 music chart, or Michael Jackson updates. As long as all i see between myself and my enemy is my gun, reticule, spent casings and sweet sweet blood-soaked bullets.

This news is super old and the project is dead. This "omfg everyone will die when they see this" project was a Duke Nukem Prequel, but it got cancelled.

I see your point, but as Ghal pretty much said, Firefight is supposed to be a bit arcade-y, from what I can tell. To really get sucked in, you'll have to go for the campaign.

Firefight is a perfect mode for after you've done everything else. You've conquered the campaign, obtained all the achievements, now you can try a mode of survival and see how long you can last. I'm sure it will be crazy fun with a team of buddies and many laughs will ensue.

Ask him what it's like to go from the top of the game development world to selling 2,300 copies of a politically themed party game featuring a monkey.
 
Oh come on now guys, Halo and COD are two very different shooters. There is plenty of room for both and both are very good, but just provide a very different experience. Let's not go down to that level. FPS love need not be mutually exclusive.

Interest piqued. Did you fill in some gaps to try to make more "solid hills"?

By gaps to you mean geomerging? If that's the case, then no. I suck at Geomerging(but I can merge items), which is why one of my Crypt maps is never going to be done the way I want it to. :lol
:(
 
Well my copy of Halo 3 has officially gone ka-put. Looks like I'll just wait for ODST for Halo 3 action. It went out on me before, but I fixed it by installing a good copy to the hard-drive. Now my disc must not even be recognized by the 360 because it's not working at all. Good thing ODST has all the multiplayer. I'm a bit sad though because my disc was from the Legendary Edition. =\

Have your disc go kaput 4 more times like me then we'll chat. :P

looking good. i agree with ghal that you should make it a little wider though. actually the middle of your map is looking like a shrunk down version of one of my other maps platform feel free to check it out and maybe take some ideas.

i sent you a fr but i think your list is full :(. i was hoping to catch you online working on it at some point and fly around to check it out.
Yeah, the side walkways are going to be wider. I've just been working an the bases today.

My list is full, I clear some people off I never play with and send out some tonight

Back from an awesome honeymoon, the wedding went great, good times were had. :D

Awesome. :D

(I hope you didn't make a big deal of that with your wife...)

Because I didn't get around to it earlier - congrats!

Ryan Payton,.

The same Ryan Payton that ruined Metal Gear Solid for many fans of that series with Portable Ops? Yeah, faith in Halo 4 is now low from that news. Thanks, bro.

The only good thing Ryan Payton brough to MGS was pausing the LONG ASS CUTSCENES in MGS4

I'm pretty sure Ryan Payton did more than that, but you sound bitter right now. Not that I would know much about Payton but I thought MGS fan's liked him.

Congrats! Now if only can convince my fiancee to get room 117 without raising too much suspicion when we go to St. Lucia in March. :D


More on topic, I played a few games tonight with my old man. (Long story short, he watched me play Halo 2 back in the day and showed enough interest to warrant me purchasing him an Xbox and Live subscription. Didn't know at the time I was going to have to buy a second 360 later on for H3 so that we could play together while I was off at college...)

He always tells me that I should be more of a 'leisure player' instead of so competitive all the time. He's right.

It really loses it's meaning when you ask for room 117.
 
Some of my more interesting message of late.

This was immediately followed up with...

I try to avoid people with identity crises.

I get a lot of modding solicitations, but this was the first to set up a contest for the privilege of being modded by him.

Because Bungie themselves don't know.
 
lucky Ghaelon. Most of my messages consist of "wow good job modding fag" "omg i'm gonna report yous for standbying" "wow you have no pro's on your friends list nub" "go to an event loser" "if i only played halo 24/7 like you" "get a life" etc etc etc
 
Can't wait until ODST hits so kids stop asking or caring about a piece of head armor.

It should have been permitted from the get-go, but instead you see kids hacking accounts, spamming stupid messages, and going crazy over it because it's something they can't have.
 
You know, I really need to save more of my Xbox Live messages.

I always love the ones that reply about 2 minutes after the first message with "WHY ARE YOU IGNORING ME!?" Its like some people are desperate.
 
I've never recieved any hate mail over XBL. I'm thinking this a good thing, but then again, maybe I'm not making a big enough splash, talking enough trash for someone to want to waste those few minutes writing to me. That and probably the fact that I don't have recon.

I'm not sure how I feel about the concept of recon. I've had my fare share of messages and friend requests just for playing with people that have it. I really don't mind deleting the messages and get a kick out of reading many of them. The real joy comes from messing with these people. If it weren't for the hacking I'd undoubtedly say I've enjoyed people's infatuation with the armor. MS's security is a fucking joke though which is the thing that makes it questionable. It's been two years though, so I think it's good time to make recon rain.

I think I'd still like it if Bungie made a shitton of permutation for Reach, some of which are hard to get, and others as rare as recon. Overall it's fun and if you don't want messages don't wear the things and block communications with those that spam.
