At Microsoft's E3 2011 keynote today at the Galen Center, Halo 4 was officially announced -- surprise!
Master Chief and Cortana are back (kicking off a new trilogy, apparently), the brief teaser trailer showed. 343 Industries is at the reigns with a Holiday 2012 launch date proposed.

No where near as bad as activision. there are tons more call of duty games than there are halo games. Call of duty pc games plus all their expansions included.

Yeah 3 was supposed to be the end of Master Chiefs story but with the way they ended it i had always hoped that they would come back to it and with it will be the return of the BR

Yeah well at least it will only be 3 more, i also hope that they space them out nice enough not year after year like the COD franchise.

OK, in all honesty, I actually didn't see this one coming; they did say "trilogy" and I always figured they'd wrap the Legendary ending of Halo3 up in a novel, maybe explaining how Chief is headed towards the micro Dyson Sphere that Halsey and the Spartans are stranded on. Of course, it would also make sense that they continue it, since the reason no Forerunners were on the Shield World is because Mendicant Bias was sided with the Flood; in other words, there may be Flood (or even a Gravemind) on the shield world.
At any ate, I really hope this doesn't mean Microsoft is planning on releasing a new console anytime particularly soon. I'd like Halo4 to be for the 360, thank you.

They are milking this game like activision is milking Call of duty :(Not true, They even said before Reach that they wanted to continue Master Cheif's story, and thus they did, I see nothing wrong with this game, other than the fact 343 Industries are developing it.
At any rate, I really hope this doesn't mean Microsoft is planning on releasing a new console anytime particularly soon. I'd like Halo4 to be for the 360, thank you.There would be no need to announce the next console, There is still so much to be done with the Xbox 360, I doubt they would just let it die and move on. So yes, Halo 4 will be on the xbox 360, I don't see them announcing the next console until 2013-2014.

It would be kinda nice if they did this game the same way Bungie did ODST, where the campaign is new but the multiplayer is from Reach. That way, I won't feel like all my work in Reach was for nothing. I'm positive the only reason Halo3 lasted as long as it did was because they bundled the old multiplayer with a new campaign;if ODST had it's own multiplayer, we wouldn't have seen nearly as many people on Halo3 for nearly as long. Plus, if we will still be using Reach multiplayer, 343 will still have a reason to make DLC for it. And finally, I really like Bungie's website for being the base of operations for Halo; I don't wanna have to go to a new website where all my stuff is blank.

I have to say that I am really looking forward to this game. I hope Microsoft introduces a whole new set of enemies and expands the story and world of Halo.
