Brand new game. No Master Chief.

I'm not a big Halo fan but it looks like this could be pretty good. Hopefully it will be a grittier game like it was rumored. Weird calling it Halo 3: anything though. Seems like they would want a new title.

Ok, I'm confused.

Expansion or new game? Did they specifically say? Do the achievements that were just tagged to our Halo 3 profile belong to this game? Also, if it doesn't come out until next fall, the recent achievements seem a bit premature.
At any rate, I've loved all three games so this is a no brainer. I just hope they don't turn it into Ghost Recon. And where are some new Halo 3 MP maps?

I've never been a huge Halo fan (though I've played thru all 3) but this looks fantastic!

This game is, i believe, a standalone single player disc game. Presumably it will have 1000 points on its own.

No MC no sale for me. Sorry.
I hate, well I'm really not into that, recon/tactical shooters. If this is going to be like R6V or that kinda games I'm not interested.
But yeah, my main reason would be no Master Chief.

I'm down with fighting with marines, I just don't want a slow tactical approach where I have to control my squad. Rainbow Six was fun, but Halo is about running and gunning. Give me some moderately intelligent NPCs that I don't have to babysit.

It looks like it should be called Halo: Dark. I'm a bit confused about it, but I've played games that looked worse...I'm in.

So is this going to be like playing the Space Marines that Samus always has to clean up after?
Halo without Master Chief?
What's next, Link-less Zelda? Star Wars with no R2-D2?
Blasphemy.

It cracks me up that people are like "I won't buy it without Master Chief OMG what will we do oh noes!!!". Give me a break. Who really cares? You're still going to control a character, it's still Halo, it's still the same type of game, etc.
And before anyone even tries to make the comparison, no, it's NOT like getting a Mario game without Mario, considering that character has unique abilities. Anything that Master Chief has can easily be used by a Marine or whatever.
Is it even confirmed that MC ISN'T in the game?

What the fuck? That'd be more than a two year gap between 3 and 4 - the same as between Infinity Ward's CoD 2 & 4 (which included building a new engine for CoD4). What's so crazy about this line of thought?
