Halo Infinity domain names registered

Web listings tied to Microsoft point to Halo factory building something new in first-person shooter franchise.

54 Comments

Halo 4 is on the horizon, and if new registered domain names are any indication, Microsoft may also be planning something related to Halo Infinity.

Master Chief: To infinity and beyond.
Master Chief: To infinity and beyond.

As spotted by Fusible, several Halo Infinity domain names were registered this week, including HaloInfinity.net and HaloInfinityMultiplayer.com. The Web addresses were registered through Mark Monitor, a brand protection agency, which counts Microsoft among its clients. As Fusible points out, Microsoft.com is registered through Mark Monitor.

None of the Web pages are active as of press time.

Infinity was a multiplayer level that was released only for the PC version of Halo: Combat Evolved. It is also related to UNSC Infinity, a vessel that first appeared in the Halo: Grasslands novel.

A Microsoft representative told GameSpot, "Microsoft often acquires various domain names as part of its ongoing business strategy, but beyond that we have no comment." Halo 4 is due out on the Xbox 360 this holiday season. For more on that game, check out GameSpot's latest coverage.

If its true, Infinity makes me think of a sort of unlimited game...sort of akin to an mmo, or a persistant universe sort of thing....maybe a lot of customisation. If it is something like that, might be one to watch - especially if it drops that MLG shi* - Too many wannabes and angry 'pros' who play these games for the idea of fame then for fun e.g. ITzxxXPRO SNIPEZMLGXxxx ect ect

I wonder if it is another spin off the series like halo wars or if it refers to "halo 5"

Interesting, if I recall correctly Infinity was a PC exclusve map for the original Halo. Probably unrelated, but a man can think.

@ Max_160, Microsoft didn't promise anything about the last 3 Halos coming to the PC. What are you talking about this "promises".

I bet a lot of those original development team members for Halo 1, 2, and 3 are banging their heads against their desks now. How do we go from 'Finish the Fight!' to letsextendtheseries and kill what could have been left another sci-fi legend? I liked the uncertainty of Halo 3's ending, even if there is room for expansion within the universe.

@RobertWampler: That is actually false. Bungie confirmed that Halo and Marathon are two completely different universes. Halo can be considered its "spiritual sequel."

@GamerLegend10 To help him voice his hollow, and uninteresting opinion? I love how he's supposedly a "P.C elitist", but his spelling is so horribly bad, it's borderline "L337 SP34K".

My first thought was a social network/stat tracking service to compete with Battlelog and Call of Duty Elite. I mean, Halo is the third wheel in the tri-dynasty of FPS juggernauts, and they're the only one that doesn't support this kind of feature. Maybe they're going to launch their equivalent service with Halo 4? Personally I hope those of you who have predicted PC-ports of the missing Halo games are right, but I doubt that's it.

Me and my friend have wanted them to make a battle game similar to battlefront as Halo practically screams for a game of such premis... hope this is finally it.

If I had to guess at a genre it would be MMO. Or some sort of free-to-play multiplayer.

@GreySeven Chief plays the straight man to Cortana. He's quiet, but when he does speak, it's usually a fairly witty response to something Cortana has said. With Gordon Freeman being your display pic, I'm surprised you can't appreciate subtle characterization in an FPS hero.

Note for article edit: The book is called "Glasslands" as in "lands that have been glassed" - not Grasslands. Easy mistake to make, but might want to change it before the really militant Halo fans cry fowl.

@GreySeven. Now that's Funny. Master John-117 has way more personality that Gordon Freeman, and in general he had more personality then most FPS protagonist.

@OleanderX Why would one domain be called "Halo Infinity Multiplayer" if it's a book?
