Microsoft registers domain names for Halo 7-9, Sony loses several years of sleep

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2012/09/14/microsoft-registers-halo-7-9-domains-via-brand-protection-company.aspx

Precautionary, but hey, who am I to judge?

great news.

4, 5, 6 were expected for another trilogy...but 8 and 9?

Hell, as long as the story doesn't stagnate I'm good with it.

Not surprising, but I hope Microsoft gets some new IPs (that are NOT Kinect-oriented) ready for next-gen. Otherwise, purchasing the next Xbox may be hard to justify when Nintendo and Sony are producing numerous exclusives.

And with this, they have the next gen covered as this will force lems to buy Kinect 2.0... err, I mean the nextbox.

I do not care, unless they make Halo's gameplay good where the guns are actually powerful and don't take hundreds of rounds to kill someone, and you can sprint freely without a perk and aim down sights, then Halo 7-9 will be a joke just like Halo 3/ODST/Reach were. Plus the Halo campaigns were trash this gen, so bad and boring. Too short. Just stick to COD instead.

But this is good for the Halo fans I guess.

How long will I have to even enjoy my one 360 game of the year? Halo 5 shouldn't be out until the 720 is out and 1-2 years after if not more. They give you ridiculous ranks to try to get and the next game is out already.

To each their own

the original Halo story ended back in 2007 and Bungie is no longer writing Halo so it should be interesting to see where 343 takes it.

lol, so just because Sony doesn't have any franchises with staying power this is a bad thing? I'm sure you guys are totally ok with Nintendo releasing Mario 50 though, right?

[QUOTE="platniumgamer"]hopefully we never finish the fight... keep them coming.

Everybody has a price, you'd do well to remember that my friend... SDC will get you!! :twisted:

Could have seen that coming 10 miles away, with 50/50 eyesight.

That's good news.

I would assume Halo 7-9 are a totally new trilogy, just as Halo 4-6 are.

To the people complaining, acquiring domain names doesnt always mean there will be a game with that title. It prevents idiots from buying those sites and holding them hostage, forcing a game company to pay a mark-up for them. Happens all the time, not just in gaming. Open up your mind people...navyguy21

Im susprised they havent registered Halo 100 to 1000

Lol that picture is funny. But I was just giving my honest opinion on Halo, I thought it sucked this gen. I said though at the end that if Halo fans are happy about this then good for them. Just because I don't care for it doesn't mean others do not. If Halo fans want 100 Halo games then give it to them.

It was a fair post.

7 does not mean bad at all, it means I enjoyed some aspects of it. Halo has pretty decent multiplayer and it is fun with friends, it's very feature rich too. But in my honest opinion I think it lacks in quality that other shooters have, I find Halo has outdated gameplay.

And I rank Resistance in the same range as Halo so don't think I'm saying that as a cow. It's my honest opinion.

I love me some Halo but they havent even released Halo 4 yet and they are already talking 7, 8 and 9? WTF???

[QUOTE="Blabadon"] It was a fair post. A complete flip-flop from your "At least the multiplayer was fun and they're all 7-7.5 games" posts though. Unless you're saying 7 means a game sucks. Blabadon

They do suck compared to COD and KZ. Compared to other shooters Halo is decent. Too bad their campaigns are garbage this gen. Seriosly Halo was WAY better last gen.

I agree with this. Also, from what I heard, the pre-orders of the Wii U are selling out, so yeah.

And people are saying Mario is a milked franchise?

LOL

Halo's gonna become a yearly franchise with just as many spin-offs Mario has (prepare for Halo Kart and Halo All Stars :P ).

more milkage:lol:

I can't wait until Halo surpasses Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat and Final Fantasy, and it's still defended as a ripe cow.

I think all I have to say here is "Drum Villain".
