Halo 4?

On September 25th it was announced that there was a new Halo related game in the works. Bungie (the company that brought you Halo 1-3) also posted a teaser trailer on the website which can be found here:


Most of the trailer is cinematic and doesn't represent what the game itself will actually look like. But, there is an instance or two in the trailer that shows a street through what seems to be the visor of a 'Shock Trooper' (Shock Troopers being the soldiers dressed in black armor found in Halo 2 and 3). It is through this that the trailer gives us a certain degree of insight as to how the game could potentially look 'graphic wise' when it is completed.

I realize that this all might seem to be old news, but today there was a new element integrated into the mix.

Microsoft Game Studies (MGS) has hired Ryan Payton. Payton was the assistant producer of the award-winning game, 'Metal Gear Solid 4'. According to MGS, Payton will be working on Halo related games - one of these being the game advertised in the recent trailer. Hopefully his expertise will add yet another degree of experience to the team that has brought gamers around the world hours of fun.
