Microsoft to Announce Next Halo at E3 '09?

"A Gears of War 3 announcement is too soon which leaves the one true "Megaton" franchise capable of whipping the faithful into a frenzy, Halo. No doubt Halo 3: ODST will have a strong presence at this year's show but a spinoff without the Chief doesn't quite cut the mustard. Nothing but a new fully fledged title featuring one of gaming's greatest icons will get the job done." says Drew from That Aussie Game Site.

"Barring some mindblowing new IP there is nothing else to capture the public's imagination on such a scale, there is simply no better time than now to drop the Gravity Hammer on its competitors with a teaser for Halo 4 or Halo Origins or the like."
