Halo 4: Can We Trust 343 Industries?

X360: Halo 4 is taking Bungie’s series in some new directions, but can 343 Industries ever live up to the hype it’s been creating for this new version of Halo?

Judging by what I have seen
Hell yes, even the most hardened Halo fan will admit Bungies efforts were getting stale. 343 will breath much needed life back into Halo

I agree with you. Reach imo SP was fun but MP maps sucked until I got Halo CEA map pack but ive found my self going back to halo 3 for MP.

From the Demo ive seen I cant wait for Halo 4 and I think 343 will keep the game and Name going for a long time to come as Bungie seemed to of lost there way with Halo.

I had reach and I thought the campaign was really boring. Without having live I assumed the multiplayer was why the game was getting such high scores?

Reach SP was very poor compared to the book.

343 is like the all star team of the game development world. It would be very hard for them to do anything less than amazing.

To be fair, from what I've seen, I'm very confident this is going to be an excellent Halo and bloody good FPS, too.

In 343i I trust .

[360GamerFG]

I love Bungie for creating the Halo universe. It is simply the best story and the best multiplayer for a FPS and they created that.

But I also think that 343 industries is a team you can't find anywhere else. MS hired from Kojima Productions, iD Software, Epic, Rockstar, Pixar, Rare, Bungie, Valve, Pandemic, EA, Retro Studios, Bioware and a couple of others. I really want to see what they see next for the franchise.

I think the 3 Top developers of this industry will be 343 industries, Retro and Naughty Dog.

You can also through a few people from Guerilla Games in there as well.

If anyone does some research into the people that make up 343i, they will see its an extremely talented group of developers. The best part is, a lot of the people working on Halo 4 are people that are fans of the series and actually chose to work their because they make Halo games.

Everything I've heard and seen has looked fantastic, the first native HD Halo game, and the online is shaping up to be the most inventive to date. Its an absolute must have game for me.

this game does look like it's gonna be awesome, I felt let down by what bungie did with reach, so it's nice to play a halo that brings it back to the reason halo sparked a global interest in console mp fps, yeah that's right, there were shooters before modern warfare believe it or not

[vividi]

yes, why not?

[Dms2012]

I think it's going to come out awesome, and it's looking more promising than Reach. I was actually a little let down with Reach, mainly by the multiplayer maps and the continuous lopsided battles.

Hmm, Trust is earned, not given away, Halo 4 looks awesome, I have no doubt it will be the best in series since Halo 1&2, which i adore. The question for me is, how good will Halo 5 & 6 be?, how long will 343 Industries be able to up the ante each new Halo game? & will Microsoft deadlines in the Future hamper Halo games & force 343 to cut content, thereby, hurting the series, as was done with Bungie?. Big Publishers are famous for there deadline demands.
