Halo 4's billion year secret: The full Halo timeline

CVG writes: When 343 Industries revealed the first in-game footage from Halo 4, shortly before March's Game Developers Conference, they did it a little too quietly.

Franchise director Frank O'Connor, creative director Josh Holmes, and incredi-named executive producer Kiki Wolfkill rolled their tape, sat back, and refused to say anything concrete about the game. The footage, they assumed, speaks for itself - and it does, but only in the context of a billion years' worth of Halo history.

Now THAT'S what I call an article!

And I love the look of the forerunner, its like a Geth has been pumping iron.

This game is going to Rock.I can't wait!!! Such a great story being told here. The new engine tech really looks to set a new level of graphic fidelity in console gaming.

Cant wait for this game.

I have a good feeling about it. I think 343 Studios is going to surprise all the non-believers.

That is why I love Halo. Amazing story. And I love Master Chief and all the characters. :D

Except Noble team.

[lategamer]

Jorge was a great character, his sacrifice was great. I was also a bit fond of Noble Six, everyone else meh.

Always thought halo had a interesting story, except halo 2 ending we can all agree on throwing pad/keyboard at the screen at the end of that.

But when you first meet the flood, that was scary as hell. It was scary because it wasnt expected, like half the game ur fighting the covenant, & then WTF is that.

That is ALOT of backstory. They could make so many story driven games and they would probably never get stale.

YES. I'm glad 343 is not going to be altering their canon like Bungie did with Reach.

Bungie really dropped the ball with Noble Team and Spartan 3's being on Reach. That and a bunch of other shit...just shat all over the canon established by Fall of Reach.
