Shocker: MS working on a shedload of Halo games photo

Do you like Halo? You better learn to love it, because Microsoft is pulling out all the stops to make sure there's more Halo than you can handle in the future. MS' Phil Spencer has stated that there are at least three or four teams working on new Halo games.

"There are more than two or three teams building Halo games right now," Spencer claimed. "Some of them we will own, some of them we won't."

There are currently four Halo projects that we have heard about. There is of course Halo Wars, an RTS pegged for release next year, the Halo Chronicles game under development by Peter Jackson's studio, a rumored Bungie title to be published by Microsoft and the inevitable Halo 4, which some believe will launch with Microsoft's next console. 

In between all that, we still have Hollywood types wanting to resurrect the scrapped movie project, so it seems like the Halo series will be going strong for the next few years. Maybe it means they'll bring back that Gamer Fuel sh*t. It tasted like sweets.

There's also,
Super Halo Kart Cute little spartans and arbiters driving around in even cuter and littler warthogs and ghosts.
Halo: the madden chronicles Spartans and brutes slamming in to each other on the playing field. You just know this would sell like hotcakes to a certain demographic.

I don't trust Halo Wars, but Halo Chronicles and Halo4 better be awesome. Otherwise, I'll complain.

So long as they don't suck, I'm fine with it.

Oh, and I don't want a "Halo 4".

Even us Halo fans are wincing at this one.

I would like to see more things done with the universe story wise, this could be cool. They have a lot of material there that could work better in other games. Halo gets a bad rap because of all the market hype in my opinion. Its not even close to being the legendary game Microsoft wants it to be, but its certainly not a bad series. It just needs to be given more thought in some areas that don't explode and go boom.

as long as they are good games...who the hell cares. It's a good Ip with lots to explore.

I agree with the above poster...halo wars kinda looks like garbage. But halo 4 and the others could potentially be amazing...You have to remember what halo has done for multiplayer in games. It's constantly revolutionizing multiplayer. I love it.

Im looking forward to Halo Chronicles, as long as youre not Master Chief and are ODSTs. Dont care much for Halo Wars, and Halo 4 better be a billion times better than Halo 3, since Halo 3's campaign wasnt that great and multiplayer was basically just like Halo 2's but with less glitches and cheating.

I'm not sure about the whole Halo 4 but there will definitely be a Halo game that shows what happened to the Chief and that planet.

Pretty keen on Halo Wars but not jumping up and down for it. Still looks awesome but RTS games tend to be a bitch on consoles... I'm still having a hard time finishing C&C 3 on the 360

there was only one good halo. The first one. because bungie wasn't ball-and-chained to Microsoft, and they were until halo 3, and now they are free, and probably uber happy.
