they kind of did, its called halo wars. and that probably will be the last one. because i mean what else can tehy do for another game? except make the SAME thing but further story line. just read the books or something. halo 4 in my opinion, is a dumb idea. they should start on another game
They're making Halo ODST and Halo: Reach. You know that right? You can't call them "Halo 4" though, since ODST is like a substory and Reach is, I guess, a prequel.
Cliffhangers are used to make people buy the next game in the series, not to just leave people wondering. Plus, why would they just end one of the highest selling series in the history of video games? They're going to milk it for all its worth, then dump it when people get tired of the same plot line
ODST's a minor expansion pack, only reason its going to sell anything is because they are including a beta for Halo: Reach
Not in video games. Books, yeah, they use cliffhangers to make you think, but video games are designed to sell, that's their point. So, if a plot wraps up neatly every single game people start to lose interest and don't get hyped up for the next one. Something that has a fluid plot like Halo, where its not just run N' gun but an actual storyline, is going to try to make people wait and rush out to buy the next game, and cliffhangers are one way to do that
No. Period. Sure they can make other Halo's like ODST but seriously, have you seen the end of the third? they will basically never find him because he's floating around in a destroyed cyro-chamber in space. So there's your awnser.
