Something Frankie has always wanted to do?  My loins are girded in anticipation for swords that shoot Scorpion rounds.

 

Nah, I'm mostly joking.  So muc speculation on what it could be, though.

What developer is capable of a Halo Wars 2 and for which platform?

I really don't know. Emsemble made the game and they went out of business. About a year ago, someone at Bungie spoke out against Halo Wars. He said something like, Ensemble wanted to make an RTS for the Xbox, but Microsoft didn't think there'd be an audience, so MS changed Ensemble's game and gave it a Halo skin, but kept the core game intact. I really don't know if there is any fact behind that, but I wouldn't be surprised. The game is still very popular; last week there were 6,000 people playing online. I would love a sequel, but I don't think it'll ever happen.

The lnked article was updated.  Seems to be talking about a third person Halo game.  This could be referencing that earlier rumor that there was a squad based Halo coming out on a different story than just Chief and Cortana.  It could be true, but could it be fun?

This is the second mention of a squad. I'm not liking the third person view idea though. E3 news no doubt.

Deep, gameplay mechanics aside, how do you feel about 343 having Halo games release between 4 and 5, and 5 and 6, that have different characters?  What if they use it to flesh out the universe and its story besides the events surrounding Chief alone?  What if it is similar to Quantum Break and leverages all Xbox One is pushing to have a Halo game tied to a Halo show that impact each other?

How do you feel about such things?  Do you think 343 should do that, especially considering console life cycle length and that this trilogy only has two games left?

I'm all for new content between major releases. Halo Wars and ODST being good examples. Fleshing out is good. I do not know anything about Quantum Break so I can't answer that. I cant imagine how a game and a TV show could impact each other except through the expansion of the Haloverse. I'm okay with expansion. I suppose a TV series could end and then the game pick up some of the pieces and then the TV series could carry on from the game in a similar fashion. They can't tie them together too much though or non-gamers would become confused and disinterested.

Even without secondary influences, I have problems with nausea playing some game's campaign. Halo has been tolerable but memories of Perfect Dark Zero haunt me. It got so bad, I only had to hear the sound track and I would feel ill.

If it is like the release of ODST/Halo CE Anniversary, there's a useless campaign title (it's gotta be the third-person squad shooter, right?) and the oft-rumored Halo 2 remake we've got coming before we even get a whiff of Halo 5.

I like the idea of expanding the story with new characters.  While I haen't seen the show nor played the game, Defiance is an example of the two forms of media uniting for a continuing story.  Halo exists across the games, books, comic books, a live action movie (Forward Unto Dawn,) and an animated movie (Halo Legends) so I think a TV series could be great.  I was so happy when The Walking Dead was made into a TV series instead of a movie because a series can cover more ground more expeditiously than a movie trilogy, so I am optimistic about the Halo series.

Even I had a bit of a headache from the game.  I don't get motion sickness from games, never really have, but that one got a headache started after a while playing it.

Its many faults aside, one thing I did like was the zooming had different magnification levels based on how far in the zoom trigger was pulled.  I'd like to see it done again, or at least games making use of more than not pressed, and full pressed, trigger states.

A problem with that though was the zoom would slip between different amounts because there was no way to tell how close you were to zooming too far or too little based on the trigger itself :)

 

Also, I'm hoping this Halo game if it is a third person squad based whatever, won't make heavy use of chest high walls.

You left handed too? Frequent migranes, even without your spouse's influence? Maybe it's an anti-lefty game. LOL

Nope I'm a righty lol....something about the motion in FPS campaigns (since H2), makes me sick. They changed my  "regular" chemo around the time H3 came out. That change and first person don't mix lol. PDZ was awesome for about ten minutes then I got soooo sick! I still have it, and Left 4 Dead, and a few others I can't even play lol. Every now and then I convince myself to try them again. *eye roll*  I have trouble learning from my mistakes lmao!

Lol@ migraines without spouse's influence

The only game that has ever game me a migraine while playing was Bulletstorm.  If I played it longer than 1 hour in a single sitting, BAM!, migraine.  It was a great game too, so I had to play it in 30-45 minute sections, save, and come back to play again a few hours later.  Rinse, lather, repeat.
