Rumors of Next Halo Game

By Digital Trends Staff July 14, 2008

Those who completed Halo 3 at its hardest level saw a movie featuring hero Master Chief in the hypsersleep chamber of a spacecraft orbiting a mysterious planet, giving rise to speculation that the next episode in the series would find him on that planet, fighting for survival.

According to rumors, however, that will not be the case – and the next episode in the Halo game series won’t involve Master Chief at all, according to reports on Gamespot UK.

A source within game developer Bungie told the site that it would be “a cross between Ghost Recon and Gears of War,”a “more bloody, violent and grim” story of war between UNSC forces and an empire called the Covenant. In co-op mode gamers will be able to play as an entire squad through the whole game.
