Xbox One's Halo Sequel to be named 'Halo Next'?

Hardcore Gamer: So this one is a bit interesting. While we’ve all assumed that the newest Halo would be named Halo 5, continuing the numbered sequel system that has been a staple of the series with the exception of Halo Reach, the Official Xbox Magazine seems to have different read on the situation.

Please Microsoft, PLEASE don't follow suit with Nintendo.

SynGamer3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

Agreed. "Halo Next" is a terrible name. I would rather them use Halo 5 instead of Next. Or how about Halo: Evolved (instead of "combat evolved" like the first one), or some other name, instead of a number.

nukeitall3808d ago

It's obviously not Halo Next. That sounds more like an internal name for the "next" Halo game!

dedicatedtogamers3808d ago

I think it will be Halo 5, since they started a new trilogy when they made Halo 4.

Hicken3808d ago

And it obviously wasn't the Xbox One, either...

Irishguy953808d ago

Oh and here I was thinking they would call it something good like...like

Halo One

Derp MS

Ricegum3808d ago

Halo One
Halo: Kinect Wars
Halo Cloud
Halo: DRM Evolved

I'm going for any one of these.

badz1493808d ago

everything else is better than Halo ONE. the Way Nintendo put U is every title now is dumb....and DESPERATE!

voodoochildnyc3808d ago

thats a code name obviously. we all know its gonna be called:

Halo 4-2 ONE: Naming Evolved

UltimateMaster3808d ago

Boy was I wrong. I thought it would be called 'Halo One". I lost the bet to my friend, now i have to shave one of my eye brows.

trywizardo3808d ago

maybe they used next for shortcut of "next gen"
but i hope it would be halo 5 not halo : something -_-

XiSasukeUchiha3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

Halo Next what now? Halo Next 2

ChaosKnight3808d ago

I mean, they did name their console "Xbox One" so anything is possible at this point.

lets_go_gunners3808d ago

How dumb are people? It's halo 5...343i did state this is chiefs game..Every halo with chief in it is an official sequel so...Halo 5.

iamnsuperman3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

True though the cover is unusual with Halo Next. Next Halo makes sense not Halo Next if what you say is true. Halo Next sound like, albeit a bad, name

voodoochildnyc3808d ago (Edited 3808d ago )

you're use of albeit is, albeit a weird, broccoli. lol jk

admiralvic3808d ago

According to Rob Semsey (Senior PR manager for Halo and Forza) "Halo on Xbox One not listed due to official name of the next title not announced yet." in response to it not being listed on Xbox Wire. If the game was simply called Halo 5, then there wouldn't be a need to keep it secret, so there is a chance (no matter how small) that it will be something else.

Master Chief Became More Than A Machine In 343's Halo

In Halo 4, 5, and Infinite, Master Chief became a more nuanced, human character.

In spite of the Halo series’ struggles, 343 deserves praise for adding nuance and characterisation to the ever-beating heart of Halo - The Master Chief. Playing through Infinite, it's abundantly clear that the events of the current and previous trilogies have irrevocably changed the iconic hero. He’s no longer the ‘blank slate’ that was previously presented by Bungie. He’s a fatigued, damaged and fallible protagonist, and one who is meandering through currents of grief, while reveling in his newfound agency. Giving the Chief a compelling and meaningful voice was no small feat, and 343 should be proud of that victory.

This article completely misses part of the appeal of the original iteration of character in the original game trilogy. It was the Chief and Cortana vs an entire alien collective. The blank slate Bungie displayed in their games was genius, he was an mysterious hero a wide audience could identify with because he wasn't as clearly defined as most characters.

The books added a lot of lore and backstory but most Halo players just want a fun game with exposition that doesn't get in the way of gameplay, it's why the Cortana level in Halo 3 was derided.

Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty.

BandarHub455d ago

A lot of people give the 343 version of Master Chief a lot of slack.
But Fundamentally he is still the same character, he just has a couple more dialogues. He has not changed in terms of attitude.
"Not every character has to be a damaged soyboy, a soldier has to suck it up and do his duty."
And that's what he has done at the end of the day, he did his duty. Watch his partner die, and was ready to destroy the weapon in Halo infinite....he is still the same soilder that everyone remembers

Halo Infintes one was a nice balance between both.

slate91455d ago

Chief and the halo franchise became a joke under 343

Sciurus_vulgaris455d ago

The 343i Master Chief has is based on the books. However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion.

Obscure_Observer455d ago

"However, in Halo 4-Infinite, the Master Chief overtime become. gradually becomes more willing to show some emotion."

Which is awesome! I love how Master Chief become more John and less soldier.

I didn’t even notice my typos,lol

I mean, the deal is alright… Unfortunately for me the Serious S doesn’t have a disk drive and unfortunately for Gamestop a lot of those games are on or have been on Gamepass/PSNow.

Sgt_Slaughter696d ago

Given the nature of backwards compatibility on new systems, this is a great sale in case you missed out on some gems from last gen.

Mandingo2020696d ago

Most of the games on Xbox are on game pass. The Switch games in this sale are trash c'mon farming simulator that's laughable. The PS4 games should be cheaper. I can't wait for the GameStop going out of business liquidation sale.

neutralgamer1992696d ago

Seriously man I don't get the hate on GS and I guess you want even less options and give more control to the publishers

And you want thousands of people to lose their jobs because you don't like a company. One thing I have noticed is how most who hate on GS haven't shopped at the actual stores in years. Many who hate on GS have also done so listening to others negative stories or experiences. People on YT want clicks and hating on GS is the cool thing

SurgicalMenace695d ago

It's not people's hate that would lose people's jobs, it's the shady business practices of the company. So what you're saying is that because people work there individuals should just support what they don't want to? Sound advice; Hitler too had supporters, employees, and advocates but people go around hating him too. They only hate because of other people's bad stories or experiences; they only spoke bad about him because they wanted attention. It's been decades; lets give his way another go. With your logic anything could be made to sound good.🤷🏾‍♂️

neutralgamer1992695d ago

SurgicalMenace

Seriously you used Hitler as an example to say company has shady practices

You don't have to shop at GS there are many other retailers. I shop there and vast majority of my experiences have been positive and most of the employees are super nice

SurgicalMenace695d ago

Just having some fun, bro.🤣🤣

Mandingo2020695d ago

There are other places to work besides GS. Plus, their benefits are trash so why not work somewhere else?

REDGUM696d ago

And none of those game you speak of you actually own as they are digital not physical & would cost more than $20 as the subscription costs more than that.

Mandingo2020695d ago (Edited 695d ago )

You know you can get game pass ultimate codes for the low on cdkeys or g2a right? You don't need to have a subscription 😂. GS is trash and I'd rather support the mom and pop game store here instead.

BlackTar187695d ago

Why are you people so full of hate? GameStop gives people jobs and provides a physical appearance to see things in the flesh and not just some soulless online experience.

Mandingo2020695d ago

You can get physical at mom and pop game stores plus you can get it online. GS is trash

neutralgamer1992695d ago

Because Mom and Pop shops cost two to three times more for the same product Angie the answer

BlackTar187695d ago (Edited 695d ago )

Mom and pop stores cost more and have even harder time competing against the internet. Also lie to me and tell you have a couple mom and pop stores near you selling games then lie and tell me you shop there.

IanTH696d ago

These sales, while potentially great, really struggle to be valuable given you can't easily parse what games are in stock. You can't just say "only show what is online & what are in my nearby stores". Probably 60-75% of these games in these massive lists are out of stock for shipping, and out of stock locally. It makes it a chore to find anything you'd want, much less 4 of them, much less enough if you wanted to get to a free shipping tier. It's a bummer.

Halo CE over Halo Infinite anyday

Not to mention the impact it had at the time

Flawlessmic766d ago

Halo 3 at the top is correct the only thing id change is swap infinite and halo ce around.

AuraAbjure766d ago

Halo 4 best campaign and multiplayer. Halo 3 best story.

ChubbyBlade765d ago

Are you trying to give people cancer?

AuraAbjure764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

Halo 4 has the hottest Cortana too which explains why the MC is the hardest in that campaign and why H4's multiplayer is the illest. Chief ain't afraid to take on teleporting enemies that can one hit melee kill.
