It depends if it's any good or not.

No, but I did buy Call of Duty 5 even though it wasn't made by Infinity Ward.

Halo is as generic as any other space marines shooter out there. it just happens to have a huge following.

i doubt i would play it at all.

Neither IMO.  Bungie is a talented group of people and I would like to see them do something that isn't halo related. (Doesn't look like that's gonna happen anytime soon though.)

I'm pretty sure I would buy it depending if it looks good or not, not just by developer name. Except if it's a developer I know can't make good games, or just naturally dislike their approach. Lastly, how can there be a Halo 4? Aren't all the Halos nullified and the Covenant and Humans at peace?

Prolly not, Bungie is one of my favorite developers.

Probably, because to me, Halo 3 just felt wrong...so a fresh developer might liven the series back up for me.

" It depends if it's any good or not. "

i would buy it if Infinity Ward made it.

"i would buy it if Infinity Ward made it."

I will be reluctant to buy a Halo game NOT made by Bungie. Bungie is a kick ass developer, one of the few console developers that gets involved with their community and their own games. They listen to the fans and always are on the ball when a new glitch or exploit pops up in a game, and fixes it. So unless the team that makes a Halo 4 is composed of  X-Bungie members and tries to do what Bungie does with its community, I will be relucant to buy it.

So, would I buy Halo 4 if it was made by a developer NOT Bungie? Well, it all depends on if it is good or not. This far down the line, I don't know if any developer that is NOT Bungie can properly execute the Halo style, but Halo 3 was a bit stale so a new developer may be needed for innovation.

GRIN should make halo4...

Yes but there isn't going to be a Halo 4 as it's a trilogy.

Halo is not generic, I fail to see other space marine shooter in which the aliens were Religiously motivated to almost destroy every form of life in space to have salvation, and then only to find out that it is lies, and rebel against the religious leaders. One of the morals learned from Halo's story is that Religion is a dangerous weapon. "

I wouldn't buy it if it was made by Bungie

I was reading that MS are building their own internal Halo group and are in the process of hiring people. I think Halo 4 will not be made by Bungie but they will have some sort  of input. If they treat the source material with respect I feel they might come up with a good story for Halo 4.  MS are well known for being pushy with third party developers so I they probebly get even more pushier with development studios they own. Will halo 4 be made?, YES. Will Bungie make it?, Probably not.  I have a feeling that MS wants to turn Halo into their own CoD, by which I mean they will have some sort of  a halo game every year or two. What I can tell for sure is tht we are going to be saturated with Halo for the next 3 years. My prediction is that Halo 4 will be out by the end of 2011 or the beginning of 2012,

" It depends if it's any good or not. "

Halo to me is synonymous with Bungie.  Therefore I would not buy a Halo game if it was not made by Bungie.

Kind of a stupid poll. I would certainly *consider* buying it, but only if I knew anything about it. Specifically, how good of a game it was. It wouldn't be a certain buy, as no game is, with me. I didn't buy Halo 2 blindly, nor Halo 3.

I would hope its not made by Bungie; If i play one more halo campaign where half the levels involve me backtracking through terrain and buildings I've already been through, I'll puke. The series needs a fresh studio to put a new take on the series.

I want to feel as powerful as a Spartan in that series should. I want realistic gravity when I jump (no floating like im on the damn moon), speaking of which if I'm a super soldier I should be able to jump higher (even if the suit weighs a ton). Close combat should involve more than just a butt to the head with my gun. I wanna unload a clip of ammo at my enemy, then throw the empty gun at a brute so hard it gives him a concussion!

Despite what I just said I'm a moderate halo fan, bought 2 and 3 on day 1 of release and enjoyed them greatly; but I want something newer and better.

This is a fucking stupid question. Who cares?

Did you like Halo 1/2/3?

If so, chances are you'd like Halo 4.

HAlo reach IS halo 4... only it goes backwards in the storyline. Which is a good thiing. Anyway, halo is only halo as we know it because bungie made it.

" @Plasma: I stating that the game is barely different than the other space marine/alien games. Just adding some religious aspect to it doesn't exactly make it different than the 100s of other ones. It's more of a cop out. And yes, I have played this game as well as 100 of others that share the niche. You have to think about it, if Halo wasn't one of the launch titles for the original Xbox who it actually have sold as much as it did? "

Neither. Even if Halo 4 isn't great and isn't made by Bungie, I'm sure it will be better than 2 and 3.

Well, since The third game coming out of Bungie (yes, its been known that  Bungie is working on a third game) is not Halo-related, Halo 4 definitly won't be made by Bungie. Hence, I probably won'y buy it... But if it seems good...we'll see.

I would only buy it if it was made by Data Design Interactive, or even Phoenix Games.

I wouldn't buy it even if it was made by Bungie.

I'd buy any game made by anybody as long as it's good.
 
It's kind of a dumb question, why would I not buy a good Halo game just because Bungie didn't make it?  I better question would be, "would you buy a crappy Halo game if Bungie made it?"  My answer would be no, because I'm not going to play a crappy game.

I'd probably care a hell of a lot more if there was a non-Bungie Halo game made. Not that I'd be hyped about it, I care so little about it as it stands that any little bit of interest is a vast improvement.

After ODST i would hope for new developer.

Needs to be a "Maybe if it's good, no matter which developer makes it" option in the poll. 

No Halo 3 wrapped up everything neatly. A Halo 4 would make absolutely no sense. They only way for a new Halo to work without being a prequel like Reach would be to make it like Unreal Tournament and make it completely multiplayer focused.

No but then i'm tired of Halo so i  wouldn't buy it if it was made by   Bungie.

This is more a question for people that are already fans of the franchise. I've never liked Halo, and unless it was a major departure from the other games, I don't think it would matter who made Halo 4 for me. In that case, I think there would be a better chance of me buying Halo if it was made by someone else. That said, they would probably be forced to follow the same formula, so, either way, I don't think Halo will be the game for me. However, there will be millions of people that who will disagree with me at the inevitable Halo 4 launch day--regardless of the eventual developer.
 
That's a long way to say, it doesn't matter what I think...

I love me some Halo but it would deffinetly be decided by reviews.
