343 Industries: Master Chief will return in future Halo games

halo3a

He may have finished the fight, but Chief’s not done. Far from it.

Heavy spoiler warning after the jump regarding the ending of Halo 3.

343 Industries boss Frankie O’Connor told a panel at Comic-Con last night that it would be a bit of a tit if it didn’t finish off Master Chief’s story following the conclusion of Halo 3.

“We’d have to be the world’s biggest assholes not to follow through,” said O’Connor.

“We certainly haven’t seen the last of Master Chief.”

Time to stick your fingers in your ears and close your eyes if you don’t want the end of Halo 3 spoiled.

At the end of Halo 3, Master Chief and Cortana are stuck on one half of a ship which has split in two, before Chief gets sent into cryosleep.

In the Legendary ending for Halo 3, a mysterious planet is seen in the horizon. O’Connor confirmed at the event that it was indeed a planet, not a spaceship.

Last week, it was spotted that 343 had kicked off work on a new project, which was built specifically for the Halo IP following original developer Bungie’s wishes to move away from the series.

Thanks, IGN and Gamerzines.

@39 So basically Halo in normal difficulty sucks ass and in Legendary opens the door to the another dimension? A fucking opera starts? Dialogs are different… Another game?

Well if you think about it on legendary you will die much much quicker so you have to adapt your game to stay alive.
Same in any game really.
Hence the experience becomes quite different as you have to use what you have more effectively.

On the easier modes of any game you will probably get through it using the same gun if you’re experienced enough.
Devs have to think of the guy just jumping in as well as the so called hardcore.

I have played a few games on the highest setting and I reckon this is the setting which shows the full potential of it.
So yes it is a different game on the higher setting.
Try taking that scarab down on legendary and you will know what I mean.
Controller nearly got put through telly a few times.
But when you get through certain stages it is a nice buzz to feel you achieved what the dev threw at you.

@51 so true! it’s like those people who play dead space on easy and then moan that it wasn’t hard/scary enough! go hardest or GTFO

I’m a huge halo fan, and i thought that Halo 3 ended perfectly, now after everything MC can finally find some peace…
Also there are much better stories to tell, like what happens when the elites get back to their homeworld? or what ever happened to gray team?
