New Developer for Halo 4

[LIGHTSOUT225]

Gearbox, developer of the Brother In Arms series, has been officially named the Halo 4 developer. That's right, no more Bungie (in terms of Halo) after Halo 3: Recon. It was a tiny corner article in the November Game Informer magazine.

A bit of info for you, and a bit more than just a 'tiny corner article'.

I suppose it's going to be a while before Gearbox announces anything. Recon's still a year away and Chronicles still needs an update.
And the next Xbox? Awesome! Perhaps a quieter, smaller version of the 360!

Super sad face. Bungie shall be missed immensely, but at the same time I'm excited (way too early...) for Halo 4.

I thought this was already announced lol? I had actually read this in GI a bit ago too and was like man, why did they print this? Maybe there were just a lot of solid rumors. As long as its not like BIA I'm fine with it.

I believe Gearbox will do a good job though. They're the company that ported the first Halo to PC, and some of the multiplayer maps that they made for it were some of the best in the series; Death Island, Danger Canyon, Ice Fields.

Yeah I loved all those new maps except infinity and you forgot gephyrobia and timberland was good. But I would love to see Danger Canyon and Ice Fields on Halo 3.

WTF Halo 4? U jest sir. And no bungie? But they hold some of the rights. Maybe they are getting money for it?

And GD ur jewish 2?? OMGZORZ mazel tov. Lol you must be like 12 then.
And last time I checked recon was next fall. Maybe that's when mythic will come out.

Halo Wars comes out in February...not Halo 3 Recon.

Recon is scheduled to come out in fall 2009.

I think its safe to say that Gearbox will do a good job making Halo 4, and I'm certain Bungie will be overlooking the franchise just like they did with Halo Wars. Maybe we'll see some great new maps from them too. Like others have said, some of the greatest big team maps came from the PC verison.
