According to the article at game informer, a company by the name of “MarkMonitor” (a company that helps protect brand identity) has registered several Halo domain names. These are:
• Halo-SpartanAssault.com
• Halo-SpartanAssault.net
• HaloSpartanAssault.com
• HaloSpartanAssault.net
• SpartanAssault.net
It’s also noted in the article that “Halo: Spartan Assault” is the name of a piece of fan fiction written in 2009.
Will we hear/see news of this from E3 this year? I sure hope so. XBOX ONE needs to have a Halo title at launch, not including the TV show.
Okay, so with this in mind, if this is a title of a new game, what kind of game and who will be the featured character(s) in it?
343 has been fairly direct in stating that they are not producing either Halo 2 Anniversary, nor Halo Wars 2. I doubt either would adopt this title for them anyway. So, this could possibly be a spin-off title. It could have Majestic Squad in it from Halo 4’s Spartan Ops or Crimson or maybe a Sarah Palmer spin-off.
In any event, give me more Halo PLEASE!
I agree that it is almost a necessity for an announcement of an upcoming Halo title to coincide with the release of the XBox One. I just find it hard to fathom that Microsoft would release a new console without having some type of Halo title to go with it as it is THE game title most closely associated with the XBox. If there is no upcoming Halo title announcement I will be disappointed
I will be watching E3 and hope that we see some news on a Halo game. Heck, just announcing Spartan Ops Season 2 would be something.
Spartan Assault? Bleh, alright I guess, I’d much rather prefer another ODST styled game, but I still would like to see some more Halo.
