Hmm, is this is to be believed, could it be Halo Wars 2? An MMO? An off shoot? Spartan Thorne maybe? The latter would be a good way to set him up as the new hero once the torch is passed from Master Chief (which will be a VERY sad day…).<\/p>\n

Hmm, let’s explore the possibilities:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Halo 2 Anniversary<\/strong><\/span> – As a follow up to Halo CE Anniversary. But really, would this be considered AAA if it’s just a remastered version of the game?
\n\u2022 Halo Wars 2<\/strong><\/span> – Certainly a game that many Halo fans want. This would be a nice way to branch out from the FPS series and give us another RTS game.
\n\u2022 Halo: Thorne<\/strong><\/span> – Just thinking outside of the box here. I just have the feeling that Spartan Gabriel Thorne is who 343 wants to take over after Master Chief passes the torch. By creating a spin-off this early, they can test the waters to see if people are receptive to him being the new main hero down the line. It’s certainly a game I’d buy. Seeing as we have just been introduced to Thorne and he’s a rookie Spartan, what better way to “grow up” with him? Though this might seem a bit early, the point is, by bringing him in this early, 343 has plenty of room to develop the character, add more BA stuff to his armor\/abilities and evolve him as a character and Spartan. If the early spin-off doesn’t work or is met with bad press\/sales, then they won’t have to risk a trilogy on him after Halo 4\/5\/6.
\n\u2022 Halo: MMORPG<\/strong><\/span> – Okay, I play plenty of Halo. But man, THIS would just completely kill any time I have. I’d be so absorbed into this game, my Halo blog would likely suffer. Hmm, 343 might do well on something like this…
\n\u2022 Mega Bloks Halo<\/strong><\/span> – As competition to all of those LEGO games, Mega Bloks might get a Halo title finally. They’ve had successful contests with their Halo products for stop motion animation. Their products are fantastic and FUN. Personally, I’d LOVE to see this happen. LEGO needs more competition and this would give it to them.
\n\u2022 Halo: ONI<\/strong> <\/span>– Hmm, a Splinter Cell like game using ONI operatives instead of Spartans or ODSTs. This would be interesting.
\n\u2022 Halo: Insurrection<\/strong><\/span> – This is one I’ve mentioned on the net before. A prequel. It’s set during Master Chief’s time before the Covenant War. We would play as either Chief or other Spartan IIs of the time against human Insurrectionists. More Halsey!<\/p>\n

Whatever it is, I’m excited to hear ANYTHING about it.<\/p>\n

Any other ideas?<\/p>\n
