Halo 4!

    Halo 4 is the long awaited continuation of the Halo series. When Halo 3 ended it  was thought by many that there wouldn't be a Halo 4 and that Halo 3 ended the legacy of Halo's main character Master chief. That being said any and every long time Halo veteran was absolutely ecstatic to find out that their favorite spartan was making an epic return. Ever since Bungie gave up the right of this fantastic series to 343 Industries many fans have been skeptical of this "new" company even though 343 had been partnered with Bungie throughout all of the Halos. Regardless of skepticism  343 has now gained the trust of the Halo community since the halo 4 multi-player Beta was made available for anyone to play at RTX and PAX.

    343 has introduced new enemies into the Halo 4 universe that have fans itching to play. The enemy that has most peoples attention is the forerunners. Forerunners have long been apart of the Halo universe. They have always been portrayed as this highly advanced race that lived eons ago but had disappeared. They were the ones who created the fabled Halo rings for which the series is named. With these new enemies comes new weapons. theses weapons include the light rifle, scatter shot, and 3 more weapons whose names have yet to be released.

     Also coming out soon is CoD Black Ops2 which comes out November 13th. This game has been much anticipated after some information about it was leaked around earlier this year around April. It's the sequel to last years CoD Black Ops which was Treyarch's last addition to the Call of Duty Franchise. Last year people fell in love with Treyarch's rendition of their Nazi Zombies game play mode which was made famous when it first appeared in their previous game CoD World at War. Many are also looking forward to the future based story of the game which is a major jump from the franchise's tradition of focusing on past wars like WWll or Vietnam. As well as conflicts relevant today like Iraq and the possibility of war with the Russians.

      Last but most certainly not least is Halo 4 which comes out on November 6th. Halo 4 starts a new Trilogy that pick up where Halo 3 ended. Since then Bungie who was made famous from the trilogy gave up their rights Halo and gave them to 343 Industries who had partnered with Bungie in the making of all the Halo games. When they gained these rights after the release of Halo Reach 343 announced that they were going to create Halo's 4-6 and create a new trilogy picking up where their predecessors left off. Halo 4 has since then been made playable at conventions such as RTX and PAX and has received nothing but the best reviews from long term veterans of the universe who have played since Halo Combat Evolved Releases 10 years ago.
