Halo 4?!?!?!

Microsoft have announced there will be another game in the Halo franchise, Halo 4. After saying that they weren't gonna continue the story of master chief, bungie have sold the rights for the game to Microsoft, who have created an internal division to oversee the Halo franchise. They called this division 343 Industries and, would you believe it, it has a lot of ex bungie halo staff...

The trailer looks promising, showing the chief waking from cryo stasis aboard the frigate Forward Unto Dawn, the front half of which crashed onto earth with the Arbiter within it. The chief awakes and initiates boss mode, flying through the remains of the ship and grabbing a Magnum pistol. The camera view pans out, to show him standing at the front of the broken ship, looking towards a massive covenant ship, it's docking port wide open waiting for the Dawn.

Early indications from this trailer make the game very promising, if said trailer is showcasing some of the available abilities and gameplay.
