"We are almost done with Halo 4. We are so close we can taste it. Many of us have sacrificed time with our families, time with our significant others and time with our friends to deliver on a promise we made to you. When we said we would take care of the Halo franchise, we knew we had big shoes to fill. Bungie created a legacy, something so powerful and so special, that it ultimately drove each and every one of us to work here. We knew making this game wouldn’t be easy, and it hasn’t been. However, if you enjoy the end result, everything will be worth it.
That is what we’re thinking about right now. The blood, sweat, and tears we’ve poured into this project, and what you, the very person we’ve made it for, will think of it. "- Jessica Bs angel
I just wanted to take a moment post a genuine sincere thank you to 343, for making this happen. No I might not find everything to my liking with this new Halo game. I might not always agree with some changes. But if they can sacrifice many things to give us another beloved game, the least I can do is be appreciative and accepting to explore this new world and experience they worked so hard to create, for us.
Obviously I know it’s their job and duty to give us their best. But just because it’s their job doesn’t mean you can’t feel appreciative or be thankful towards them D;
> Anyone else not touched at all? It’s called a job people. I’m going to guess some of you might not know what that is.
Well hmmm lets see game Dev’s in crucnh time sometimes don’t go home for days this isn’t an office job to make Halo 3 alot of the Bungie guys pulled 20 hour days and slept at their desks game desgin isn’t a traditional job! PLUS 343 never even had to have been made they could have worked else where but they loved Halo and chose to carry it on! Englighted?
343 really cares for the community. They are making this the best game possible, no matter what. I think the game looks magnificent and will be magnificent. I know it will be magnificent.
I’m going to the NYC Comic Con so hopefully I’ll have some footage for you guys of this “fresh” content bs angel was talking about in the bulletin. JUST A FEW MOAR DAYSSSSSS XD
I hope this game sees a lot of success, not because I’m a Halo fan, but because of the amount of effort you guys have put into it. I may not like everything about Halo 4, but that’s also true about every game before it. You hold the Mantle now, and you have my best wishes.
You guys are doing great. Everybody may make their share of mistakes, but the fact that so many different people were able to come together because they love Halo and create something like this is amazing. And I and many others in this community will do our part to help shape the game after release so that everyone will enjoy playing it.

i agree. Humans almost always learn from their mistakes and improve upon them.

Just must be you then. If they didn’t care, then they would have just taken halo reach, slapped on some updated graphics, and called it Halo 4. But they didn’t. They went above and beyond expectations. Watch some of the vidocs, it will show you how passionate they are about the franchise. I’m looking forward towards this new trilogy of halo, it’s in great hands,
Makes me realize they knew the amount of scrutiny their title would be up against b.c. they’d be following BUNGIE. I think this shows they respect what Halo was, what it did, and want it to be something special. Am I touched by this? Not really, it’s their job. I do respect them for taking it very seriously, though. A regular developer could of just taken what Bungie created and updated the graphics and done a few minor things but 343i made sure to try some new things, even if they aren’t yet appreciated. I do respect that.
Not sure if “touched” is the word I would use. However, I do want to say thanks to 343 and everyone else who helped make this game happen. I am sorry that they have to give up family time as well as some of their free time in order make this game happen. They have big shoes to fill and from the looks of things, fill them they did.
Once again, thank you to everyone involved with this project.
