Halo 4 post launch discussion

I think after Halo 4 is released on November 6, the following day I think some if not all of 343 will be back at work making sure matchmaking and any other in-game services/features are working properly.

Towards the beginning of December I think 343 will be closed, and everyone will be on vacation.

Sometime in January I think everyone will be back at 343, and work on the first map-pack would start, or start to pick up steam <mark>if it is already somewhat underway before 343 goes on vacation.</mark>

I also think development of Halo 5 would also pick up steam, <mark>if it is already somewhat underway before 343 goes on vacation.</mark>

By April 343 might release the first map-pack for Halo 4.

Is the a possible outcome after Halo 4 is released ?

How the hell would we know

Its way to early to discuss Halo 5. Lets take one halo at a time shall we?

so…this is a pre-launch post-launch discussion?

so we are talking in pre terms about something that is post where we have pre-info but assuming post-fact based on unconfirmed pre-opinion taken as post-opinion but without pre-discussion…

…am i getting this right?

> How the hell would we know

The point of this post is to discuss what the post launch of Halo 4 will be like.

> Its way to early to discuss Halo 5. Lets take one halo at a time shall we?

I mentioned Halo 5, because it is a something that 343 might start on after Halo 4 ships. Halo 5’s story has most likely been talked about at least once internally.
