I got real confused over the timeline between Reach and ODST. When I heard 343i were using heavily modified engine of Reach, I thought, “Did they start when Reach was ready to ship?” I clearly have no idea when 343i started working on Halo 4.
So does anyone know?
They started more or less at the same time Reach was released I think.
First off, Reach ran on a heavily modified Halo 3 engine.
They’ve been working on it for 3+ years.
Since early 2009… which is already a long time ago. Cant wait to see the fruits of it on monday.

Early to Mid. At Halofest, it was stated that Halo 4 had been in the works for about 2 years.
That’s Bungie’s work, not 343i. Sorry.
I was kind of figuring it Halo 4 to be made in progress for about 3 years, but it would be 2 years? Since Halo Reach came out in 2010 and been worked on since 2007-2008. It seems unusual to me if Halo 4 is made in 2 years because Halo games are made for about 3 years. Halo Reach came out 2010 then 343i works on the Halo 4 from late 2010-2012 fall. I don’t know if they started a little later.
So, I’m little concerned that if 343i makes it in little time that may affect the quality. Good games don’t come out fast is what I’m saying.

Nice post, troll.

THANK YOU, around the same time ODST came out,
FUN FACT. Bungie chose to do Reach over Halo 4

No they didn’t. 343 didn’t technically exist until after Bungie left Microsoft. Until mid 2008, it was still just a small team of people working on furthering the franchise and supporting Halo Wars. Around this time, they started putting out calls for industry vets to start work on a new Halo project. In mid 2009, Halo 4 entered pre-production.

343 Industries exists since October 2007. And Halo4 development started at the end of 2008 (concepts,story). In 2009, they started to get more and more people and started the development of halo4.

According to what they said at Halofest, development didn’t start until mid-2009.
