Halo 4 lands on shelves Nov. 6

Master Chief's return is set.

November 6.

Yes, that's Halo 4's release date, according to Halo Waypoint. But it's not just some arbitrary date.

"That was the day the Master Chief found a weapon, a parched Grunt stumbled upon the starship, and Staff Sergeant Avery Junior Johnson discovered the answer to one of life’s most perplexing questions," wrote Waypoint's Bs Angel.

I wouldn't be an HonestGamer if I told you I knew what that is exactly referencing, but the important thing here is we have a release date for Halo 4. Players will finally step back into the shoes of Master Chief as the story picks up where Halo 3 left off: with our protagonist careening toward a Forerunner planet while taking a little cryogenic nap.

I'm assuming he wakes up in time for Halo 4's crash landing on shelves this November.

	zippdementia posted April 18, 2012: Another game I won't play! I have nothing against the Halo series, but aside from a brief sojour into Halo 2's co-operative mode, I've never played a Halo game. I owned an Xbox, but I never wanted to pay to set it up with Xbox live.
	goatx3 posted April 18, 2012: i can say the same (about probably not playing this game), and it's so weird. i didn't play reach either. TIMES HAVE CHANGED.
	bbbmoney posted April 18, 2012: played all the halos and while i'm not infatuated with them (being as PC FPS has done so much more before it), they are legitimately fun multiplayer experiences. what i'll never understand is the credit towards the games' narratives. it's like the Twilight of the gaming industry.
	Sparkflowstudios posted April 18, 2012: "Happy Nov 6th, Spark! It's your Birthday!" Why thank you! What'd you get-HALO 4??!! BUT I HATE PLAYING HALO! FLIPS TABLE
	Suskie posted April 18, 2012: it's like the Twilight of the gaming industry. How so?
	goatx3 posted April 20, 2012: somebody needs to donate me a 360 so i can play this.
	zippdementia posted April 20, 2012: I believe Hold means that the Halo story is much too weak to be as celebrated as it is. I can't actually comment on that, myself, as I have never played through a full Halo game nor am I invested with the fan base. I'm just interpreting the meaning and am not looking to get involved in a flame war if it's about to occur.* * my lawyer helped me with the wording of that paragraph
	goatx3 posted April 20, 2012: there are modern game franchises with far worse stories/universes than HALO.
	joseph_valencia posted April 20, 2012: The writing in Halo is like the writing in James Cameron movies: it ain't Shakespeare, but it suits its genre. Twilight doesn't work on either of those levels.
