How long has halo 4 been in development?

Hey i dont know if anyone else marvels at the fact that halo 4 was so well hidden. and I for one want to know how long this secret was kept. I have a good idea of how long to. listen up because this is some interesting stuff!

 

Okey so in 2010 Bungie released a comment saying reach started production back in 2006 after halo 3 was in its production phases.(article i found at joystick) this was said because they were asked when they started and what made them want to do this. the full statment was that they originally wanted to start with halo 4(the game JUST announced now hint hint yall) but then whe they worked the deal with MS game studio and found they would be out of a "job" in 2010 they made a different project(mainly because MS owned 51 percent and they ORDERED bungie to change) this project was reach. but they had started the blue prints to halo 4 and then a few months later frank quit bungie. this was the first bungie member to leave. it was unknown were he was or why he left. this was made clear in 2008 when he reapeared. 343i went public and it was known that they existed for a year prior to halo waypoint being out.

 

It is now rumored by very reliable sources(especially joystick) that bungie MS took what bungie had done so far with halo 4 and 343 got to work. this makes plenty sense if you ask me. it is known now that 343 had many aplications sent in under the radar from bungie employees and other halo involved people from halos past. many jobs included graphic design and campagin missions. they also had the lead MP design aplications there as well.

 

with all these facts and all these rumors...it seems to me our favorite games new release when it is released will have been being made for a grand total of SIX YEARS! this is more than even the first halo(halo combat evolved was first thought of in 1997 when marathon was offically done for bungie and frank wanted to continue) I do belive that halo 4 will hands down be the greatest halo yet and i can not WAIT to see what 343 has to offer to us!

 

Please note not all of this is 100% fact there are some rumor(but again there reliable people) but i would love to hear from the fellow hardcore halo fans!!! ALSO I WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR I HAVE PLAYED HALO SINCE LITERALLY DAY ONE AND IM NOT A *** WHO CARES ABOT HOW LONG I JUST HAVE ALWAYS ADMIRED THEM FOR THE CARE THEY PUT INTO HALO!! lol so yeah im not worried bout nothing just pointing it out for future readers!

Pretty sure right when Reach started, Bubgie made Reach and while 343i was waiting for the rights for halo, they were probably models and sounds even though that wasnt technically legal. I wouldnt put it past microsoft

well technically... it is, like i said MS owned 51 percent at the time, and like you have stated 343 IS MS were bungie was not, AKA bungie had no say so if MS anted to give the project to the secret newly formed 343i. not to mention who knows how long MS has truly had ALL the rights to halo lol!

Halo 4 has been in peoduction for 2 years.

just because when it comes out its a 2 year difference does not mean anything, it is literal proven fact that halo 4 was started in 2006, its just the case of when 343 picked up the job that is not fact. so no, its garenteed to be WAY more than 2 years

If H4 was first put into motion in 2006, then come release date that's 6 years, sounds a bit excessive, but what do I know..

hell look at starcraft, there are much longer releases than halo 4, and since there were three halo games inbetween while halo 4 was being made, what does it matter? lol means it will be better!

id say for about awhile now, i mean 343 worked right under bungie in almost everything, i wouldnt be suprised if they were working on reach and h4 at the same time.

deffenantly, seriously i mean the proof is all there and points right at that conclusion!

Well, Frank said in the videos posted on this site they have been working on it for 2 years.

well no offense, but frank is full of it, or it was a missleading video, he may have ment 2 years of him working on it, but it is proven stated fact that halo 4 started in 2006, now when it got picked 100% by 343 is unknown, but the meer fact that they were a secret for a year makes me think, without a dought that halo 4 has been in the works for a long time. but we will find out for sure next year probly

3 years of developing in total is enough for a game. Look at Halo 3, it had also three years of developing and it was in my opinion a great game. Six years for one game is a bit long I think but maybe Frank means 2 years of very intensive work on the game and the other years for the story, ideas etc.

oh i do not disagree with you, your right. although they did anounce that halo 3 started as an idea in mid 2003, but yes 3 intesive work was the basic for all the halo games but halo ce, and possibly for halo 4. but honestly, i want all 6 years, if halo 3 is this great with just 3, imagine 6? lol much better! not to mention what if there already done with halo 4(besides producing it) and now they are on halo 5? or maby it started last year when we got reach? i mean its possible with everything we now know
