Halo 4 will be the first new entry in the series from the freshly-formed studio 343 Industries, but that doesn't mean that the team is approaching the game from a blank slate. Each team member was inspired to join the team and work on the game for their own reasons; inspirations for the new game come from anywhere and everywhere. From a love for Halo: Combat Evolved's co-op, the original Star Wars trilogy, or even real-world science (for more on this topic check out this bonus video), watch the video below to learn more about where 343 Industries is finding the inspiration for their work on Halo 4.

Halo is awesome, that is all. Imagine a Halo & Half-Life crossover 0_o

I am ready to get back into Halo. COD and Battlefield just do not fill that void like Halo.

I never liked the Halo games. Halo 2 was good fun, but nothing memorable. Hopefully 343 Industries can turn the series into something I can play.

Anyone else worries multiplayer may get extemely boring extremely quickly of all the maps are based on the same giant ship? Like how many different corridor textures can you have? Ugh I hope it's good enough to get past that.

I'm pretty sure the only inspiration Microsoft needed for Halo 4 was Halo 3.

That was a very tiny baby in that video. I'm guessing they were in charge of the Spartan Ops missions.

Short but good video, Hanson. I want to see Chloe in a bonus video :D

I only want cause it looks different

Let us hope.

I don't like that they are getting inspiration from star wars or anything else for that matter. the halo universe is already so expansive and it already has its own feel, the fact that it's sci-fi doesn't mean it has to take cues from other sci- fi's.

Good to know the series is in such passionate hands! The thing I loved most about Bungie wasn't just the amazing game they made but also how awesome they were to their community and how passionate they were about the game and those who played it. I really feel as if 343-i is going to turn out of heck of an experience for us fans.

Cool video. That short clip of Star Wars made me really want to rewatch the original trilogy again.

Could have a better workspace

I am so glad Halo has lived on! I need an intervention.
by Romars Monday, April 30, 2012 at 04:47 PM

The Inspiration of Halo 4, is the sales of Halo Reach. Come on, we're all thinking it.
by EpicPizzaBaconWaffle Monday, April 30, 2012 at 04:51 PM

Sounds like they are gonna do the Halo series justice.
by debtcollector Monday, April 30, 2012 at 04:53 PM

Chloe is clearly the most important person on the team.
by Gabe Alves Monday, April 30, 2012 at 04:57 PM

343 has some big shoes to fill hope they vill them and maybe even over fill them i guess you could say cause Halo is a big and important series.
by Boyzby Monday, April 30, 2012 at 05:02 PM

I want to play ICO now. More so than Halo 4.
