Fans Piece Together Halo 4's Box Art

Update: Microsoft confirmed to Game Informer the image is of the game's box art.

-------------------------

Today Microsoft emailed 32 slivers of a new Halo 4 image to fans of the series, and it took eager gamers all of an hour to piece together the puzzle. Check out the full image.

Fans in the Halo Waypoint forums united to solve the mystery, which appears to be an image of Master Chief standing underneath one of the alien ships from Independence Day. I'm pretty sure the ship will turn out to be something else and that Halo 4 won't be an epic Halo-Independence Day mash-up, but it should be. Make it happen, 343 Industries. We're sure Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum are available for voiceover work. Here's the image.

Halo 4 will release on Xbox 360 on November 6. For more on the game, head to our Halo 4 hub, which is full of exclusive features.

  • wait is that the cover? and that is so awesome
  • Is this the cover art?

    @CommanderShishKebab oohh you beat me to it
  • I still believe any image where master chief is not green is an abomination
  • That's pretty neat how microsoft did something like this. Hopefully they donttry to to what ghost recon did using coco for advertising.

  • Hello Halo
  • Mod
    I got one of the emails! It was the strip with the 'A' in the title.

    Also, yes, this is the game's box art. Though I imagine the title be higher up so it doesn't get covered by a rating and such. Good stuff, 343.
  • Awsome i got one of the puzzel

  • Fantastic image. Just when I don't think I could possibly be more excited for this game, I'm once again proven wrong.
  • WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT

  • Looks like its going to be the cover art. The RP gives it away. And it looks amazing.

  • It looks pretty cool but something about the image doesn't sit well with me and I can't figure out what.
  • Mod

    ZOMG NEW BACKGROUND!!!

  • Sweet Halo 4 box art if they decide to go with it.

  • *Rubs chin* I believe, through conclusive investigating, that this "image" is in some way connected to Halo 4.
  • IS this the box cover?   IT"S damn Beutifull : D

  • Oh my god oh my god oh my god this is AWESOME. Almost looks like the box art, and I would be very, very pleased with that,

  • If that is the cover of Halo 4, then the game will automatically be awesome.

  • Somebody drew that..
  • I'm pretty sure that's not a ship above him. This is the gateway to requiem (a sort of planet with a huge outer shell) that we saw in the teaser. The chief just crash landed on the planet's surface.

    Also am I the only one pissed off about how they redesigned the "Forward Unto Dawn"? (Left side of image) It looks completely different from Halo 3.
  • that's pretty fricken sweet. I'd take that for box art
