Rumors of Next Halo Game

Those who completed Halo 3 at its hardest level saw a movie featuring hero Master Chief in the hypsersleep chamber of a spacecraft orbiting a mysterious planet, giving rise to speculation that the next episode in the series would find him on that planet, fighting for survival.

According to rumors, however, that will not be the case – and the next episode in the Halo game series won’t involve Master Chief at all, according to reports on Gamespot UK.

A source within game developer Bungie told the site that it would be “a cross between Ghost Recon and Gears of War,”a “more bloody, violent and grim” story of war between UNSC forces and an empire called the Covenant. In co-op mode gamers will be able to play as an entire squad through the whole game.

Game developer Midnight Society cut its ties with Guy Beahm, a popular video game content creator who goes by the name Dr Disrespect, following allegations surrounding a 2020 Twitch ban.

In 2020, streaming platform Twitch banned Dr Disrespect shortly after announcing a lucrative new deal with him but didn't comment on why. While Dr Disrespect continued to stream on YouTube over the past four years, on June 21, former Twitch employee Cody Conners claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that Twitch banned Dr Disrespect because he "got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product." Beahm responded, "I didn’t do anything wrong, all this has been probed and settled, nothing illegal, no wrongdoing was found, and I was paid."
