For those of you out there who are wondering if the upcoming Halo: Reach is merely Halo 4 then Joseph Tung, executive producer over at Bungie and creative director Marcus Lehto are here to clarify a few things for y’all.

Up first is Joseph Tung;

“It’s not a continuation of the Master Chief story, nor is it the start of a new trilogy. For us, it’s a completely standalone game,”

Up next is Marcus Lehto;

“We desired to make a standalone title, something that is the culmination of a decade of our efforts building Halo titles. Basically it’s not a continuation, but it’s not a quasi-expansion like ODST”.

And now campaign lead Chris Opdahl wants a bit of your attention…

“We are definitely bending the Xbox as far as it’ll bend,”

Um, okay…

Finally, Tung has one last thing to say…

“Without giving anything away, there’s certainly some cool stuff we’re doing in Reach that will encourage people to replay the campaign. There are going to be some big surprises in the campaign,”
