Back in September 2007, just days before Halo 3's phenomenal worldwide launch, we spoke to cinematic designer Lee Wilson, who said that Halo 4 was not in development. Here's the full quote: "There's a lot of people who have been working on Halo much longer than us two have and they're really interested in exploring new games, new stories, and whatever comes out of those conversations is what we're going to pursue. We're still going to make games for us." Well that was then, and now is now. With upwards of eight million sales of Halo 3 under its belt and massively positive review scores, Microsoft would be foolish to kill the franchise off completely in its FPS form. Rest assured a new Halo FPS is coming. So, with that in mind, we've knocked our heads together and come up with our own wish list - Top 10: Things that will make Halo 4 great. The fight has only just begun.

10. Sprint function

Halo is traditionally a fairly slow-paced first-person shooter. We like that about it, but at times we want to get to places quicker. We expect Halo 4 to be even more explosive and action packed, so If we're caught in the middle of a fire-fight and don't have a warthog close by, an ability to sprint for a few seconds would do wonders. We're not entirely sure how it would be mapped to an already well-used Xbox 360 controller, but hopefully some people cleverer than us can work that out.

9. Clan Support

Halo 3's online community is great if you can avoid the loud mouthed screaming kids intent on using every swear word under the sun. The big problem is the lack of clan support built into the game. We don't want to have to use internet forums, email and instant messenger programs to organise games and remind each other that matches are about to start. Why can't the game handle all of this? If you're part of an eight-man clan and you've arranged a match with another clan, you'll get in-game and email reminders, plus all matches will be recorded and stats tracked. Regional and worldwide clan leaderboards would make the competition all the fiercer.
