Will There Be A 'Halo 4' (X360) After All ?

by Rainier on Feb. 19, 2007 @ 2:44 p.m. PST | Filed under News

An ebay charity auction is charging $1,000 for a voice over cameo appearance in Bungie's upcoming Halo 3, but also makes mention of Halo 4. "Voice over will be recorded at Blindlight Studios in Hollywood, CA before May 15, 2007 or this package will have to redeemed for Halo 4."
