As we just noted, some of Microsoft's biggest E3 2011 announcements have leaked online, courtest of... erm, Microsoft. They include the long-awaited Halo 4 - complete with the below screenshot.
What are your early thoughts, readers? Does it hint at a direction for the series you were hoping for?

Pretty much confirms the Chief and what looks like Cortana. Could this be the start of another three part storyline?

it's clearly set after scene in halo 3 legendary edition with masterchief and cortana, about to crash land i think on that weird planet, i'm gonna guess the story line has the masterchief traveling back in time to fight the forerunners on that planet which some flood spore on the outside of the cut in half spaceship he was in, their for bringing the flood full circle, so the halo weapons will be built..........
or it could be 30 seconds of action, followed by 5 mins of walking, then 30 seconds, repeat to end game again........

Not sure what to make of it. Even embiggening the screenshot doesn't tell much. Master Chiefs return would be cool though.

Cortana "John, the world needs your help again"
Chief "Bitch i need a holiday and some deodorant, do you realise how long i've been in this can?"
Other than that, bring on the trailer.

'Embiggening'?
Are you sure that's a cromulent word?

We get it dude, you dislike Halo - no need to continue stating it.

Instead of releasing a screenshot that is showing nothing, they might as well release nothing imo!

Dammit! i always want to be the one that gets to say 'cromulent' and I've missed out again!
And what do i think? I think that cvg should've kept their bloody mouths shut as they have ruined what would have been a great surprise by doing their jobs responsibly. Bastards.

Erm, I actually quite like Halo, just not to the point where I'd get excited over some crappy leaked picture.

I'm a bit dissapointed that Halo 4 is counted (by the looks of it) as their big game reveal. I do not care much for Halo, always disliked how MS shoved it in my face wether its on my dashboard or xbox related news.

Poor quality screenshot, but it does look like 343 may have gone down the CG route for cutscenes, as opposed to Bungie's in-game engine method.

I hope it turns out brilliant. However, the name doesn't make the game, the developers do. With new developers on the game it's a bit worrying.
