I'm going to guess they're interested in making something called Halo Infinity.

Microsoft has made some interesting domain name registrations this week, picking up several “Halo Infinity” domains like HaloInfinity.net (Whois) and HaloInfinityMultiplayer.com (Whois) through the internet brand protection company MarkMonitor.

Microsoft didn’t stop there either.

Additional domain names that were registered include: HaloInfinity.org, HaloInfinity.co.uk, HaloInfinity.mobi, HaloInfinity.de, HaloInfinityMultiplayer.net, HaloInfinityMultiplayer.org, HaloInfinityMultiplayer.co.uk, HaloInfinityMultiplayer.mobi and HaloInfinityMultiplayer.de.

Infinity was a popular multiplayer level exclusive only to the PC for Halo: Combat Evolved, so it’s possible Microsoft will be offering it as a multiplayer map for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.

Other domains that were registered the same week through MarkMonitor include SpartanOps.org (Whois), SpartanOps.net, and MorethanJustamap.com (Whois). These too, were privately registered.

An infinity of Halo sequels

 

[V_Ben]

... more than just a map? Hmm, what if they're doing Forge again, but releasing it as standalone before 4 launches.

 

[Zomba13]

Halo Infinity - Multiplayer only Halo game (XBLA) with one map (Infinity) and forge stuffs to make as many maps as you want.


I dunno. Just a guess going off of what very little we have.

 

[Gravijah]

but what will they call the next halo

 

[LiK]

iOS

 

[scy]

By my estimates, that's still about an infinity less than infinity.

 

[Exterminieren]

Halo 4 renamed to Halo Infinity.

Halo 5 renamed to Halo Infinity Plus One.

 

[Yen]

but what will they call the next halo

Halo Infinity+1

Milked franchises get stale

fake edit: or in the case of Final Fantasy, acquire T-Virus level mutations into hideous abominations

 

[Satchel]

Found this funny given I guessed the next Xbox might be called Xbox infinity.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Marathon naming convention?

 

[captscience]

Halo Infinity + 1

edit: beaten horribly

 

[maquiladora]

Gotta milk dat halo to infinity.

 

[Subitai]

[Elginer]

First post nails it. I think they'll be happy if they can take the COD route.

And there we are.

Halo ∞

it make sense

lol, yeah can't be a coincidence. BUT the main series will still be numbered.

This might be an extension of services or some cool new project, sorta like how Halo Waypoint is neither a game or movie, yet is an essential piece of service for Halo fans.

Milked franchises get stale

Says the COD fan...

Microsoft is famous for buying domain names they’ll never use.

But 11 of them at once?

I feel that makes this a bit mor suspect.

 

[AdmiralSnackbar]

Don't companies do this all the time though? Like doesn't Blizzard own Warcraft4.com and worldofstarcraft.com? Just buy up domains of things that you aren't making but there is a possibility of happening.

They probably also own
Halo: Revelations
Halo: Reloaded
Halo: Chronicles
Halo: Unleashed
ect.

(But I really like the idea of it dealing with the "l∞p")

 

[Eusis]

Halo 4
Halo 5: Cortana
Halo Infinity

Would this be the course we're following?

 

[Slappers Only]

Halo Infinity
Halo Negative Infinity

Everything else is just tweenquels.

 

[ManBearPanda]

Yeah, given what we've heard about 343i's desire to weave more story into their multiplayer, the fact that we'll be playing as Spartan 4's in MP, along with the fact that (Grasslands Spoilers):

Spoiler

We've got Spartan 4's on the Infinity

, I'd wager that Halo Infinity is their take on a COD Elite-style service, or taking Reach's current stat-tracking and blowing it up even further.

I sure hope there’s more to the story than just “protect our property”.

That.... sounds plausible. A subscription service for DLC, with crazy stat tracking? Sounds likely to me.

 

[twobear]

new name for forge?

Halo endless puzzler ala Tetris.

Halo titles to stretch seven times in infinity?

[GarthVaderUK]

New Halo game for the Xbox Infinity.

 

[Rising_Hei]

Oh Halo, i didn't like you, but i know that you had some good points.

 

[wwm0nkey]

New Halo game for the Xbox Infinity.

I still REALLY hope that the new Xbox is called the Xbox Infinity.

Mind blown. Winner right here.

 

[NZNova]

Man, Marathon Infinity was just great.

 

[Cipherr]

LOL! I freaking screamed when I saw the thread title.

An infinity of Halo sequels

Exactly what I was thinking lol. Its probably not that, and nothing related, just a funny thought that popped into my head when I read the title.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

Probably part of the Halo 4 marketing campaign, I imagine they may have something interactive or viral in the works. Unless, of course, they pan to ditch the slow and glitchy halo.xbox.com and move to HaloInfinity? I doubt that, but a man can dream..

Yup.
