They have several internal studios working on new IP.

Personally while I'd love to play a H4 beta, I think Beta's take away a lot of the anticipation of playing a hot new title, so I'd rather there isn't one.
And nothing trades on anticipating "whats coming next" more than videogames. It is a hobby obsessed with what's around the corner.

Get as much 360 stuff out of the way so we can have more of the Microsoft E3 press conference dedicated to the new console. ;-P
And as for the campaign, if the covenant or flood show up as enemies then 343i has already lost.
A beta can only mean a better final product. There is no reason to believe 343i would "get it right" at launch.

That doesn't mean anything bro, Kiki is just a boss like always. It is it's own megaton when she leaves just to go somewhere.
Asked the same question, and answer was "every relevant 2012 360 title". But actually I guess it meant "relevant exclusives", since at least one big title multiplat it's going to be shown in a separate event in the same days, and each one of the few titles I know of is exclusive.

So here in Australia it's time 11:00 PM i can assume that when i finish work tomorrow ill have some exciting news to wake up to? 
I hate it, but I feel the same way, aside from Halo 4 I don't think Xbox is gonna have much exclusive. This is kinda what makes me feel like they will talk about next-gen at E3 this year, their last 2 or so E3's have been really rough and if all they have to talk about this year is an already announced game in Halo, it'll continue an ugly trend.

Thankfully I have a busy day today, there's no way I'd get through waiting for something to leak without distractions.

Allow the various media outlets to compile all the info in an orderly fashion and distribute it.

probably some kind of exclusive preview given to a printed magazine or something related to GDC

Owh, I hate embargos for events like this - doesn't really seem to be much point.
I'm not expecting (read:hoping for) anything massive for that reason too, unless this stuff tends to end up leaked.
Need that news!

I would be surprised if we heard anything about another Forza because all the talk has been that the next Forza will be next-gen.
maybe gameinformer?
Because magazines buy stories because games journalism is dead
There's the long rumored Forza World and it could also not necessarly be a new Forza.
Hints we got point to something new for Forza, what does that exactly mean remains to be seen after the embargo expires though.
That's true, we only have heard one thing about an embargo.

More hints from another thread
Based on the timing the "Killer Sequel" will probably be at the show.

Well, Halo 3's introduced me to the greatness that is Crackdown so I may be okay with this.
Then again, I don't really believe in a Halo 4 beta at this point...
Generally speaking betas are a good way to drum up hype, but it's quite possible they'll be thinking that with Halo 4 the hunger to play it will be so great that a beta will only serve to quell the appetite of fans.
You'd think if they were going to do a beta the smart place to have stuck a pass would have been in the box with Halo Anniversary.

Yeah, that's what I had been expecting prior to Anniversary's launch... I don't know, I guess it's still entirely possible and would fit within their schedule, but for some reason I simply don't expect one anymore.
Didn't we hear about 3's and Reach's respective betas much earlier in their development cycles?
Exactly what I thought.
Yeah absolutely, Halo 3's was in Crackdown, but we knew it was going to be in there the previous year around September time. Obviously Reach's was in ODST which launched a full year ahead of Reach and we'd known the beta would be included in ODST at E3 2009, I think?
So whatever's going on with it, it doesn't fit into their previous releases.

Did I miss them?
Glad to see we are keeping our expectations in check.
No way. it'll launch on 360 this fall.
And then an upgraded version will launch alongside the nextbox spring 2013
OR it'll be the first "forwards compatible" game, that scales to the console it's put into

Nope.
I was joking. We're not going to be hearing anything for some time. Unless the French take their nationality seriously.
I can't answer this right now.

If that was the case, then MS would not have announced it last year. It's a 360 product.
