Rumor: Microsoft To Announce Halo 4

There is a rumor that Microsoft will announce Halo 4 at its E3 press conference in a few hours.

According to a screenshot taken from Microsoft's E3 site by website Now Gamer, Microsoft has prepped coverage that reads: "The news millions of Halo fans have waited for: Halo 4 is on the way." The page also made mention of a remastered version of the original Halo: "The epic game that launched a universe, remastered for a new generation." We can only presume that this means updated graphics for the game, and maybe even a Kinect tie-in, but who knows.

We tried to re-find the page in question, but it may have already been taken down. It also mentioned expected games such as Kinect Star Wars and Kinect Sports Season 2.
