5. 343 Industries
Halo 4 is going to be the fist title in the series that will not be developed by Bungie, but instead will be in the more than capable hands of 343 industries who are also responsible for the HD remake of Halo:Combat evolved Anniversary. A new developer means a lot of new things in the cogs and gears of the Halo machine. Firstly there is the new artwork including a whole new design for the Master Chief and Cortana as well as whole new bunch of stunning maps. Art director, Kenneth scott described the new art for the franchise as "being more ingrained in the expanded universe fiction" and more "mature" than before. It also means a new team working on the soundtrack for the title and I think we can all agree that Halo's soundtrack has always been second to none. With the new recording techniques being used by audio director, Sotaro Tojima (that include underwater recording sessions and the use of home made explosives) it sounds as if Halo 4's soundtrack will continue in the vein of awesome created by the franchises previous titles. http://youtu.be/f6UL63Zo-uo
