Summary

AHalofan online has made a surprising discovery at a thrift store, picking up a collector’s item for an extremely low price. CollectingHalomemorabilia is a hobby for many Xbox gamers out there, and one lucky fan has managed to snag a bargain deal.

TheHalofranchise began withCombat Evolvedback in 2001. It was instantly regarded as one of thebest exclusives on the original Xbox, if not the best. For many, Bungie had redefined the first-person shooter genre, and it would uphold a stellar reputation with itsHalogames throughout the next decade. The titles released by 343 Industries in the years post-Halo: Reachhave proved to be a little more divisive, although the series remains one of the top first-person shooters out there at the moment.

Redditor jg1027 shared their awesome thrift store discovery, after managing to find a sealed copy ofHalo 4for just $5. It’s an impressive find, especially considering the fact thatHalo4is set to turn 12 years old later this year. Beyond the packaging, it looks to be in pristine condition, meaning in the unlikely event thatHalo 4increases in value in many years' time, jg1027 could be in for a windfall. In the thread, they confirmed their intention to keep it sealed and continue playingHalo 4onThe Master Chief Collection, just in case this occurs. Stranger things have happened - earlier this year,unopened NES games sold for ridiculous prices online, so it’s worth the $5 gamble in this case.

In the full list ofeveryHalogame, there are definitely many gamers who would placeHalo 4lower in their rankings. As 343 Industries' first entry into the series, the developer still had a lot to learn, but even still, there’s a lot to like here. The game’s inclusion inHalo: The Master Chief Collectionhas done its reputation a lot of good over the years, especially on PC, where mods have been able to improve the game even further.Halo 4might not be perfect, but looking back, it’s an interesting evolution of a classic formula.

Looking forward, it will be interesting to see where the future ofHalolies. 343 Industries continues to updateHalo Infinitealmost three years after its launch, but it isn’t clear when the developer plans to move forward with the next iteration in the series. Some feel thatthe nextHalogame will face more pressure than any before it, with expectations for a strong product at launch next time around. Whether this plays out remains to be seen.
