A couple of Halo-related news with Halo 4 being rumored to have its official debut later this month and the official end of Bungie's role in the series now has a date.
According to a Finnish magazine, Halo 4 is rumored to have its official debut later this month and specifically during Microsoft's Xbox Spring Showcase which will occur on February 29.
While neither 343 Studios, developers of Halo 4, nor Microsoft have made no official statements about the game since e3 2011, Microsoft is trying to gain rights to the bogus Halo 4 beta website. If a beta does occur this year, it could follow the steps of Halo 3 by either arriving this May or signal Halo 4's release date of 2012 (Halo 3's beta occurred 4 months before Halo 3's release date).
Bungie announced the final handover date for the Halo series will occur on March 31 with Halo stats, user generated content, Bungie Pro memberships, and Halo Waypoint moving to Microsoft's and 343's servers. After that date only historical related data will be kept on Bungie's own website servers.
