Halo 4 from GearBox?

Hi, habra people!
Recently, a rumor has spread over the network that they are responsible for the new part of the most popular Microsoft title ... Who do you think? You can’t guess in life - the authors of Half-Life: Opossing Force, Blue Shift and the world-famous Conter-Strike guys from Texas GearBox Software!
Not so long ago, journalists of a reputable western site about games interviewed the head of the studio Rand Pitchford, during the conversation asking a direct question about the Halo, to which he smiled sarcastically and ... did not say anything worthwhile. He only said that it was too early to talk about it.
However, rumors remain rumors, but the chapter has not refuted rumors about the development.
