There have been a lot of rumors floating around about Halo 3 trying to explain the surprise ending that shocked so many people.

Some of those rumors say that Halo 2 and Halo 3 are actually one game that was split because bungie wanted to get the game out and it was talking too much time. The people who believe this also believe that Halo 3 is already made and will be coming out soon.

Many are complaining about the level in the E3 video that never made it to the game and are very curious as to why this level never came up. The campaign had a brief momeny on earth and this was disappointing for some. So what of these rumors? Are they True?

These are various sites that I've found each talking about Halo 2 and Halo 3.

This one talks about Halo 2 and 3 being one game

halo 3 wont be out for another 3 years at least man...well if u add up the facts from Halo 2 and the time it took to get that out. Bungie isnt even thinking about halo 3 at this time. But if they were and say they started today think how long Halo 2 took....DAMN near 3 years man. (more like 2 1/2) but my point still stands taht it wont be out for another many years. its best we just keep on hte forums for anouncments and keep our Halo 1-2 skills shapened till the day Halo 3 goes under development.

Did you read the first site i posted. There are several people on there that "claim" (not sure if there lieing) who say that halo 3 is already made. they say this because of that level that wasn't in E3 and they believe this is when master chief picks up from halo 2's ending and lands on earth.

I believe the rumor. I was playing LIVE at my friends house and a bunch of ppl on there agree with that bungie split the games. There is so much missing in halo 2 that was supposed to be there and i was really dissapointed in it after waiting like 2 years for it to come out. I seriously hope bungie didnt take 2 years to develope halo 2. If they spent that long there should be more to the game.

I would bet my life on the fact that Halo 3 is not already completed.

Everything is bogus. The fact that some people actually think that Halo 3 will be released in two months goes beyond all the other rediculous things I've read on this forum, including the idea that Halo 2 was going to be released on August 24th.

I have no reason to doubt that eventually a Halo 3 will be made, if only based on the ending, and not even on the sales that game would make. But for now, enjoy Halo 2 and the other great games that are out right now, because, trust me, you're not going to be seeing Halo 3 for years.

In a recent game informer magazine they discussed the xbox next and with its launch date to be near the 2005 holidays. They also mentioned that Halo 3 will come out at around the same time.

I will try to find the article and post it word for word but in the mean time I've found this article:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3704136.stm
(Mainly pay close attention to the last sentences)

I found it through gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2004/10/08/news_6110134.html

In the gamespot article they say that:

--last October, Microsoft's Steve Ballmer said that Bungie was already "working on Halo 2 and Halo 3."--
