If it's not true then the recent statements from the higher-ups over at Xbox would be false. I'm not going to quote anyone as I cannot remember exact statements, but rather tell you to check Team Xbox and other gaming sites for the statements.

its true, because there are pictures of the xenon developing kit all over the net...plus, in the recent GI, it has an article about creating new games using the xenon kit....so that proves that...

they plan on releasing the xenon in winter 2k5, then releasing halo 3 at the same time as the ps3...you shouldn't have to ask why they would want to do that....

Which makes it ultra annoying for those of us who bought an XBox to play Halo 2 --

I knew they would launch H3 at the same time as XB2, sure, I have enough money for another game, but not a 500$ console plus another game. Marketting isn't all about thwarting your competition... its mostly about public appearence. Its still in Bungie's hands what they'll do with their game, and I'm hoping they'll be good to their fans and not force their core demographic (University) to spend another 600 dollars on their game because they just cannot afford it, and it looks bad on them.

They made Halo 2 because they wanted to make a great game (says their interviews), and I hope they still remember that -- and not simply do this to push the sales of two separate consoles.

Halo 1 + Xbox at launch: 570$ (CDN, which is ~0.85$ US) about
Halo 2 + XBL 1 yr = 120$ CDN
Halo 3 + XBox 2 = (estimate) 570$ (CDN)
1260$ CDN (~1070$ US)

My purchase list:

Halo PC: 60$
Xbox 1 + Halo 2: 260$
XBL: 80$/Yr
XBox 2 + Halo 3: 570$
970$ CDN (~825$ US)

... Not a lot of people wish to spend those figures to find out how a story ends --
(I am very pro Bungie -- which is why I hope they'll do as I always believed they would, and finish the Xbox 1 with Halo 3. If they wish to create a totally "pimped out" trilogy for the Xbox 2 with enhanced graphics and new features -- okay o.o)

PS -- multiply my figures by 1.15 to account for taxes I paid aswell.

Uhh Siccc

Ok, For those that dont believe there is an xbox 2 or whatever its called coming out, check out any gaming site. Or just go to msn and search for Next Gen Consoles.
you will find numerous sites with screens of next gen games, all that...
it is definitely coming out. All the screens and videos say late 2005 and all that.
If you dont believe, go to Ea and check that pic out...

As far as halo 3.... Expect it with the launch.
And in response to the guy above who said people wouldnt pay for it...You're an idiot. Everyone will buy the new console. Especially if released during the American Holiday season. Also, if Halo 3 is a launch title. But hey if you want to wait and not get Halo 3 and pretty much the new console because you're cheap thats cool too. One more for the true fans.

NONE IS OFFICIAL UNTIL THERE IS A PRESS CONFERENCE BY BILL GATES HIMSELF. SO ALL THIS HALO 3 ON "XBOX2" IS A LIE. LEAVE THE FANS ALONE AND STOP CONFUSING PEOPLE.

I've been around these parts for almost eight years now...wow! Maybe I should be concerned about that...

If bungie wanted the world to know about halo 3 they'd tell us first on or at:

1. Television
2. Bungie.net
3. Something else

Halo 3 would (will) be a big release and bungie.net members would (will) deserve to hear it first. Bungie also said there next game won't be a new halo.

ok #1 just because something hasnt been made official doesnt mean that its a lie. bethasda is working on eldar scroll 4 for the next generation microsoft console, which means that most likely there is going to be another console from microsoft soon. and why wouldnt it make since that xbox2 or whatever coems out soon, look at what coming out early did for the ps2, sure the graphics are almost a whole generation behind the xbox and gc but the ps2 was the leader in sales for a long time (if they arent still). it makes since that microsoft would try to get a jump on sony and nintendo.

#2 why complain that the next installment of halo is going to be on a new system. i would rather wait for halo3 to come out on a new console just cause it has that much more room to grow. why wouldnt you want the climax of the halo series to be on the best console available. plus the longer that it takes xbox2 and halo3 to come out the more play time i get on halo2. cause i know that when halo3 comes out i wont be playing halo2 jsut like i dont play halo:ce now.

Yep -- because with university costing 7 grand/year when I make max 4 grand/year I really have enough money to blow another (over a) half-of-a-grand on a video game? (my loans are high enough as it is -- don't call me an idiot for not spending 500$ senselessly)

And I didn't say that a profitable amount of people will not do the above, because they will, I'm just saying that their core demographic is the people who eat kraft dinner 24/7 because they don't have enough money to buy the other food daily.

P.S. -- If a true fan is someone who will bury themselves in a debt they cannot escape from, get their car reposessed, and not get their doctorate in Physics which they're aiming for just so they can see what the cutscene after the credits are talking about -- then I guess I'm not a true fan. -- though I'll have a house and a wife and a car and no-one threatening to break my knees o.o Man I'm an idiot?

obviously if its a New gen Halo game it will truly own all others with no competition. but until there is some legit news or statements about the arrival of such, then nothing is certain. its not always good to get your hopes up. I as a Halo series fan truly hope Halo 3 or some sort of Halo reference gets released to fill the void i feel thinking about the ending. I as i know many of you feel the same wanna know what happens next. so have patience. it'll come when you least expect it amigos. :)

HA HA HA! i love how the mods do everything in there power to cover up stuff that probably is going to be confirmed at a not so later date.
stosh says: "WE CAN NEITHER CONFIRM NOR DENY THE EXISTENCE OF A HALO 3"
pssst, shiska does this look right? "meh"

its kind of like a loosing battle, all this hard work to cover up things that most likely will come to fruitition, not hacking you mods or anything, but i know how non disclosure agreements work, hell if being sued by microsoft was a result of doing this i cover -blam!- up too. release confidental info, get my posterior removed by bloodsucking lawyers, its obvious people, halo 2 was a cliffhanger without support rope, halo numba 3 will be made, its more like just a question of when, oh and technically bungie would have already have to have worked on the halo 3 in order to make sure there cliffhanger worked out, just design documents and story elements no actual 3d models and pixel shaded textures.

why, and how? do i finish what i started and make tens of millions of dollars? or do i make a mazed based eat em up? tough question very tough i am gonna need a drink.

Bungie acually had announced a while ago that the next installment they make is not going to be Halo 3. They weren't even sure if they were going to make a Halo 3. This may have changed in the past month, but I doubt it. They're all taking a break as you can see from the cams, and if they were to be doing something about Halo 2, is make extras. Why would you have the abillity to download content if your not going to get any. Proven that they have and probably will make content is from the matchmaking update. They also said that they have already made some MP maps. No word on anything going to come out.

Bungie says alot of things, and they can because they own it. so they can say they wont be working on another Halo until they finish the Pimp pirates thing. maybe thats a just a cover up. who knows, the point is. it doesnt matter if it is or not. dont make this situation like the Area 51 stuff. Its there but its "not" get it. Halo 3 is most likely there, but until they release satelite photos of it theres no telling. LOL!

Area 51 is in existance -- obviously o.o They confirmed it themselves when they admitted that was where the SR-41 and the F-117A (Stealth) was made -- and whenever they tell commercial airliners not to go into its airspace for risk of being shot down.

I doubt they care anymore if people knows it exists, they just don't want people to know whats going on IN it (I'm not talking about Alien -blam!- -- I personally don't believe in that -- I'm talking about cold hard technology production. SR-41 was only known about AFTER its decommission -- and they STILL don't say all of its statistics.)

But back on topic -- I know people beat this to death -- but WTF was Steve Balmer (or however you spell his last name) I believe a boardmember of the Microsoft Corporation talking about when he mentioned XBox 2, Halo 2, and Halo 3 at the MS Office tech conference? Don't trust what Microsoft says though -- from what I remember they called a Q4 2003 release of Halo 2 which OBVIOUSLY wasn't Bungie's decision.

I just hope they worry about the gamers, rather than Microsoft hardware sales if/when they make Halo 3

And they said their next game would NOT be another Halo game -- but like I said -- if they were working on Halo 3 AS they said that -- would it be their next game?

"We're not going to start another Halo game after Halo 2's release... ... ... because we already did."

It is true, developers like Bethesda have already said that they have development kits for the Xbox Next right this instant. They are very early versions of the dev kit, but they are beginning to make Elder Scrolls IV for it.

What is it with that guy and elder scrolls. stop mentioning the same thing over and over. WAIT for legitimate resources about HALO! not ELDER SCROLLS! nobody cares about that here in BUNGIE. HALO 2 and 3 are the TOPICS. go to elder scrolls forums or whatever and post your obsessed and over weight

Actually the topic was the XBox 2 and Halo 3. The only reason why he posted about elder scrolls is because their devs are one of the minority who released info about the XBox 2.

And P.S -- calling someone obsessed and over weight is pretty pathetic and is a sign of true newbocity (newbocity (n-eugh-bássətee ): n, 1> lack of intelligence, common sense, grammer, proper capitalization, clear focused thought, skill, experience, friends, and clue. 2> the demeaning of others out of insecurity of their poor fragrate and lack of mental separation between team slayer to assault, capture the flag, and other team based playlists. See: newbie)

Respect people's opinions on the board, and if you have a disagreement, state so with capital letters at the begining of each sentance, punctuation at the end, lower case letters inbetween with the only exceptions being outlined to you through elementary school such as titles of works, registered trademarks, etc.
