The Halo Engine is a great piece of work. The graphics, the physics, the lighting, shading, everything. The engine also seems to be designed to handle netcode damn well.

So my question/idea is - when will Bungie storm into the MMORPG market and design a game that is similar to Neocron, but better? They have the manpower, the $$$, and one of the sexiest engines around - unfortunately the company Reakktor has one of *the* best game concepts in their sci-fi MMORPG, but they cannot seem to pull it off.

Halo: Evolution could be a Sci-Fi MMORPG that blows the rest out of the water, including WoW :)

I agree that it would be fun to see, but the manpower requirements for something like that are enormous, and bungie really is a pretty small (in developer terms) group of persons. besides, they primarily make xbox games, so until they put out a keyboard (probably not until Xbox next) then I doubt we'll see any real MMORPG's anytime soon.

Hmmm remember that bungie are a boutique developer that really only make one game at a time, giving it their all. They can't have loads of games going on at once like the big developers (EA for example). I think such a format for the Halo universe is unlikely until after Halo 3, which will be an FPS and most likely on XBox 2.

most likely on XBox 2.

It is called Xbox Next and it has 3 different types. One focuses on HD TV. One will act kinda of like Web TV and im not sure what the other will do but it is coming out next year (2005) so im sure Halo 3 will come out on Xbox Next
