Subject: Bungie gearing up for new game.

I have been perusing the jobs section of B.Net for quite a while now and the number of new positions being posted about is increasing at a steady rate. When Halo 3 was released, there were a few art positions, a couple design positions and a three or four engineering jobs.

If you check the job postings now there is eight art positions, six design positions and nine engineering positions. Now obviously Bungie is going ahead to work on the DLC for Halo 3, and these could be positions just coming open, but I believe that the "Next" Bungie game is well underway. Maybe we will see an announcement in 2008.

This should probably go here.

And yes, Bungie is probably working on multiple new titles.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Yeah, a few of us on irc noticed that the other day. I wouldn't be surprised if they're already in second gear for one game, actually. That's also taking into account the fact that Harold Ryan has said that Bungie [I'm paraphrasing here] "did not discontinue prototyping of new idea[s] during the development of Halo 3 like we did during Halo 2." Not exact quote, but the idea is there.

He also did state that Bungie making multiple titles would make a lot of sense for the studio, to give everyone who worked on a project a sense of personal accomplishment that isn't possible with 100 and more people on one project.
