I think you guys should just relax and wait a few more hours. After the news of Bungie working on a new Halo game that isn't Halo Wars or Peter Jacksons project I'm sure the announcement is to come sooner than later. Probably just as E3 is winding down or the day immediatly following.

Dark moment for Bungie but there light at end tunnel for them & that light is big future for it fan 3 project getting released in future

Good Effort anyways, I don't know of another developer that puts so much time and effort into creating these "experiences" for the community when making announcements. This is one of those situations where it truly is the thought that counts.

  • 07.16.2008 12:07 PM PDT

Heck, for all we know Microsoft wants them to hold off until E3 ends. Because if Bungie announces it during E3, then everyone is going to be going to the bungie booth asking quesitons and such and not focusing on the gameplay footage of GOW2, Fallout 3, and Myth 2.

s3x on the flag

How long Bungie, how long will you continue to bend over and take it from Microsoft?

Someone from Bungie send me the real announcement in a PM - I'll put it out to the Internets on the down-low.

Why do we fight? To protect home, and family. To preserve balance and bring harmony. For my kind, the true question is... what is worth fighting for
-Chen Stormstout

I'm tired of these pricks blaming Bungie!
It's not there fault you -blam!-s!
They were as hyped to show their new game, as we were to see it
So if you're blaming Bungie:
STFU, AND GTFO!
I ♡ Bungie (Even though Halo 3 wasn't so great)

I STRONGLY encourage any Bungie employee that feels the need to stick it to Microsoft, to leak information on this topic to the public.

on top of all this -blam!-, microsoft leaks it, Dan Mattrick is a giant douche.

though i do not blame bungie.....it is sad that you guys couldnt have gotten the details straightened out before building it up for us......but on the other side of the situation......its your project.....you are an independent company......why not debut whenever you want to debut? or have your neighbor post the video on youtube as a "stolen video". i for one am very dissapointed because i know you guys wont give us any firm dates that you WILL tell us about Unnamed Halo Project.....though someone leaked it is a halo project from microsoft. i donno, if you ask me, you should be in control of your project.....if you want the world to know, let the world know!

I don't want random messages (ie, Join my group, etc). I have begun blocking solicitations.

Yeah, Microsoft pulled the plug, but with good reason. They've got other major titles coming out this year, and don't want too many things dividing the interest of its consumers. MS wants to make the most money possible. It hurts a console to have 4+ major titles in the buzz at once. Besides, whatever Bungie has in store will be done when its done, regardless of whenever they announce it, so its not like you're having to wait any longer for whatever game it is.

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

The Revisionaries- One of the greatest screenshot groups on B.net. With 250 members and growing.

Lawl, it was funny seeing how hyped up everyone got.

It sucks we aren't going to see your next project, but this doesn't mean that those updates for Halo 3 you talked about last week are stopping too, does it?

Because I was really looking forward to those.

yes it is. They should have known this in advance. This is a horrible move for bungie and the publisher alike. I for one am very disappointed, and this time its for the las time. Halo 3 was a big flop to me, i liked it at first but i began to hate it more and more. And now, just when i think i might have something to be exited about again, THEY FAIL ME! I know it sounds silly, but...I HATE BUNIGE I REALLY DO NOW. THANKS A LOT FOR FAILING ME AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS!!! THANKS.
Then GTFO


believe me i will. many companies today are -blam!- -blam!- up, people need to have some -blam!- integrity and honor to their customers. i get more -blam!- from mcdonald's employees than i ever do from microsoft. i'm glad bungie told it like it was yes, and i thank them for having the balls to "split" from the corporate giant. However, i digress. I still think that they should find a different publisher then and that this still ends up being their fault. THIS IS BULL-blam!-. PUTTING -blam!- UP ON A SITE, PSYCHING PEOPLE UP, AND FOR WHAT?!?!?!? A HUGE -blam!- LET DOWN! FAIL.

  • 07.16.2008 12:11 PM PDT

Just remember... I keep it real...

BULL -blam!-! I want heads to be rolling. Who is the hell made this decision. I want names! You don't build up hype around a major announcement like that and then -blam!- on your fans.

  • 07.16.2008 12:11 PM PDT

Should I try to hold back my tears, or let nature take its course?

You guys are working on a Halo prequel probably a forerunner game or something.


What bull-blam!-

SI has said these things.
-Keep It Clean
-Pardon Out Dust
-Expect Delays
-Remain Calm

Put these all together and the SI has been saying this message to us:

Expect delays because they were planning on making this fake delay. Keep it clean because people will be swearing and saying -blam!- about Bungie because of the anger of this so-called delay. Remain calm because its still coming, just don't go overboard because you think Bungie is really delaying this. Pardon our dust because by saying that this announcement was delayed they kicked up dust and caused controversy.

This honestly fits in real well with what the SI is saying.

So, you don't think Bungie is disappointed at this as well? Come on, you know how much work they've put into the ARG, and the stuff they were going to release to us. They're probably just as pissed (if not, MORE pissed) than we are. So quit babbling, accept Bungie's appology, or get out.

Shadow Chief. They had the details straightened out. Microsoft changed the details. It was their stupid planners that screwed it all up, not Bungie.

Anyways. Sorry Bungie. This sucks royally. Don't give up! We won't leave ya that easy. We'll still be here waiting. Patiently. Well, not so patiently, but still :)
Heh heh...it does tickle me a little, though. Whatever you had coming out was so awesome, it scared Microsoft bad enough that they were afraid it'd cook GoW. You guys scared MIcrosoft into canceling you guys. That's just a little awesome, in my books. Truly a sign of BAMF-ness. :)

I vote for the "leak" approach, YouTube is a wonderful thing...

It's all fun and games until someone gets impaled with an energy sword.

Wow, Bungie really has you guys going! This is going to be great. I can't wait for this announcement to shock and awe everyone at E3. You go Bungie!!
