Personally I think Microsoft is just playing it safe. They are keeping thier inevitable ace in the hole to be revealed at a later date. They were probably expecting some awesome news from Nintendo or Sony, and then they were going to show Bungie's project to stay a step up, but Nintendo and Sony failed to show anything really groundbreaking...wait for a couple of months and then we will see it.

A nudge is as good as a wink to blind bat.

That's a huge let down. But at least E3 is packed full of other gaming goodies.

it's just really lame - nintendo and sony had such awfully lame announcements and press conferences at E3 following Microsoft's monster conference that Microsoft didn't want it's big game company to go ahead and unveil it's ace in the hole just incase they needed more to smash the competition, because they didn't need it, they don't want to throw it out there yet... it was really poorly handled tho, having bungie gear up to unleash the news and then squashing it... booo

Don't damage my calm.

First with the ARG we all expected an announcement from Bungie, but how many people thought it was a new Halo? I was expecting an announcement that was inline with the 7/11/08 Weekly Update by lukems. Specifically the the first of the bullet points at the end of the post...

Future Tense

As a reader, I can only imagine just how frustrating it is to not have any new information just yet. Rest assured, dear vengeful, hypertense reader many things are in motion. Many things. These numerous things include the following:

* Major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience
* Sweet Announcements
* Poignant Clarifications
* Certain-point-of-view Truths
* Things you will love
* Things you will argue about
* Things you will make angry videos about


What Don Mattrick was talking about in the LA Times
was about a NEW Bungie created Halo game, not about changes to Halo 3.

If Microsoft wants to announce that they are canceling a Halo game announcement no one was expecting it's their money to blow, and like Luke Plunkett said at Kotaku

Maybe, though you've (Don Mattrick) also totally taken the wind out of that announcement's sails with all this meddling.

I want to know what the "Major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience" are, and when they are going to be implemented.

I've been thinking what changes could Bungie make that would be "Major" to Halo 3's online experince?

1) Custom Games Search - which would allow them to concentrate on the new project while we amuse ourselves with games of Swat Juggernaut Assault and Low Gravity High-speed CTF.

2) Releasing the map editor that was developed for the PC version of Halo 2 for Halo 3 use.

3) Bungie would add a new permanent Playlist that would strictly be made up of Bungie favorites.

What else could Bungie do that would be a "Major Change", ideas?

Ah so HERE'S the karma coming from FF13 going to 360. Oh, the cost of making Sony sad... Oh the hubris!

What a lame move for Microsoft to make, though... They shove this announcement aside to save the glory for later? Yeaaaaaaaah. Because we're all WAY more excited and happy now. Pssh. Not to mention how totally and completely unfair it is to the bungie employees who spent all their time preparing for the announcement. Really a shame.

But hey, at least we know it's a new game to the halo franchise, that's some info, right?

I just hope it's not a series of turn based collectible card strategy games!

Anyways, you have my condolences, Bungie. We'll be anxiously waiting here buzzing with rumor until the real announcement.

You know what I was thinking recently? It's completely and utterly rediculious that Microsoft gives the game "Lips" a full 10 minutes to show off that piece of crap and make us watch "duffys" horrible preformance. That should have been scarpped and and that spot should have been used for Bungies announcement.

Maybe this Publisher should be one of the first fired into the sun once Bungie takes over the world?

  • 07.17.2008 10:20 AM PDT

It is not Bungie's fault I guess.

Could you guys at least ell us when we might be able to hear the announcement?

Bungie was supposed to show stuff at E3 and PAX. I'm guessing it will all be shown at PAX now thank's to Microsoft.

Proof

Nearly 100% sure this is when we will see the announcement.

I was watching E3 earlier and you know low on the screen E3 news then it said "Bungie was blocked from showing their new project per request of their publisher". Then it talked about Don Mattrick saying it was a new halo game etc. Then it said: "Microsoft is setting up a "special event" to announce the game".

Please hurry!
I need a new Halo game my friends aren’t sick of so they will stop playing Call Of Duty 4!
An embarrassment of riches…?? r..i..g..h..t the new dashboard is soo cool just like my wii.
And gears of war with a flame thrower and a gatling gun straight out of Halo 3…
An embarrassment of Xbox fans! A new Halo game would have overshadowed everything else. If I was the “Publisher” I would have done the same thing.

THANKS A LOT FOR -blam!- US OVER. YOU GUYS SUCK ALONG WITH YOUR HALO 3 GAME. YOU GUYS ARE UNRELIABLE AS ALWAYS


AMEN!!


Both you idiots stow the b*tching and take it like a man. You can wait, it won't kill you. Or do you still cry when mommy says you can get candy another time at the grocery store?

Back off, let Bungie do their stuff. Contrary to popular belief a million "I HATE YOU BUNGIE, ZOMG U R TEH SUXXZORZ!" posts aren't going to speed things along.
