oh god there was more talk about hat whole vehicle pack thing again, look i know for a fact it will come out with it end of convrsation.....

but now to something RELEVANT. if they do make a new game how long do you think it will take them to make it? what do u think jumper


I would love to say that I had an answer to that.. But, I'm really not sure. Just from reading up on games and whatnot, I would say another 2 years or so after this announcement for the game to be completely finished. Maybe 3? Anyone with better knowledge on the development processes of games please help me here.


Depending on how much existing material the game has to go on has a lot to do with how long a game takes to develop. If you look at a company like EA who releases new versions of their games on a yearly cycle, the engines behind those games rarely see much more than a few tweaks. Bungie has a very unique engine that it seems to be evolving as they continue to release games. But odds are that their next project was started even before we all had copies of Halo 3 in our hands. Once the game has gone through a phase, it gets passed along for testing and polishing. The developers can't be idle in this time. So I think it's safe to say that the next project has been underway for a year or more.

Looking at the timeframe between H2 and H3, we're likely to see another year or two before the next project hits shelves. Depending of course if they are making a full-scale game like a new Halo, or perhaps the people who think it'll be an XBLA title are right, and it'll probably be online within 6 months or so.

This is all just speculation, feel free to correct me if you see any inconsistencies.


Good thinking, good thinking indeed. ; )

don't forget that there is a 87% chance of the game getting post-poned, and budged issues and problems solving lag

Come on man, take the chance of being wrong. I've read all the books to, although I've never re-read them. What do you think is going on?

Damn my sarcasm sensor is off today. You where just making fun of Halo nerds. Well I feel like an ass.

That sounds like sarcasm. >.< But if you mean it, then thanks for the compliment. Just, I'd rather that you don't take your life. We need you for this! =P

Now, I'm really off to bed. Probably now, but I'm saying it again. XD

and even with that doing so, bungie with its shorter budged since it left micro soft will have quite a few problems ahead of it that could slow its process down.

This is true. One can never be sure of anything with Micro$oft's greasy paws on it...

You really need a spell-checker.

Also, since this is a Halo game, Microsoft is still publishing it (since Microsoft owns the IP), therefore, Bungie is going to have no problems with cash flow.

I'm just throwing this out there before leaving. It's probably been noticed though.
The lights in the glass panels were turned off. Maybe something is being moved into/out of there. Not positive, but it is a possibility.

I did see little black things appearing and disappearing on the benches if that counts.
