I'm guessing multiplayer will be their biggest priority since the BETA will be out by the end of the year (or early next year)

then they'll have some Campaign gameplay videos in store for E3 2010, then announce a release date around September 2010

Sound about right?

Both. Some people only work for the campaign, some only for the multiplayer.

probably campaign because usually MP maps are based off surroundings in campaign. or am i thinking of COD

Bungie stated long ago that they finish Multiplayer before they work on Single Player. That may have only applied to Halo:CE and Halo 2 when they had a smaller force.

Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

Both at the same time.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

I really hope they work on the Campaign first. That's what they did with Combat Evolved and botht he MP and Campaign were enjoyed by everyone. Then for Halo 2 and 3 they prioritised MP leaving an incredibly scripted Campaign for Halo 2 and a somewhat glitchy Campaign for Halo 3.
Quite frankly I could care less about the Multiplayer component, sure it's fun but the Campaign is the big hook when it comes to buying a game for many players.
Reach simply has so much potential that I don't want to see wasted.

EDIT: I also see nothing wrong with them possibly having a Campaign team and a Multiplayer team working seperately from each other so each team can focus completely on their area of work.

They always work on both at the same time. No aspects are either left untouched by Bungie at any time.
