I am of an open mind and I am willing to hear criticism. Also: That's stupid and you're stupid.

I would assume so, Bungie has been working on Reach for 2-3 years. Enough time to give small bits of info around.

My old Bungie.net account was created February 6, 2008. Unfortunately, I had signed up using my brother's email account (we then shared an Xbox Live account which was linked to my old Bungie.net account), and he changed the password, meaning I couldn't log in. Thus is why I have this account.

Well, they are the Official Xbox Magazine. I'm sure they would know about it.

You do realise that you can't go further than the 60th minute in an hour right?

Yeah ok, maybe not in Canada...

Wait. Not trying to be rude, just wondering, but where did you see that Bungie has been working on Reach for 2-3 years? And even though its OXM, it could have been said because of a rumor heard or speculation.

Bungie said that they have been working on it since before Halo 3 was released, I believe. I don't have a source, but I am very sure that they said it at some point. And if that is true, then it should be loads better than Halo 3 because it isn't being rushed.

Guys, you're misinterpreting the wording of the article.

The game was called Halo 3: Recon, yes, but it seems obvious to me that their usage of "Recon" was referring to the armor permutation, and that the world being ready for another Halo game was the means in which to achieve it: Halo 3: ODST (or at the time, Halo 3: Recon).

There is no way OXM knew of Reach before its announcement. OXM is not run by Microsoft in any way, and they are often providing misinformation regarding the Halo franchise. They're the same bunch of uninformed lugs who said Halo 3 had Spartan-IIIs in it. Turned out they were just marines with bulkier armor. Big difference.

They didn't know about Reach.
