Awesome update. Those next playlists should be crazy! But I still don't understand why you won't just say your next project is Halo 3. Most game sites like Gamespot already have a release date for Halo 3 next year. Enough with the secrecy, its not a secret!

KARATE!!!

God I hope it's not halo 3, I remember bungie saying their next project wouldn't be halo 3, so if it is that means they have no control over what they get to create and the only thing we'll ever see from them is joke titles like pimps at sea and halo 3 - 10. I get it, you make good first person shooters you've been doing it since the early 90's. Please try something else that will translate to consoles that isn't oni 2. If anything you should save halo 3 until after you've made a game on the system so you can see what it's capable of.

If he doesn't give us some real info on the project soon, I think I'm gonna cry. I can't take it much longer. They won't even tell us if their planning on using Havok again for it.

Hey ZaBoU, i totally agree. Why should they keep Halo 3 hiding, just announce it already. Can't be that difficult really can it? We know they're making Halo 3 as of the ending sequence of Halo 3 but, however; on the other hand, i feel like 2 games coming out, is a wow. Halo 3 and a new game experience. 2! Now that would be cool....and the idea is on a distant moon in a far far away galaxy!

Well, i didnt expect them to tell us what they were working on, but its nice to know that it is going at a nice pace. Unlike Halo CE or Halo2 where they had to crunch the last peices of the game right at the end. I still would like to know when they plan to tell us what "it" is though. But i guess that will come in due time as well.

Keep up the good work Bungie!

i could care less about halo 2 on the 360. Heck, i could care less about Halo 3 also.I do want to hear more about Halo CE: "Combat Evolved" Also known as Halo One on the 360. Halo 3 Blah, i will not keep my hopes up. My friends and I in our gaming comunity got our hopes up about Halo 2 and look at that. its become nothing but a passtime for us. Its like they tried killing Halo CE: when this piece of garbage came out. the only reason its more popular is because you can play it on live. thats the only reason. you cant match the gameplay and mastering Halo CE: in its simplicity , not to mention its pace of play and fluid gameplay that incorporated an effective fluid melee. The original Halo marked a point on the video game timeline that actually incorporated vehicles in every game mode effectively, fluidly and most importantly the fun of using the vehicles. All that was lost in halo 2. The vehicles are a waste of memory and should have never made it to the game, especially in multiplayer. -blam!-, we dont even understand why They wasted their time on creating outside multiplayer maps? The vehicles are useless and nobody wants to use them cause basically, THEY SUCK! You blow it up and it takes 5 minutes before you can even attemp to stratergize another vehicle attack. So we ask Bungie to please NOT make Halo 3 unless they plan on adding another all around powerfull weapon that when handled correctly, takes Skill, Timing, and levels the playing field once again. yup, im talking about "THE PISTOL". i mean whats wrong with a weapon that you actually have to aim correctly to have it be effective!

If you think about it and how popular it was and how much fun it was to play and the billions of outcomes and tricks and strategies you have played in CTF BG on Halo CE:, Bungie could have made an entire multiplayer experience that will never die out around this 1 map and gametype! Halo 2 is not unlike any other multiplayer game outther now. they killed halos originality with going with huge outside maps and powerfull talented weapons such as the Rocket and Pistol!

i guess what im asking of bungie is to please remember the uniqueness and the explosive impact and hypnotic aspects including a fluid melee and absolutely perfect gameplay that they created "on accident" i guess when they made the First Halo as they attemp to make Halo 3 !!!!!!!!

Thanks again Bungie for Making Halo Combat Evolved, a game that no doubt may never be topped! I absolutely cannot wait to play it on the XBOX 360! Im sure the smaller TV's will come out of our closets along with the extra long ethernet cables and packed into cars and all loaded up in one of our living rooms to enjoy the addiction of Halo CE: on LANS untill all hours of the night just to have the same experience all over again in the highest quality visuals available! Halo 2 was nowhere near as motivating. infact, we have never LANNED once for Halo 2! Friends would bring their own TV's for Halo CE: We can remember blowing out the electricity in one of our apartments cause we had so much -blam!- hooked up!

Oh , and btw . why does the MC look like a retarted TURTLE in Halo 2!?

The harm is that when everyone knows what the game is, they will want more and more from bungie. Pictures, movies, release dates. And what people are given will not be enough. Most of all the release date. That was the trouble they ran into with Halo 2. They were barely able to finish before Nov. 9th. I think that they should just announce when they will tell us about the game. By that time they will have enough of the game done to tell us the release date and not be put under pressure.

1. You sir, are an idiot.

Bungie capitalized and made Halo 2 better than Halo 1. I mean, non-destructible vehicles adds a completely arcadey feel to the game that I just didn't really care for. (But I liked Halo 1 anyway). Halo 2 was so much better as a game and as a Bungie tool for world domination.

2. Oh and for the pistol. You sir, are a moron.

The M6C pistol was largely overpowered and too overly used. Again, it added an arcadey feel to the game (A rifle should be far more powerful than a pistol, because a pistol is a logical sidearm, NOT a go-to gun). But I would say add a tiny bit more muscle to the magnum, just to keep people like you from -blam!-ing.

3. The Master Chief would crush you under his boot. Tread lightly.

Aside from the fact, this guy is a level 27 in team slayer and a level 21 in double team, so he must not think Halo 2 is bad because he has logged about 445 games in one playlist.

Quit yer -blam!-in', DeSnake

You want to know what it'd be like to have no moderators on this site? Try this easy to prepare simulation.
Step 1: Procure yourself an intact box, something a fridge or similarly large appliance.
Step 2: Fill cardboard box halfway with feral cats. One or two should be rabid.
Step 3: Climb inside the box, closing the top behind you.
Step 4: Begin screaming and thrashing wildly at the cats.

If you go to gamespot.com and search for Halo 3 they already have it posted as set for release in Q2 2006. If that doesn't get it through people's heads that their next project is Halo 3 and it is already in the works, I don't know what will!

I really don't get the secrecy with Bungie. What's the point!? Do they think we'll want to buy it more if they announce it later? Seriously, what is the point.


If it really is Halo 3 they are making, the reason they arn't announcing it is all about marketing me thinks. If everyone knows Halo 3 is coming out and they know its a SURE-FIRE-THING, then many Halo fans will probably wait until Halo 3's realease to buy the Xbox 360. That would lessen overall launch sales -giving Microsoft a loss in money- and distract people from the many other brillinat launch titles in Nov or Dec respectively. Well, thats my theory, don't flame me, im only 16 ;)
well thought out... u seem a brilliant strategist

Hey, nice update. And what game is it that you guys are making (lol). Anyways, I kinda hope that it's Halo 3 that you're working on. Even if it isnt, I look forward to hearing more about it. And I also can't wait until the Halo 2 Soundtrack Vol. 2 comes out. It will be cool to listen to that good ole' music. Other than that, it's good to hear that we are getting closer to getting a little info on the next Halo project. Anyways, have a good weekend.

This is definitly the best update since Peter Freaking Jackson was anounced. It's good to know more on where Halo.... I mean their next project is. If all goes well we will see some really cool stuff in the fairly near future.

lord of war11 just about sums it up. You guys should read other peoples posts before you go posting away, cause it makes you sound stupid. I had just said Halo 3 must be their next project, and that it already has a release date for Q2 2006, but people still kept posting that they hoped the next project would be Halo 3.

Their next project is Halo 3, end of story.
