Watch me handle my business.

****My thread from a few months ago was deleted so I'll post it again. All of you were doubting me when I said Bungie would create an MMO but now it is pretty damn apparent.****

It is now official,Bungie has now teamed up with the developers of Blizzard also ownder by Activision to create a sci-fi fps MMO. Hopefully more info is on the horizon. This could possibly be a huge new development in video games and bring in a whole new crowd for Bungie. What are your thoughts?

I do believe this particular rumour was proven to be wrong as there was a slight miscommunication on the part of Bungie, as well as a misinterpretation by the gaming media as a whole.

Not long after that release [dated March 4th] there was a correction made by Bungie

Hints, speculation, none of this can be considered 'Official'. It is true that Bungie is working on a new game as part of their 10 year publishing deal with Activision. Probably 2 IPs. But to speculate as to what they will be is pointless.

Better to wait and see what they want to reveal, and speculate then.

Either way, I am definitely looking forward to seeing what they have in mind with this project.

Well, they said it wasn't exactly a MMO. It's probably a cross breed. You know, Bungie like to mix and match game genres.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

It is now official...

That's actually a pretty good roundup of things that point to Bungie producing something akin to an MMO. Unfortunately, as the other posters said, David was attempting to make a joke. Nothing about what Bungie is making is official:

... an industrious journalist noticed the final slide from David's GDC deck which apparently proclaimed that we were hiring for a "massively multiplayer action game." Ruh oh.

Now, in rehearsal Aldridge was convinced that everybody got the joke. It was all in the delivery, he assured us, and he was certain it was clear that he was playfully riffing off of the recent rumors.

FYI. The tape will exonerate me, but I'm sorry anyway. :(

From the BWU on March 4th.

BAM said the lady

.........it's a rumour... But I'd love a Bungie MMO!

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

I don't care what they make next. They've become just another money-whore company...
