They said what they're working on for the next project, but still have not announced what the next project is. Maybe next week.


In the last few updates they've mentioned that:

* the next project will be a game
* it will have a HUD
* it will be on Xbox 360
* there will be a leaderboard involved
* audio files will need more buttoning up "this time around"
* the next game will have multiplayer
* Bungie hopes the next multiplayer component will be played for years to come
* there will be menu screens involved
* it will be like a cake filled with pies
* and more stuff that I don't remember

WOW Did anyone notice that the animated masterchief this week holds up three fingers, and that the coloring in his left eye (when opened) resembles the number three. I believe this is a hint at the next project... Can anyone say HALO 3!

A great update, and the Mister Chief holding up a three and winking. THE KING OF ALL GAMES IS COMING! Step Seven is upon us!

Waste?

In what way is this a waste? Some of you need to get some perspective and some patience.


Noone said this was a waste.. wel noone above you that is..

Gunshark, about your signature:

I hope they don't screw it up, but that's a little harsh to say. halo 3 won't come out for a while (in years) because they still have to make weapons, maps, characters, storylines, maybe end halo, and copy all the programs+ship it and all that. Good games take a while to come out.

Nobody asked you. I suggest you stop reading, because other people do care about the fine details, even if they are a bit shrouded in mystery.

Given the choice between absolutely nothing and the little info we are giving, most people pick what they're getting.

Next time, keep your trolling the news thread to a minimum, or you're liable to be banned for trolling.

You can't. Sorry. Only superusers, mods, and theme masters get them.

An idea just popped into my head for an interface. It wouldn't work for Bungie's next project. But it might for Call of Duty 2. You can have like a globe. And if you play with the thumbsticks it spins and rotates a globe. Then the triggers zoom in and out. And you can use this to pick your choices.

Nevermind, I just re-read what I wrote, and that idea sucks. Because which country is going to mean, invert controls? Wait a minute....Australia could be inverted controls. But...how would people know this? Yeah, this idea sucks.




Ugggg...*drools on keyboard* Need Xbox 360 and Call of Duty 2....

What do you mean by "superusers"? I have seen regular people, as members, of course, have Halo 2 emblems. For example, like my gamertag. It shows my emblem next to it when I view my stats. So it's not possible to do something like that? Last time I'll ask; I'm just curious.

That remotely reminds me of Metroid Prime 2's UI. Have you ever played it? Each option is a stem off of a vertex and you spin the control stick to spin the options. It's pretty cool, but It could potentially be frustrating for very in-depth UI trees.

The Halo 2 UI was very nice, so depending on what their next game is, the new UI should look similar.

Firstly, superusers are people like Achronos and Frankie with gold text. Second, I didn't understand what you meant the first time around. You can make your Live Ebmlem your avatar if you have your gamertag linked by going to "My Settings" then "Avatar" and clicking on something like "Use live emblem" or something (I can't remember because I don't have mine linked). Lastly, from now on, you should ask website questions in The Septagon.

Cool UI talk. (can we talk skull menu this time...gosh)
When is E3 this year ?
I wonder what you guys have up your sleeves.
Another week of drooling. Thanks Bungie.

Thanx Franki! I especially liked the animated Mister Chief. How many fingers? And WOW doesn,'t that wink in the left eye look peculiar? Can't wait to see you at E3 with the new project.

  • 01.27.2006 5:56 PM PDT

Shazam.

I don't think they will announce at E3, I think it will be with millions of people watching at Super Bowl XL.

First of all, I like you name, as crude as it is.

Second, I highly doubt that it is Halo 3. No one can think up new maps, weapons, characters, graphics, integrate Xbox Live, a storyline, copy and ship a million games, in only 2 years. Not even Bungie. Such a highly anticipated game must be planned out carefully. No matter how much pressure, Bungie should wait until Halo 3 is the best they can make it. I don't mean this in a negative way; the reason I got my Xbox was for Halo 2, but don't release Halo 3 early like Halo 2. An excellent game is worth the wait.

LoL your joking right?
Bungie has been working on 2 games at once! Halo 2 and halo 3!
They worked more on 3 then 2, thats why there was so many bugs and errors with halo 2. (plus not as fun campain by a HOLE LOT)
They made halo 2 to setup the "3rd time's a charm" :)

Hope everyone knows that now.

FRANKIE: FINNALY! You actully had a update all about halo 3. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I WAITED FOR THIS?
Thanks for finally putting it into gear. (even if it is the super UI :) )

What do you mean "are you joking"? You know it's true. We will all regret getting Halo 3 when it's not at its best.

That was a good update, but I was looking forward to some playlist update info.

Oh yeah, can someone tell me what a UI is. From what I've been reading I think that it is menu screens.
