I still think it's Halo 3. You wouldn't be so secretive about it if it wasn't. Plus you're anticipating the reaction from us like no other. You wouldn't act like this if it were any other game...

Don't think, for all you know it could be an amzing remake of the epic title.....Myth.

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!


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 :) )
-Aktins Diet


You know you are absolutely right. I have been saying that they have been working on halo 3 when they were working on halo 2 scince there was news on a new project. It only makes logical sense. And i hope they will make a version for the regular xbox, for those people that arent swimming in bags of money.

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.

Great Update Bungie! Its always nice to hear about your super secret project stuff and inner workings. I can only hope that your next project is Halo 3. If it is then it sounds like it is going to be awesome. I love how you guys pay attention to the detail. As a gamer that really means a lot.

You guys are nerds...not in a bad way but a pathetic way like, how the hell do you guys take time noticing that stuff, truthfully I just read the update and a few posts then leave...but everybody has there own way of doing things...

Why is every "update" just a bunch of rambling...and nonsense...with an overdose of unclear metaphors?

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



What does the Super Bowl have to do with Bungie announcing their next project? I'm comfuzzled

It's awesome the UI is going to be a comfortable one this time, It makes so much part of the looks in the game.

And I really didn't get the first Mister Chief Picture.


And to the guys who say "...zomg im so 1337 cuz im on 1st page lolz u nubs omgf rflo...", why do you click the "Discuss this story" button when you don't even discuss it at all? And it becomes even more lame when you post random spam, read it, and LATER edit it.
Pathetic.

Waste?

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


i think 'perspective' is achronos' favorite word. I've seen him use it on many, many occasions. Here's some perspective for you then:

If we were in your shoes, achronos, and knew what you knew about the "super top secret can't say anything about this video game we're working on" project, then it would very easy for us to also lecture people on 'getting perspective'. And the more you insist on hiding it, the more people will clamor for it. Or don't you get that yet?

just a thought.

Actually UI is very important take for example COD2 for 360 its multiplayer user UI is kinda buggy at least that's been my expierence.

Second it's great to see an update on Bungie's next project Halo 3 ........... uuhhhhhh I mean "Pimps at See" the new pirate game their working on.

Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!!!! poo poo on Halo 3 ;-)

Arguably one of the best weekly updates I’ve ever read. Great work Frankie, you really pulled through for us with information about the next project, which could safely be released with out compromising Bungie’s secret sauce. Ah yes Bungie’s famous secret sauce, I think its honey. Also nice wording Frankie, very elegant.

Sweet update bungie just keeps me drewling/waiting for the next project, secondly i would have to say that the UI is very very important. and lastly why do the people who just going to complain even bother leaving a comment i mean it would be much better if u just didnt leave one at all. but wutever cant wait till HALO 3!!!

Wow really good update! Lots of new info, wouldn't it be nice for the party leader to just change game options in game? Or to change the game all together on the spot. Example, you wanted to play mlg but you accidently left the radar on, go to menu and turn it off without leaving game, or in some cases leaving the party and making a new game, or if you want to switch profiles like your a spartan and you want an elite you can switch like battlefield 2, you die and come back as the other one you want.

I think the next project is going to be awesome, and I sure hope it has a playable zombies, were you can be one of many skins/races and when the "parasite" kills you you become one.

Wow, Bungie would be geniouses if they had a "next project" commercial for the super bowl, but I kinda hope they don't do it cuz I'm in Germany and though I will see the super bowl, i wont see the same commercials.

Keep the GOOD updates coming FRANKIE!

  • 01.28.2006 1:43 AM PDT

I can see myself in your visor...pretty.

Great update Bungie, Lovin the animated pic.
Whatever the your new project is I can't wait to play it.

For the Halo games, we used futuristic looking typefaces because those were obvious choices that fit comfortably in the new game. We won't tell you what typeface we're using in the next project, but it is a very elegant solution (that might of course change) and ties in well with some interesting stuff Dave has been doing with illustration and renders. And best of all, I can play with all of this at any time. It's an executable PC file that's spewed out by Director.

Doesn't this means the next project is not a Halo game?
It's like he says: for Halo and Halo2 we used that kind of typefaces but for the next project we use this kind of typefaces...

Unfortunatly patience is one of the things many people here lack.

Exactly. good update frankie. I enjoy reading them to get an insight on the inner workings of putting a video game together, halo 3 or not. just seems some of these kids need to learn that good things come to those who wait. if you want half baked, buggy games then shop somewhere else. i mean if they tell you "yeah were making halo 3 and its going to have all these cool things in it" and then when the game comes out it doesn't have half of those cool things mentioned people will have a cry about it. eg fable... we all should know what a flop that was compared to what it was talked up to be. Bungie take your time the majority of us know its going to be worth the wait and i can't wait to see these UI changes!
