The whole thing about me signature and all that is how Bungie better not leave the epic and glorious franchise that made them the true gaming superstars to the dogs.

1. No other Bungie game franchise has penetrated this deep into popular culture (Halo 2 outgrossing Spider-Man 2's weekend haul on DAY ONE? A new movie. All sorts of pop culture stuff.)

2. The cliffhanger of Halo 2 would be completely unforgivable even if the new project was better than Halo 3.

3. The XBox 360s will be wanted a lot more once Halo 3 hits like a super hammer.

4. Step Six and Step Seven of the Bungie Plan can't really reach full fruition until this trilogy is complete.

5. The Master Chief deserves it.

And besides that, if Ubisoft could release a franchise development ONCE A YEAR with Splinter Cell and once every two years with Ghost Recon, (both are amazing game franchises) and Bungie has a larger and faster growing staff than any of their one studios (I think). Bungie can get it done.

The main question is why do they have something that is already playable according to some recent weekly updates? Could it be any other project other than Halo 3? My answer is that it is Halo 3 because the plot would already be fully determined, the UI is in process, and so on. How could it be moving along that fast if Bungie didn't split the game in half?

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


that doesn't say much about the new game:
It's a game
It's on a really freakin expensive system that has lots of bugs
There are menu screens and interface (big deal, every game has that)
Multiplayer.

I think what people want is specifics on the new project, not some menu screens.

I like seeing attention given to these little things like UI. I think they're important too. Very cool.

Its great at ow bungie thinks they are so high and mighty in the video game world, that they have to toy around with their "fans" by talking about a damn sorry user interface and play around with the fact that just talking about the game they ar emaking isnt going to hurt anything.

Everyonknows that at some point in time you ar eworking on halo 3, quit trying to act liek thats not what it is.
If you arent making ahalo 3, and feel that halo 2 was good enough to leave off on, your even dumber then I thought.

And you kids kiss thier ass makeing it allright for them to dance around info. Jusy say your -blam!- making halo 3 and quit playing around liek its the most important thing anyone will ever see.

Just because alot of peopel play halo 2, doesnt make it a quality game or the best, it just means that all people think xbox live is for is for halo 2.


Also, what is so -blam!- big and bad about being the second or third post or on the first page?

I kinda doesnt cound as a comment if all you say is "yay i was first" do you wina prize? Im still waiting for this prize you get when you get a really high level...

Oh, there is no prize?? then why do you take it so seriosly?? Oh right, because things you learn in halo 2 will only make you a better person in life right?
NO, it makes children the most unbearable things in this world because halo 2 has taught them that they can cuss anyone they want out and call random people names and get away with it "because its only a game"

When my son starts playing, and I hear one oof you children talk the way you do normaly to him, I'll come to yuor house, kll you and feed you to your parents.
Bungie has ruined the xbox live comuntiy with halo 2 and they are only gonna make it worse, because when halo 3 comes out, its gonna make it ok for the other kids to go off on people who are 10-15 years older then them.

How about bungie... you stop beating around the bush on your obvious next project and work on something like keeping these -blam!- kids from being so damn stupid, or mayeb putting an update up[ about how these kids are ruinging the game more then the damn cheaters.

Theres nothing I love mroe then going into a game I really want to pklay at the time, and having some 10-12 year old boy tell me how hes gonna come to my house, -blam!- my mom and kill my whole family....
You kids dont seem to realize that your addresses are very easy to find :)

Dear smoker,

Life isn't like that, get used to it. Halo 2 is one of the best games ever made. It's not Bungie's fault that idiots ruin it.

So suck it.

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.

Sorry mate, but halo 3 is to much for xbox to handle, plus they want people to save up to buy the system and the game. (hurts ps3 sales)


RESPONSE TO: Thecrypysmoker

Also, to those who think this update is to much of a tease,
WHAT WILL YOU DO WHEN THEY GIVE A LAUNCH DATE FOR THE GAME?
lol prob have a heart attack. Look, part of making a game is selling it to the people before it comes out. This gets people to come back, and thus people start talking about it to there firends, and it spreads. This is the cheepest form of avertisement. If you dont like it leave. BUT WAIT! You cant, because BUNGIE OWNS YOU.
looks like bungie is almost on step 7.....

It won't be unforgivable. Bungie purposely made the cliffhanger. None of us excepted it, that's all. The reason for it was to make Halo 3. I think it was a smart idea. Without the cliffahnger, there would be no Halo 3.

God, people. You really want Halo 3 to come out so bad. I didn't even want Halo 2 that bad. If you get halo 3 now, think of how it wouldbe. It's gaming quality. They only had 2 years for Halo 3. A good game need a lot of time. It will not come out anyday soon. You guys really have got to get it through. It's not a smart idea to release Halo 3 so soon. One reason is because of the other new games, like Call of Duty 2 and all the others. Second, people are still buying Halo 2. And, you have to wait for more people to buy the Xbox 360. Most are waiting for the prices to drop. Not even screenshots will come out soon. It's impossible for such a hioghly-anticipated game to be done or even have screenshots. Really, guys, you're making excuses to think that Halo 3 is coming. Just wait, for God's sake. It won't kill you to play other games.

http://bungie.net/Stats/GameStats.aspx?gameID=407149965&p laye r=TKK%20Infamous this is the link to the game</a>hi sry but i didnt noe where or how to post this but this guy wuz standbying the whole game and it really irritated me.... his name is xTxWxIxZx and all the uthers were in his party too. And if something doesn't happen to them they will just keep doing it and think nothing is wrong. Please click on the link provided to see the post game stats of the game.


He had 16 deaths. Maybe he "stoodby-ed" , but I don't think anyone could put up with it for a whole 12 minutes. If it happened to the whole game, then he couldn't of had so many kills.

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.

I'm so sick of people posting in the forums about how they really want Bungie to say what their next game is. Kids keep asking and talking about it, when all they need to do is go onto the internet and type in Halo 3. It isn't that diificult to find out about Halo 3.
I've said this before, and I will say it again:
BUNGIE'S NEXT GAME IS HALO 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will cite Gamespot on this one:
Bungie's popular first-person shooter makes its debut on the next Xbox system with Halo 3.
By: MS Game Studios, Bungie Software
Genre: Sci-Fi First-Person Shooter
Release Date: Q2 2006

For Clarification, BUNGIE'S NEXT GAME IS HALO 3!!!!!
It even has a tentative release date! Another article on Gamespot.com is about how Bill Gates talked about how Halo 3 will not be on the release date of PS3. Further proof that their next game is Halo 3. He also says that Bungie will release when they want.

Again, I reiterate. Bungie's next game is Halo 3, and all that is left to determine is a release date. Bungie is not saying what their next game is and gicing details because that would just ruin. Where would the suprise and craziness be if Bungie just said our next game is Halo 3 and started giving every single detail about the game. If they did there wouldn't be much anticipation for the game because everyone knew a lot about it. I think it is Bungie's right to be secretive and I even agree with their secrecy.

To sum up for people who didn't what to read all that babble:
1)Bungie's next game is Halo 3
2)Stop being angry at Bungie for not giving away their secrets and stop asking them for some. they are giving away cool information as it is.

ROCK ON BUNGIE! Good luck with World Domination.

We DON'T want it to come out NOW. We just hate the fact that Bungie loves yanking everyone's chains. If they could just announce it, everyone would be happy. Sure, it wouldn't help us actually getting it faster, but it wouldn't hurt us... it would help mentally knowing it's comming. Not thinking about Bungie, whos now able to make a different game all togethor. And they know that's what we're thinking. Stop putting doubt it our minds Bungie. Just say it's halo3. It won't hurt you, but it'll help us.

I'm damn sure that Bungie wouldnt release the game so early. Not many people have the X360, so only a handful can get it. Halo 3 will, frankly, be really crappy if they release it now. Use common sense people... Where are the screenshots or the trailers for IGN or Gamespot? Gamespot Does, however, have release dates. But then why not announce it? It just doesnt make sense. Not even a concept art cover page. If they announced the release of Halo 3, then many more people would buy the Xbox 360. Yet they don't. Not a good buisness strategy. I know it's not Halo 3.

I understand you Proteus. It does all seem wierd. But why would Bungie be so so secret if it wasn't Halo 3. As I said in the earlier post there is also an article on Gamespot where Bill Gates talks about how Halo 3 won't conflict with the release date of PS3, and the real release date has yet to be announced by Bungie. That seems like sure-fire proof to me that Bungie's next game is Halo 3.
...Unless Bungie secretly captured Bill Gates and Bill Gates is now part of their conspiracy and plan for World Domination...

If you just search around on the internet you can find some stuff on Halo 3. Although I don't have any idea if it is all fake, some of the stuff looks pretty real.
Go to the following: http://www.theultrageeks.com/blog/files/Azrael_halo3cover.jpg
That looks like a pretty real and sweat cover for Halo 3. Although many of the stuff out there is speculation and rumors I'm almost 100% positive that Bungie's next game is Halo 3. It just wouldn't all make sense if it wasn't. Oh, if only Bungie could just tell us...............
