Anyone know what is the deal with Bungie's next game, supposedly an MMO(RPG), I think. I'm really into games like this and Bungie will answer my prays if they follow with this.

it's probably just something to keep you interested in halo because you will play it to see the updates or it's just a new game engine BUT there hiring for playstation and there are mysterious logos but there is no way bungie will tell us if it is a mmorpg TPS FPS or strategy

Nothing is known, other than the rumours about the (project?) name being Aerospace or Destiny.

And the MMO thing was shot down, because everybody seems to lack the capability to see MMO as just an type of game, instead of something always attached to a RPG.

My guess is that Bungies next game will be a MMOFPS, without a persistent "battle world" but a persistent HUB (main) world, with Battlefield/MAG like sized "maps" on which continuous battles will take place.
The real MMO (LOADS of people) will then occur on the non-violent HUB worlds, with the "maps" being limited to a given amount of players.

Anyways, however it turns out: the MMO is the next step the FPS genre should make to get out of the circle of mediocrity that it is in at the moment.

And maybe the next Bungie game won't be a MMO after all....there have also been rumours about a Marathon reboot for instance...

It's not named Aerospace. Bungie Aerospace was proven to be a company.

I agree that MMO is the next step FPS should go. But there aren't many MMOFPS because of the amount of data that needs to be transferred. Most people have internet connections with upload speed below one mbps. This is way too low to host a huge game. Of course there are always dedicated servers which are a must on games with over twenty players but they cost, alot. When those problems are solved, we will probably see a huge wave of MMOFPS games.

I see.
But anyways: thats why I talk about a "semi-MMOFPS".
Most people are capable of playing MMORPGs: they should also be able to run a HUB world in which you will find massive amounts of people, without any action going on. This part would be truely an MMO.
Action would then be a bit more traditional, but comes in the form of large scale battles. This part would be "just" a large scale shooter.
Think of it as BF/MAG mixed with WoW's Guild cities (or whatever they're called).

Exact science, is not an exact science.

Marathon would be very cool indeed, do Apple have any say in this?

Im txgrim4 (Grim, Grimmy, Grimsta), i have been playing xboxlive for 9 years, evr since day 1 of Halo:CE til now. I love H2, that and Halo 1 are my favs. Im a Halologist when it comes to the Bungie/Halo Universe. Ive also played Marathon Series, ONI, and Myth Series. I live in Texas, Play Football, and cant wait for Halo 4!

IT IS called "Destiny", dont tell me im wrong because im pretty darn sure that Destiny is thier next game. here is a link that shows many hints that we have spotted but not concluded and that bungie has for us.
