"Today a young man on acid realized that matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration; That we are all of one conscious mind experiencing itself subjectively; There is no such thing as death; Life is but a dream, and we're the imagination of ourselves! Now heres Tom with the weather..." - Bill Hicks

Since I know nothing about it yet, I'd have to say that the most exciting thing to me is that they've got a lot of freedom here. It doesn't have to be Halo-like. It doesn't even have to be an FPS. I'm really hoping they'll break from the formula (not that they don't do it well) and totally blindside us with something different, new, and fun.
I'll have to agree with L00. I'd imagine they'd stick with some kind of space theme, but I hope it won't be another action based FPS. Whatever it is they are working on I think the most important thing is nailing the controls. Halo has the best feel of any console based FPS I've ever played. If you don't nail the controls the game becomes labor... Kind of like the sluggish awkward control of Cole Phelps in L.A. Noire.
A fresh-non-recycled universe which i can throw myself into is my main interest, though.
