Rain, and Jazz.
Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

I think that this is pointing more towards mmo. The job is an "economy designer" which to me implies designing an entire in game economy like that found in an mmo. Plus Bungie has confirmed that it is an action mmo. (article on it here)

Just to add my speculation, I think it will be a cross platform mmo between the 360 and PS3 which would be ridiculously ambitious and that is what Bungie keeps saying is how ambitious their next project is.


That was attempted, and failed, but in theory it could work... Although how well it does will depend on it's polish and amount of bugs.

New Monarchy?:

Motion Capture 1
Motion Capture 2


Here's my theory on Bungies new game:

I think it will be a mix of ODST, RDRedemption MP, classic Halo and MMORPG gameplay:

There will be a campaign mode where you can play single missions alone and there will be an open world mode, were you can form groups/go search for missions (ODST like) in classic Halo style (these can be played in the campaign mode later).
There also will be signs/NPCs (RDR, MMORPG) where you can play normal Slayer, objective gametypes against other groups/people or Firefight/bandit hideout game types.

You'll fight hostile enemies like in standard MMOs and collect loot/money to get new stuff for your character, which will make your character better and more badass looking.
But this won't have any effect in PvP matches, where you'll have to pick up weapons and have a standard weapon at the beginning and your armour is only cosmetic as it is in Reach.

There could also be daily/weekly challenges. The four factions will determine in which team you are when you play PvP game types and there will be a base for each faction. In the open world you can attack people of the other factions like in RDR/MMORPGs.

The open world will be relatively small at the beginning but with the map editor Grognok people will be able to create new areas and form the world to their imagination. Oh, and of course this will be an FPS game and will include also include stuff like theatre and online stats and stuff, which fit the approach of Bungie to mobile devices / social platform stuff.
The idea of XBOX 360/PS3 cross gameplay is very interesting.

This is what I vaguely expect from the new game of bungie

sometimes i wonder why we are wasting our time trying to figure what the new game is when we could just wait.

And if Bungie is lurking and see some of our ideas they may implement them if it jives with what they want ;]

Guys, if you have ideas post them now. By the end of the month, B.NET will become read only.

How did you get that idea ?

So the speculation is going rogue in a month :P

P.S. any thoughts on the maps I found earlier on ?

I agree with you Swim Master good read. Bungie has figured it out. They are in control of their own work - that makes them so much better, their games will be that much better. Just look at bungie foundation and aerospace. They care, they can now do much more with their community.

Looking into that. Very detailed good stuff ^_^

I hadn't even noticed the "guard" in the motion capture scene, other then that most of what's on the new update is stuff I've seen on here.

About the motion capture thing..
People loved Avatar (the movie) and LA Noire's motion capture. If Bungie can create full-body motion capture cutscenes in video games, they have revolutionized genres again.

I actually would enjoy it if the game were to encompass some MMO features as well as a plot-driven story. It would be awesome if the world were always there, constantly evolving, and if it were to evolve by means of the community. If the basic plot were a type of "readying system" (to teach the players how the universe works and any terminology that is associated with it) and then everything afterwards were an MMO-type game that was community built, then the universe would be both Bungie's and the community's universe. This was hinted to in the ViDoc at least once (drawing a blank on who said it, though.)

I was playing through the level The Package in Reach and I noticed in the cutscene where Noble Team enters Halsey's lab you can see the Osiris symbol near the bottom right corner of the screen.

That's way cool! Yea... they have been hiding this stuff it seems like forever. This game has been in plan for a while... which means less flaw and going to be great!

I checked it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEXQZGnhLoY

Skip to 2:23 and pause.

There are two Osiris symbols AND a New Monarchy symbol. Who knows how much Destiny related secrets they shoved into ODST and Reach? People need to keep searching. Amazing find.

I'm hoping the game is similar to prey 2, but with multiplayer.
