Don't -blam!- with Kerser!

Does MMO mean lag? Does it mean subscription? Does it mean lots of bugs? Does it mean loss of fans? does it mean not as good as Halo?

I hope it is not an MMO. Only FPS with Matchmaking, like Halo.

Someone doesn't like variety lol. I personally don't care what it is, I will play it. I love MMO's, and I love action games. An FPS MMO would be amazing if done right. As far as lag, subs, loss of fans and not being as good as Halo, your wrong. World of Warcraft is the best selling game ever. EVER. And it is an MMO. It only lags if you have a -blam!- connection, has few bugs, and has more fans then any other game in the world.

World of Warcraft also has decades of development and polish, and isn't exactly server-intensive. An FPSMMO would absolutely have heavier network requirements.

I wouldn't say "decades" but you are right. But I believe if anybody could make it work, bungie could. MMO or not, I will be buying it :P. Bungie has shown me for years that I am not going to be in for disappointment.

It may not neccessarily be a MMO, just a large amount of people playing a FPS all at once. But I think they may be going back to the Original Halo idea, with MMO elements.

Halo CE was supposed to be an rts, don't get your hopes up.

I will agree with you there.

I remember an old quote from Bungie Studios. "Our goal is to revolutionize the gaming industry and gaming genres." Well, that wasn't the exact quote, but it captures the meaning.

I thought of that when I saw the most recent ViDoc. They were talking about how they never would have imagined Halo becoming so popular, and sticking with the genre for ten years. In a way, I believed they felt trapped by the success of Halo. They couldn't just abandon such a hugely popular franchise. There was a lot they could do with it. But once it got to the point where people were expecting a Halo game after each one, I wouldn't be surprised if they panicked a bit.

Bungie wants to be known for breaking the mold, and you absolutely cannot do that if every game you make is made from a mold taken off your own shelf. If you want to revolutionize the industry, you've got to take a risk. You've got to start from scratch. You've got to, as they put it so well, "go boldly to the stars. Per Audacia ad Astra.

If I were a game developing studio, which I am not (People can't be buildings and companies), and I felt I was far away from my goal of revolutionizing industries, I would take one of the biggest genres and turn it upside down.

Let's think of the genres today:

FPS
MMO
RTS
RPG
Sim
Action-adventure

Bungie did their thing with Myth in the RTS genre, and again with FPS with Halo. I wouldn't exactly consider RPG stagnant, with Fallout and Final Fantasy and Fable and many others.

Simulation games aren't exactly hugely popular. You've got a solid fan base, but the definition of simulation is so broad and undefined that it would be hard to revolutionize.

Action adventure games are kind of a loose genre, sometimes being used with terms like "shooter" or the such. There's a bit of room in this genre for work, but not as much as...

MMO. Let's face it. You hear MMO and you think WoW, or maybe LoL. You may think I'm just scapegoating here, but it's just like FPS. FPS = Halo for many people. The MMO genre would be a great environment for Bungie to work in.

This was initially shot down. David Aldridge, who gave the keynote, said that is was an "massively... awesome multiplayer action game". It hasn't been confirmed to be an MMO and when he stated "many of you have heard it's 'WoW in space' he denied these rumors be specifically stating "it's not", however most rumors and speculations have been leading to this.

As far as "losing fans" and "not as good as Halo", it looks like close-mindedness will hinder you from enjoying anything from Bungie that's Halo , which is a shame.

I also read a similar article. Where Bungie said their new IP would not be an MMO

Life Is A Gift, That's Why They Call It The Present.

OMG Not this again!
It was a joke! if you had watched the presentation you would have heard all the laughter as it was Bungie poking at all the rumors going around.
you see it says "massively multiplayer action game" dissect what that really means please uses those cells of yours.

Anything from Bungie i will love, unless it is not an FPS.

The cake is a pie

I think you people will find that urk disclaimed the MMO rumour in one of his updates. He didn't deny it, he just said that the guys 'not WoW in space' thing was supposed to be a joke. So tbh we don't know, but there's rumours everywhere about this destiny game.

They didn't tell us what it was it could have been anything. Frankie gets scared easy incase you didn't know.

Been here 6 years, been blacklisted 6 times, that's why I'm not Mythic.

Has this actually been confirmed? Because I'm pretty sure it hasn't been, meaning this is quite possibly not true.
