I'm wondering just how long Halo 3 has been in development. I was just browsing through the Bungie History on this site and it reminded me of something.

Before Halo 2 was released a big-wig from Microsoft came out and said that the new version of X-Box was on it's way, and that Halo 3 was being developed right along with Halo 2. This would have been around March of 04. Bungie denied it, and Microsoft retracted the statement. But, maybe the guy was right and was just speaking out of turn.

Does anyone else think that maybe H3 really was in development then? And if so, aren't we looking forward to the most complete game we're going to see for a long time??

That would certainly quiet all those concerns about H3 being rushed.

It probably started a month after H2 came out. Why would Bungie pay employees to do nothing for months?

Schedonnardus asks,

When did work on Halo 3 actually begin?

Work on Halo 3 began immediately after Halo 2.

That's from the WWU right after the Halo 3 Announcement.

Who said it was July 7? They only said it was in 2007.

They said that they started on Halo 3 once Halo 2 came out but they probably had some people start working on it near the ending of production on Halo 2.

He is attempting to get by by assuming things. Its a good way to ease the minds of some out there that worry about when the game will come out because then they think there is a date that they can write off as a day off a year ahead of time.
