What do you guys think Bungie's next project will be? What type of game/s would you like to see Bungie make? Would you be satisfied if Halo 2 was the end of the series?
Eagle, I believe there will definitely be the need for a Halo 3 for uniformity reasons. A lot of good things have ended on the third part of a series. One way to kind of figure that there needs to be a Halo 3 would be to figure out how many levels there will be in Halo 2, and what will be involved plot wise. IMO, and guesstimate, is there will be 10 levels just like Halo, in Halo 2. And while I was putting together what needed to happen in Halo 2 to 1st, transition from Halo to Halo 2, and 2nd, for MC to just plain save the Human race, I don't think it can happen WITHIN 10 levels, without having significant plot holes and/or to much summary. 'Halo 3 : Strike-Counterstrike' (just messing around with this) will come out with the 2nd Xbox.
Another belief of mine. I think Halo 3 will be based off the same infrastructure as Halo 2, i.e. the reason Halo 2 took so long. I think that Halo 2 kept being delayed because Bungie/MS wanted a way they could efficiently create Halo 3, thus allowing Bungie to create another game, and only needing a small crew to create Halo 3. It could be that Halo 3 is more of a sequel to Halo 2, more then Halo 2 is a sequel to Halo.
One thing I'm hoping for is, I WANT Halo 2 to be a sequel, and not a new game. I keep getting the feeling that there will be to much introduction, and secrets and questions rather then summary. Thus another reason they need Halo 3. Basically, I don't want this to be another Matrix Trilogy. A lot of questions and action with the 2nd episode, but nothing really "resolved" in the third.
