Woah, that came straight out of the blue for me. Wasn't expecting that one at all.

Well, I kinda suspected a new Halo franchise kinda-deal going down with Peter Jackson involved, but nothin like that.

Can't wait to see this new Halo trilogy. (yeah, it'll likely be a trilogy, everything is a freakin trilogy now, it's the cool thing to do nowadays)

Great News guys! Im going to be forking out a lot of money soon if they have a Collector's Edition of Halo 3!

  • 09.27.2006 4:07 PM PDT

Halo in the hands of Ensemble? Might actually make a decent console RTS! Sweet!

  • 09.27.2006 4:10 PM PDT

If I were perfect then this would be easy.

What other company love's their fans so much?

Halo: CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo: The Movie, and an unannounced Halo project.

This is especially great because of the fact that the Halo Universe is such a great piece of fiction with mystery, awe, and wonder.

I wanna go buy a Halo shirt now.

And to quick answer some questions that I found answer to:
-Halo Wars is an Xbox 360 EXCLUSIVE.
-Halo Wars Forum is here: http://forums.halowars.com/

Oh man...

Well now I understand now why the HaloGen mod for C&C Generals was shut down. M$ probably saw all the community support and anticipation that it was getting so they probably decided that they could make money off of doing the same thing (only crappier), and shutting down the "competition" (Halo fans making a great mod for the sole love of the Halo universe, while not taking a dime for themselves). If you aren't familiar with HaloGen, or you think I'm making this up, you can see the official statement from the mod team here: Old Halogen Site Good going M$, way to go.

I hate to be a downer guys, but it looks like the Ensemble guys are letting us down. You would think that if they really were true hardcore Halo fans then they would at least try to stay true to the look and feel of Bungie's vision of the Halo universe.

Those Elites? They looked like some kind of monster right out of Unreal Tournament 2005. In my opinion, Bungie's vision for the Elites in Halo displays them as, well, Elites. Elite in the sense that they are the ultimate killing machine. They are proficient in weaponry and tactics, they are a force to be feared, but at the same time they are a force to be respected. Their demeanor commands respect, they are not monsters, but fearsome, efficient soldiers. Ensemble's poor interpretation of this has them displayed as big bulky monsters, not the efficient soldiers that they are in the true Halo games.

While I have wanted to see Halo make an appearance in the RTS genre ever since it was released, I fear for this. Please don't ruin the Halo name Ensemble. Please don't disappoint me.

As for Peter Jackson's new deal with Bungie, that sounds interesting, but we'll have to wait and see untill we have more info.

I always thought how can Halo end at 3 when 7 is darker?

Don't damage my calm.

I'm hyped about Halo Wars, but I'm more hyped about the "other" Halo project Peter Jackson is working on (Not the Movie). It's supposed to be a different IP (Intellectual Property). I thought that the Halo Universe was the IP. So maybe they are talking about game type, FPS, RTS. So what other game "type" would make a good/great Halo game? The first thing that popped into my head was a Halo MMO. A Halo MMO would allow Peter Jackson and is team to do a HUGE story and add chapters/new missions to it via XBL. Think about it different classes of Marines, Different classes of Spartans? and being able to play as a Covenant Soldier, I pray for a Halo MMO!!
