Ah, look at the lonely people...

Sweeeet.

I'm sure Bungie knows what they're doing. Plus, I'd rather have them focus on Halo 3 rather than delay it at all making content for Halo 2.

I really can't wait for the Halo maps, I'm excited about those as much as Halo 3.

  • 12.13.2006 6:39 PM PDT

so... stupid question, but how do you get new maps?

  • 12.13.2006 6:41 PM PDT

I'm too old to have a signature.

Interesting that they're not going to be made by Bungie.

I'm sure the fanbois will do a backflip on this one.

Bye Shiska. Won't miss ya [/lies]] :-(
I hope to hell they don't get bought out by MS.
On another topic: First game suggestion: Freelancer 2.

  • 12.13.2006 6:42 PM PDT

The new "secret" halo game is being made by Peter Jackson's group, Wingnut Interactive. I don't think these guys have anything to do with that.

Freelancer 2, while potentially awesome, is probably Microsoft's IP. Certain Affinity isn't owned by MS, therefore they can't make it.

It's interesting to know that wing commander and freelancer shared a programmer, considering the gameplay is pretty similar. Freelancer is a great mix of wing commander and escape velocity.

I would not be surprised if Certain Affinity became the creator of the Halo expansion MP packs for all future Halo FPS games, that would allow Bungie to work exclusively on their campaigns and basic MP maps that come with the game (thus freeing up much needed time and money to make a kick *** core game)

and since CA is owned by a former Bungie crew member then it's safe to assume that IF CA gets said contracts that they will pass everything to Bungie for final approval, and no one would really be able to tell the difference, not by much anyway

Just another indication that development on Halo 3 is actually WRAPPING UP...if one of the lead guys feels like it's time to leave and start his own company, the process of developing Halo 3 must be nearing completion. I don't think a lead manager of a game would leave in mid development (even though he said that there's been a year transition time)...it's just hard to believe.

It has the word "Halo" in its title. That means an automatic campaign playthrough for me.

will this game have anything to do with Halo?

or Phoenix?

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

I agree, I mean...why make something that is already good better,

when you can improve on perfection.
