Bungie new non-Halo game will be revealed at X06

Bungie will be announcing a brand new game at X06. Speaking to a Microsoft source close to the management of the entire Xbox 360 project today, Spong were told that, “As far as things stand, Halo 3 is the last game and it’s more than just ‘a thing to say’ which I know came as a surprise to everyone when it was announced. A new game from Bungie, not Halo 4, will be announced soon and pre-production has begun. So if you’re looking for what to expect at X06, you should be looking at that.”

Let’s hope Halo 3 will be last game in the current Halo Trilogy. Another Trilogy, a prequel referred to as Forerunners only so far (unofficial), will probably be announced in 2007.

This year’s Microsoft X06 event (it’s fifth year) will take place in Barcelona, Spain, on September 27th and 28th. Plans for the event include showing off new software and the latest accessories for the system, along with Xbox Live and Games For Windows announcements.

Chris Lewis, regional vice president of Xbox for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) said: “We have some exciting announcements to make and even more to show people. X06 will firmly place Xbox 360 as the console of the next generation.”

Earlier this week, Eric Nylund, the science fiction writer behind Halo: The Fall of Reach and the man currently employed on the script and plot for Gears of War drops the first mention of a new project for Microsoft Game Studios…

“What am I working on next? Well, if you took all the best parts of your favorite games, and smashed them together at light speed with your favorite movies and books, you’d get something close to this. It’s not announced yet, but as soon as Microsoft does, I can at least tell you the title, genre, and what particular thing makes this game goose-bump worthy. So stay tuned.”

The game that is going to be annouced is the mmofps.It is a prequal and really explains the galaxy before Human’s/covennants. It is going to consist of several maps that are presistant and in size about 300 miles example LA in True crime but the battle will be fought by the gamers. And the winning team wins alot of acheivments. Battles for maps could last for days-weeks-months.

This is the dumbest shit I have ever read. Bungie will NOT be announcing a new game before Halo 3 is even out and they need to be hyping it. ****ing think before you post something.

I wonder if this is the game that Bill Gates was talking about when he said that Halo 3 would be released the same time as the Playstation 3.

Also, I read that Gamestop says the Playstation 3 will not be arriving until March of 2007. I wonder if this is when Halo 3 will be arriving.

Halo 3 will be released in november along with the ps3 and that’s final. I don’t care what anybody thinks because that’s the way it’s gonna be. Microsoft needs a great heroic game to boost their console sales in order to combat the ps3 and that game is Halo 3. The game is already finished and if it were not to be released this november then it would be released next november. You don’t believe me? Wait until november and you’ll feel the truth wack you in the face like a sledge hammer.

In response 2 poster number 2, Halo 3 doesn’t need to be hyped at all. Just the name Halo gives it all the hype it needs. I really wish Halo3 isnt the last Halo game, and I refuse to believe that it will be.

Halo 3 will NOT be out in November. There is no reason to. Do you really think that Halo 3 would keep somebody who wants a PS3 and is prepared to spend $599 from buying it? That’s just dumb.

well comment 1 is really wrong. Forerunners hasnt even been putforward yet. comment 2 is wrong aswell. The games called Pimps at Sea. It is probably going to be released after Halo 3 and looks really good. Travelling from island to island pimp-smacking ho’s and stealing gold.

Halo 3 IS going to be released in november. I don’t care what you say or what you believe. It’s coming out in november and you will see. Once it does, you owe me an apology for saying otherwise.
