Bungie Announcement November 19th 2007

Writing in its weekly update, Bungie's Luke Smith said:

"On Monday (November 19) folks are definitely going to want to check Bungie.net and keep faces pressed to their monitors like children breathing on school bus windows in November, because there will be news. Oh yes, there will be news."

he he... just kidding kids!

You may be laughing, but I can see this happening. Sony has all of that PS2 money to use on acquiring studios like Bungie and getting Halo ported to PS3.

If Halo doesnt happen due to licensing issues. Bungie will go foward and create Marathon exclusively for PS3. Marathon should and will have the Halo engine so Sony snubs Micro$hit once again for their victory.

Ahahahahahahha Droids have dreams of Xbox games

[AznSniper]

Halo 3 map pack. Nuff said.

[AznSniper]

w00t I called it

[Bill Gates]

I hope both of you are WRONG. I don't don't that green turd colored, goofy helmet wearing Master quif coming anywhere near the PS3.

[Douchebaggery]

You would probably wet your panties is Master Chief decided to play beyond.

[Panthers]

I wouildnt mind. I wouldnt play online, but I really want to beat the single player.

Halo® 3 players will be able to enjoy three all new multiplayer maps on December 11 as part of the Heroic Map Pack, the first in a series of downloadable content from Bungie Studios to come via Xbox LIVE®.

Available for 800 Microsoft Points exclusively on Xbox LIVE Marketplace, each map presents a totally different play style.

* The symmetrical valley of Standoff, with its entrenched bases and fields of boulders is ideal for mid-sized objective and Slayer game types.

* The vast, labyrinthine passages of the Rat's Nest bring something completely new to the multiplayer experience: an indoor vehicle paradise. Strongly influenced by the Campaign mode, this map is ideal for big team battles.

* Foundry is the ultimate Forge map. Players can edit every single object in this voluminous industrial warehouse, placing stairways, walls, bridges, and tunnels to create an entirely new play space and build almost any kind of map imaginable.

All three maps will become available for free download via Xbox LIVE Marketplace in Spring 2008, just prior to the next wave of new Halo 3 multiplayer maps.

We'll have more information on the Heroic Map Pack, including how to get the pack for those who haven't downloaded content before, as the release date nears.

Edit..Link was wrong: http://www.xbox.com/en-US/g...

@Jack Who....K1ss my @ss. I was correct.

@games4fun....map packs equal more money for the company at a minimal amount of expense to them. OFCOURSE they will continue to milk Halo3 via map packs. They can still devote 80% or more of their resources for new games and still churn out a new map pack now and then. Plus...I am sure they had map packs as part of their agreement with MS.

[jack who]

wrong try again.

[games4fun]

why would bunjie after finally deciding to go independent and do what they want and have some freedom to create new ip's decide that thier big announcement will be how they will continue making more map paks.
It is also very sad for a developer if that is their big announcement, that they are microsofts b$thes and will make more maps and arent doing anything else except for halo add-ons as a gaming company. I would kill myself if i was a developer at bunjie and all we were stuck doing now till the end of time was map packs and halo games.

[kingfury]

Micro$oft is too stupid to charge people real money so they issue out "points". What a dumbass company.

[jack who]

so wat bout ps3 n wii that does the same?

the dumb one here is you..

[wAtdaFck]

PSN uses REAL money.

'turd

[ThisIsWaiting]

they dont care what you spend them on really. You've already given them your money as soon as you buy a points card or buy more points online.

Its pretty ingenious really. They have your 20+ dollars ... and its just sitting there collecting interest in a bank account ... while you have your 1600+ points sitting there, waiting to be used.

[jack who]

new game for the framboyz to hate on wohrrrr

[Nameless]

Halo wont go to the Playstation StupidGanja stop dreaming. Microsoft owns Halo Bungie gave that up to split & now Bungie has no say in wether or not Halo goes multi platform because they lost & gave up that right.

[mesh1]

when ever any dev mak eanoucements trolls on this site start delidding their minds by saying its an exclusive fo rthe ps3 or something about the ps3 caugh remeber capcoms announcement god sony trolls need to laugh off and crawl back into that leaking vagina they came from or dark hole what eve ru call it

[Silver Bull3t]

a new IP??????

They should just change their studio name to HALO-Pimps already...

[games4fun]

it would be nice to see them make a new game ip, any new ip for that matter they used to make new game ip's all the time now they seem stuck in a rut.

[Silver Bull3t]

I bet their devs are completely sick of the HALO universe, for now. That's probably why they lost so many after HALO3 dropped.

I'm not a HALO hater, it'd just be nice to see them do something different for the 360.

Are they supposed to be responsible for HALO WARS or is that being developed by a different studio?

[kingfury]

Bungie will be able to do things on PS3 that are not capable on shietbox360.

[PS3 Limps on and on]

So we won't have to wait long. Whatever it is.

[Nameless]

The news is the new maps

[razer]

I am personally not impressed.. I've already shelved Halo 3 for CoD4 MP.

[nobizlikesnowbiz]

Same here.

Put down the BR and picked up the G36.

[Panthers]

I just saw that bungie made Oni. I like that game. It was my first PS2 game. I hope this announcement is a new game. Halo is getting old.

[Spike47]

halo4 or another new game for the 360 ASWELL AS FOR THE PS3 ........

then you could just imagine the fanboy response.

the comments on the page would reach 300!!!

[Spike47]

realistic,

anybody that has high hopes for halo on ps3 is certainly dreaming.

MS would'nt let it happen.

[BigKev45]

It's the new maps, duh!!!!!!!

[mesh1]

o9k ok wait wait trolls trolls ill repeat it for u its the new halo 3 map ok u get it now ok good go back trolling.

[Shaka2K6]

PS3 exclusive.

[iceice123]

Wouldn't be able to handle what Bungie would want to do.

[Kenshin_BATT0USAI]

360 and ps3 have same amount of RAM, only problem is that ps3 has two sticks instead of one stick like the 360 and that the ps3s OS requires more RAM.

[Raptors]

All bungie needs to do is remake lockout and Ivory Tower for Halo 3. My goodness that would make me happy.

[Eamon]

BLOOD GULCH NEXT-GEN FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
