Bungie Hint At Halo 3 Expansion, Not New Game

Ripten:

"After receiving the Edge Award for Interactive Innovation, Halo 3 creators Bungie have thanked the publication via a highly entertaining video. In it there are hints towards a new Halo development, but not a new game as many have been suggesting."

I don't like Halo myself but Wish i had. Bungie is sure one very prestiged developer. I am very impressed how they keep supporting their fan. Wish all the developers have same ethics.

Dude. The new Halo game coming up is the worst kept secret. Everyone knows a Halo 4 is coming up seeing the end of Halo 3. It might not be called Halo 4 but its clear.

Just don't act if you are important or if you have important info. If you really had important info you wouldn't even say this actually.

I'm not talking about Halo 4 nor Halo Wars, there's more going on than that. But what would our great "I know all" Mart know about that... nothing to be honest.

You know nothing about me so shut it you little tit.

I am sure that it will be recieved well amongst the Halo community, but having played Halo 3 I don't see myself going back and playing an expansion. Judging by the end of that video and what all went down in it, I would say its a higher end map editor.

lol, this is what the internet is in a nutshell...

-Random News appears about anything.

-Person surfing the internet sees it

-Said person thinks..(I don`t Like it must share it with all)

-said person vanishes into the endless realm of the internet. *pouff*

As for the news at hand, it could be interesting, I would take more co-op missions or even a well done map editor any day.

To the people that feel the need to remind us that they don`t like halo..

Okay none of the people that got so many disagrees, insulted halo said it was overhyped a bad ect. Yet you would think they insult christ himself with the number of disagree they got.

They only said they are not a fan of the game i suppose that was their sin. So when did articles only become the fans of said game, at least wait till someone attacks the game then at least the disagrees make some sense.

Okaaaaay, when a PS3 game is discussed and I see any one of you guys come around and say 'I don't like it', I will gang up on you THE SAME DAMN WAY.

Notice that none of us insulted Halo. We just said that we're not fans of it. Does it give you the right to gang up on us as if we insulted the game or something? Just because you don't like something, doesn't mean you're not allowed to comment on articles.

What you did was just sickening. What a way of taking the internet so damn seriously. If we insulted the game, then your disagrees and comments would be justified. But we did nothing wrong AND YET you felt the need to gang up on us like a couple of bullies.

That's why I cannot stand some 360 fans. Heaven forbid someone says they're not into Gears or Halo, they're attacked to the point they're forced to say 'I LIKE IT, I LIKE IT!'. -.-

If you can't stand us, then i ask you again, What are you doing in here, saying that you don't like Halo?

This is a Xbox 360 thread. Every one knows you are a PS3 fan, that's why every one is ganging up on you. If you dont like it dont come to a Halo 3 thread saying you dont like the game. If you ask me, you're asking for it.

What? So what you're saying is, that if I was to see some news on the front page (like this one) to do with the 360, and comment on it, I'd be in the wrong because... I don't have a 360 or like the game? In fact, I'm not even allowed to express my opinion of the game? Ridiculous. People are allowed to comment on whatever they bloody well want to, and you have no right to tell them otherwise. You can either debate with them, or ignore them.

Let me ask you a better question: if you don't like this sort of thing happening, then what the hell are you doing leaving comments on a community-driven gaming news site?

Isn't the whole point of a forum to debate? If you leave a comment that is against public opinion it equals backlash, yes you have the right to leave the comment but don't expect people to ignore it. I guess everything is running smoothly here because things are so lively on the other hand...
On topic, as long as this new content comes out before Mercs 2 I'll be all over it!

@ 2.19

"Debate" That's the key word.

But when you have comments like this, where you got three people saying "i dont like the game" with out explaining why, then there is no debating to do. To me that is just plain trolling. Just my opinion.

On topic,

They should just say what it is, unless it is a new game. But all this hype for just some new content is just stupid. Anyway i love Halo, so i can't wait to see what Bungie got for us.

Okay, if you don't like PS3 fans coming on 360 threads, then don't come on PS3 threads. Most of you get mad when PS3 fans come on 360 threads but you do the same crap on PS3 threads.

It goes BOTH ways.

Don't be hypocrites.

4 - Whatever it is...
...it needs to not suck. Halo 3 was a groin injury. I can't play it anymore, it's just a crap game compared to what came before it.

All FPS games are laid to waste by Bioshock. I want better games, not the same game with a new number stamped to the right of the title.

Well when it comes to games like MGS4. Then the number is needed, but when the story is finished they should be a new title for the next game. Also how about if it the same game but better.

I say this fully knowing that I will get tons of disagrees by PS3 fans that will not take the time to understand my comment. So here we go...

So, do you not like God of War 1 and 2? Essentially it is the same game, but the story is what keeps it fresh. I actually loved God of War 1 and God of War 2 for the fact that God of War 2 felt like an extension of the 1st.....and I hope God of War 3 continues with the tradition. I appreciate games that feel like they were one big project but was split into one or two games because of how major they were. How are you defining better?

Better means better than the first one. Your example with GOW is not correct either as GOW1 and GOW2 is on the PS2. Halo 1 and Halo 3 are on different gen. I expected alot more from Halo 3 as the 1st was the best FPS i played.

Sitdown - 496 days 23 hours ago
4.4 - What more did you expect from Halo 3?
You do not feel that it was a natural progression from 1 to 3? Perhaps I just do not know what I should be expecting from companies....but I have enjoyed all 3 for what they were. My fear is that you are chasing that perfect high......my comparison would be this......not matter was Kobe or Lebron does.....they will never be Jordan....the time frame for Jordan was just right, and he helped advance the game...so pretty much everybody now will live in his shadow to a degree. I feel the same with Halo.....on a new console, it was one of the few games to pick up at launch...so you were sort of forced to love it. I remember picking it up at launch.....the timing was just right.....so from here, I am not sure if Halo 2, 3, 4, or so on will ever give you that feel you got from Halo 1.

cmrbe - 496 days 22 hours ago
4.5 - Yep
you are right but there are a few cases where the sequal is better then the original. I guess i expected too much from MS especially after seeing the original trailer of Halo 3. After 4 years of dev i expected much improve graphics and a better SP which i felt was just average. I loved Halo 1 in that it really got me caring about the characters and the situation they are in but for some reason that was lost in 2 and 3. I guess the story got too convouluted and too branched out that it lost its personal feel. I expected some crazy stuff in Halo3 but nothing did stand out for me. It just felt more of the same.

4.6 - Well see that is
where my debate lies. When the xbox launched I completed Halo 1 with my brother......but when 2 and 3 came out, we were unable to play the game together....so I have been pondering if I did not complete 2 and 3 because I was unable to play with my brother.......or because the story did nothing for me. Haha, in Halo 3 I probably got no more than 20 minutes into the game. Now that I think........Halo was something special. Halo 2 I sort of just blew off......and Halo 3 has been fun to frag people when I take a break from Call of Duty 4.

Halo will always be remebed as the game that brought FPS into mainstream console gaming. I remember the opening scenes. The Convents really ticked me off that i felt like killing all of them off. I never felt like that before playing a FPS.

As a shooter from what i played of bioshock it is more melee and powers than shooting, it is unique. I wouldn't want other fps to imitate bioshock, better is subjective, cod4 is one of the better fps to me. Goty 2007 would probably think halo 3 is the better game, i disagree.

@sitdown i understand where you going with it and agree to an extent, but it is hardly even essentially the same game(that to me means same enemies/same levels, same bosses), i'll explain it better. It has the same gameplay style but tells a different chapter in kratos's life/battles ie the story.

However i do agree, about looking forward to part 3, i wouldn't mind them doing a prequel or 2 afterward, hopefully we will see more at tgs on it.

5 - I'd play another Halo adventure.
Needs to be single player. I've got fed up of Halo series primarily being online its a far more deeper series than similar looking cyborgs screaming and shooting each other. I'd buy an decent SP expansion (not DLC, but on disk) with the feeling of exploration like in 'Combat Evolved' without a thought.

6 - I thought
they departed from M$ to be independent and so that they can work with something other than Halo, right? but what we've been hearing to this point are still about Halo! M$ own the rights for Halo, so why don't they just come up with a new IP? what are they afraid of? I honestly think even with a new IP, people will still buy it! They are Bungie and they have among the largest fanbase on earth! they managed to buy their independence from M$ so, I think money is not a problem for them. or are they simply only have Halo? come on now Bungie!

I like Halo but I will not get a game just because Bungie made it. I don't know of anything else that Bungie has made. Halo2 and xbox live was a great combination for each other at that time. If I like the way something plays and looks I'll buy it even if you made it.

6.2 - to respond to your questions badz
when bungie split with microsoft, there were some deals made

im too lazy to look for any link, but i think one of the requirements that bungie needs to fulfill include making another halo game in the main franchise-other parts of the deal probably include being exclusive to the xbox and offering microsoft the chance to publish all of their new games for at least 5 years, but probably even more, and they probably have to help different devs who are working on halo games (ensemble, wingnut) as well as the halo novels and (if it ever comes out) movie

those last parts of the deal are guesses, but i think those make sense

so even though bungie (presumably) want to make new games and create new IPs, they still have some promises to keep with microsoft regarding halo, so those new games might have to wait a few years...

ok, that explained things! independence sure are too expensive for them after all, ha! bubbles for you

@funky, look at valve! they made HL series and lots of people are ready to buy L4D made by them even with valve using the old source engine for that game which will not make it look any better than HL2 ep2. for me, L4D is simply a CS with zombie mods!

I indeed dont understand what's the point of leaving MS , apprently for freedom , if all you're doing is teasing at another halo project .

of course i'm biased since i dont like the franchise , and would prefer to see the Bungie of the pc/mac era a works , but come on .... even if you do an halo project on the side , please let people knows that you got something else planned than halo 3.5 or 4....

as i said in a comment above, bungie has some contracts to fulfill as part of the deal that separated them from microsoft

so even though they may want to work on new games, they're obligated to make halo for now

but im sure we will have some news on games soon-i know i have read several times that bungie has many games to be announced, and only one os halo related (something like that-you can google it if you desperately want to know)

also: you say "halo game on the side," but i think it is much more likely that a halo project would be their main game (for now) and that any other games would be side projects...
