MS to announce new Bungie game at X06?

Dean Takahashi, the San Jose Mercury News scribe who wrote The Xbox 360: Uncloaked, blogs about Halo 3 happenings and a new Bungie game that will supposedly be announced at Microsoft's X06 event in Barcelona later this month:

Halo 3, meanwhile, is well underway and just went through a script rewrite. The game is slated for 2007 still. Spong.com recently went out on a limb and talked about how Halo 3 will be the last game in the Halo series and that Microsoft is likely to announce a new non-Halo Bungie game at the X06 event in late September in Barcelona, Spain. Spong says various tidbits suggest that Halo 3 brings the story to its close. That makes sense since others have told me that Jason Jones is "not a sequel kind of guy" before. I wrote in my latest book that Jones toyed with other games such as a "castle siege" game and another game that involved Minotaurs, a subject of an early Bungie game, but both were canceled. Jones wound up returning to help finish Halo 2 while it was in midstream.

If the title ends up being Minotaur Castle Siege, Dean should win some sort of award. Keeping in mind this thing is supposed to be non-Halo related, what kind of game would you like to see from the gods at Bungie? X06 kicks off on September 25 by the way.

3. not to be a hater or anything but we already knew h3 was the end. is this an old inform? however im getting the point that the post is about a new game by bungie and thats it. calling them gods is way to drastic. the halo series is extremely successful but h1-2 didnt come without their flaws and im sure h3 will have some faults as well. im a halo fan but im still a perfectionist.

what game i would want bungie to make (however my opinion doesnt matter at all in this situation and only here for others to waste time reading) would have to be a strategy game. even better yet, a halo strat game. i didnt like how bfme2 played and would much like a game such as battlezone2 (1st 3rd person shooter strat) but bungie style. battlezone didnt flow too well but i loved the ability to be a unit and that u wernt just some entity that couldnt be killed.

12. Personally they should not work on any other game but halo 3 until it ships. and an entire script re write. i kinda doubt that with what frankie keeps posting. who knows.

Posted at 1:23AM on Sep 10th 2006 by infernoxxx 0 stars

13. with the super lame updates franky writes there is no telling what bungie is doing. as far as halo 3 is concerned i bet they just now got going on it, and it will be rushed just like halo and halo 2 was, they sit around for two years with their thumbs up their buts. then go
oh shit this has to be done 9 months

14. oh i almost forgot bungie has already said they have another team working on halo 2 vista
