It should

be interesting, since Bungie says they won't show it now. Good find, but I wonder why this guys is running his mouth about the game but noone else can say a thing? I love bees site seems to be on a 24hr count down? If I'm reading right

asdf

Bungie.net had been on a countdown for days now.  Basically, Bungie had been planning to announce and show this new game during the E3 conference, but Microsoft (the confirmed publisher) cancelled the announcement for some reason.  So, Bungie regrouped and planned to show the new project today, but apparently last night Microsoft stepped in again and basically said, "no".

Now we have to wait.

Check here for the apology message and details.

Again I come back to.. friggin' Microsoft.

Ahhhh

I see I didn't know MS nailed them twice? Damn like someone else mentioned they didn't want to overshadow Gears2. I guess I can see the point but really since Bungie is seperate now they need to find a new publisher so they have more control. If the game or games were ready for show they only have the TGS later in the year for a large venue to show them off. Kind of pointless to show them then.

I

really doubt the reason Microsoft pulled the plug is that they didn't want to over shadow gear. I just dont buy that

Same here.

The more announcements/show stopping moments they have the better.  There's no reason why the should have cancelled at the last second.  Bungie actually went to E3 too.  Wonder if they were going to perhaps give a short speech as well before it was announced?

Either way, stupid move on MS's part.

Not wanting to overshadow Gears is a possibility

...Although it's not like this new Halo game would be out this year, right?

On the bright said, Halo's back! =)

Yeah man

I'm excited about new Halo stuff. Did you ever get into the novels? New one coming in Oct that should pick up where Ghosts of Onyx left off. I'm bummed they said Halo Wars will be in the spring though.

Check out Ghosts

when you can it's a great story. Fall of Reach is my favorite too. Nylund is a hell of a military/sci-fi writer and knows his stuff. He wrote that novel in 6-8 weeks. Something crazy like that.

Be planning on showing at ether its own event (get media together in one room then BANM another halo) or they didn't feel it was ready.
