July 25, 2002 Link to this post More MS Musing
GameSpot interviewed David Hufford, Xbox product manager, and one question stood out with regard to the Halo community: GS: There was some confusion regarding the "Halo online" announcement made at E3 2002. Is Bungie developing an Xbox Live version of Halo, or did the announcement pertain to an entirely new product?
DH: An entirely new product. The Halo guys are at work on the next version of Halo right now, and they'll be talking about it in the near future. It's a "ground up" approach. When we acquired Bungie a few years ago, they were very clear with us that their original vision for Halo was to bring it online, and now what they're going to do is take that initial vision but apply it to the next version of Halo, so it will be the product that they always wanted to deliver. So this would suggest that the 'online' version of Halo some folks have been talking about, doesn't exist. Whether Hufford's product is the same thing as John O'Rourke was talking about has yet to be confirmed... but it would seem so. Will Halo 2 ship before Halo for PC/Mac? Only time will tell... (First heads-up goes to AOPaul, via email, though Team Overkill was a close second.) (Louis Wu 09:22:52 UTC)
