Rumors abound
We would be remiss if we ignored this altogether, since it's potentially very big news. We want to stress, however, that it's nothing more than rumor at this point. A rather large thread is running on our forum, revolving around a potential deal between Bungie and Microsoft. If true (even in part), it means major shifts for Bungie (obviously), and for sites which cover Bungie (not quite so obviously). We'd like to stress that we have NO official word from Bungie on any of this (confirming or denying, or even acknowledging), and all of the actual details are being posted anonymously. I WILL say that the two posters are new to our forum (these are the first posts from those IP addresses), and that neither one is in a physical location known to be common for either Bungie or Microsoft. (Not that that means anything.) Hopefully, we'll hear one way or another soon, from someone with authority. (Louis Wu 18:30:20 UTC) (permalink)

Short Bungie Blurbs in NextGen
"Short Bungie Blurbs in NextGen" says Strykerin our forums. Here's the full quote from page 19:
Bungling Bungie:
The smarty-pants developer behind Halo and Oni planned to announce a third title at E3, but then changed its mind and opted not to. Still, Next Generation learned that the game would be a fantasy-based siege warfare title that featured both realtime and turn-based gameplay. The cool part? It will be built on the Halo engine.
Thanks Stryker. (Ding 11:05:57 UTC) (permalink)
