Well slap my ass and call me Elton John, this is some of the strangest news I've heard today. If you're too lazy to click the link basically there's a rumor going around that there is going to be some sort of Halo MMOFPS. The poster goes on to speculate that this has some connection to Peter Jackson's halo project but all the details I've ever heard about Jackson's project indicates thats its going to be a very casual pseudo-game experience, so that seems implausible. Still the idea itself seems like it could be true, what does Microsoft not have on its console? An MMO. What do MMO's make? Tons of greenbacks. Given the semi-autistic, fps-loving, trash talking, asshats that the 360 seems to attract, myself among them, a Halo MMOFPS seems like it could be the perfect in for Microsoft to the MMO market. Any thoughts?
A MMOFPS? Has that ever been done before? On a massive scale? I've heard of Huxley, which I think is supposed to be an MMOFPS, but I've never seen one. It would be fucking corny. I have Halo 3, and honestly I think that is enough. If Halo Wars is cool and a good game, then maybe I'll get it. But I play Halo for shooting bitches, not resource gathering.
I've always dreamed of an FPSMMO, I don't however know how it would be executed properly. Part of playing an MMO to me is building of character skills, FPS's being player skill based would create an interesting situation.
If we don't see Halo as the vehicle for that genre, I'm sure at some point we will see something else. Halo does provide the perfect world for conversion to persistence.

would be cool.
OMG, ASSHATS!!! i want me a couple of those.
There is already a Halo MMOFPS. It's called HAlo 3.
Although it would be very cool, an MMOFPS would be kinda milking the franchise. Pretty soon masterchief will be in your cereal bowl. :/
still waiting for halo strategy rpg
