Bungie's New Game Is.....Halo 3?
Toneman | 9:10 AM on 09.25.2008 31 comments




Bungie today released a teaser for one of their projects. The video showed New Mombasa being hit by tons of Covenant drop pods. The camers flickers and and the text, "Halo 3, Prepare to drop," appears. Perhaps a Halo 3 expansion? Only Bungie knows.....

Edit: Upon more in depth viewing an discussion in IRC it appears as though this game may be and alternate campaign from Halo 3. Perhaps one where you play as ODST. If you study the video carefully you can see that this could be the scene in Halo 2 where the Covenant ship makes a jump while inside the city. During which ODST pods are being dropped, not Covenant.

Maybe it's announcing Halo 3 for the PC. Heh, what a let-down it would be if that were true.
covah's Destructoid Blog
Yeah I don't get it. It'd be nice if developers actually told you what they're making instead of this cryptic nonsense. If this is just another Halo game, I'm gonna be disappointed.
Clance's Destructoid Blog
Maybe it's Halo 3 for the PS3.....???
covah's Destructoid Blog
@Clance

watch the trailer... and you'll know that's completely wrong

anyways, people seem to think it's a Halo 3 expansion pack basically. I hope it's not, because I'm quite honestly done caring about Halo 3 now. I want it to be different. Be a game about the superintendent or whatever.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
people still play Halo 3?
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
Yes, because it's better than Turok.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Nah, it's not. I'd much rather play Turok than Halo anyday.
bunnyrabbit2's Destructoid Blog
Either way I will enjoy this. I have been slowly getting bored with Halo 3 apart from the odd match or two but with the new ranking stuff, new maps and now this, I will probably be playing it a lot again.
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
That's because you like bad games, BSD.
CareBear LG's Destructoid Blog
its just a new map pack.. =P
Teta's Destructoid Blog
it won´t be the Halo 3 for PC, since the ending shows you the 360 logo.
Too bad, this game would be awesome for me and my keyboard+mouse love.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
TF2 is a bad game, huh?

So is Uncharted & Left 4 Dead?
SilverDragon1979's Destructoid Blog
Yeah I saw this trailer and my reaction was just a long drawn out SIGH! Come on Bungie is the only thing you can work on right now Halo 3. Look at a studio like Insomniac who is about to release their 4th game on the PS3, a system that hasn't even been out as long as the XBOX360.
covah's Destructoid Blog
CONFIRMED: It's a Halo 3 campaign addition. Go on to the Marketplace under Halo 3, the trailer will be there and it says "new Halo 3 campaign experience" ...LAME

anyways, matlocking has found that during the trailer under "Bungie" it says "Supcondition date 1117" so naturally... think Novermber 17th for the release.
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
Yup, all bad.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Didn't Bungie LEAVE MS to do new projects and now they are doing more Halo3? That's what confuses me.
CrocBox's Destructoid Blog
Would seem the current idea in teh ircs is that it's a new campaign, where you play as an ODST.
covah's Destructoid Blog
@Blindsidedork
They didn't really leave Microsoft at all, people just blew it out of proportion. Yes, they're technically a private company now, but they're still in bed with Microsoft much like what Insomniac is to Sony. They just became private so they could own their own IPs instead of Microsoft owning them. And still, Microsoft owns the Halo IP.

but why they're still doing stuff with Halo is beyond me, they're becoming a one trick pony FAST.
Macca's Destructoid Blog
@Silverdragon, Insomniac may keep pumping out games, but they get nowhere near the sales the games made by Bungie get. Plus, Bungie have said they're working on 3 projects at the moment.
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
@Covah

I know they are still in bed. They said they are "leaving" MS but still wanted to make games for the 360 and that they wanted to do a NEW IP. And now they are doing an OLD IP.
CrocBox's Destructoid Blog
Wow my comment got posted late lol
Toneman's Destructoid Blog
More than likely Microsoft said, "Here's a fuckton of money, make more Halo for us." Which is fine with me, but I'm still more interested in the Non-Halo games they aren't showing us.
king3vbo's Destructoid Blog
Once again, BSD proves that he hates fun
fetusmilk's Destructoid Blog
wow here i am thinking halo3 was this hugely popular game, yet i never hear people talking about it anymore like they did with halo2 for 4 years. halo 3 must suck. oh wait, HALO does suck.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
New campaign might be a bit of dumb fun, I just wonder if they're going to try and include a new multiplayer game in it and topple Halo 3.
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
I was hoping for a new game. You disappoint me, Bungie.
covah's Destructoid Blog
They say a new experience. So Im gonna hope that this is the "gritty third person shooter" stuff they were talking about, because if it's just "oh you're not Master chief this time, you're just OSDT" that just screams Half Life: Opposing Force/Blue Shift
CrocBox's Destructoid Blog
It will probably be OF/BS. Same game but from a different perspective! It's totally new content! :D
vexed alex's Destructoid Blog
BSD says he wants gaming companies to do new things, yet he was splooging over Smash Brothers. Remember that game, guys? That broken fighter that sold solely on novelty?

And about Bungie doing "new" things, they're a giant company. They could be working on other stuff and doing this small expansion on the side. We don't really know. At least they haven't abandoned the game a year in like many other developers have.
Sharpless's Destructoid Blog
@Blindside
They are doing new IPs, but they are also doing Halo. They just haven't announced the new IP yet. And you'd be a fool to think that MS would let them entirely off the leash and never let them touch the Halo franchise again.

Also, why so defensive? Chill.
D-Nez's Destructoid Blog
vexed alex makes a good point. Most companies abandon their games a few months a couple patches after release. Bungie has a proven track record of supporting their titles.
I wish more companies did that instead of moving on to the next thing and forgetting that people paid upto $60 for a game.

Its cool to hate on Halo but you really could do a lot worse. Look at most console FPS out their now and you'll see they owe a lot to Halo/Bungie. I'm not saying Halo was original or re-invented the wheel. But you can't argue they had a lot of influnce on the way console FPS are designed and played. And when it comes to match making they're in a league of their owm. So yeah go on and hate on Halo and complain about Bungie not doing something new. Me, I'll be enjoying whatever they do next provided its as fun as Halo CE/3 and Bungie put the same amount of effort attention to detail they've done in the past.

 about me

My life beyond Destructoid mainly consists of games. I play pretty much everything. Right now I own a Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox 360, PSP, DS Lite, NES, and a PS3. Some of my favorite games include; King of Fighters XI, Dead or Alive 4, Halo 3, Zelda, Timesplitters, SSX 3, Shadow Of The Colossus, Rock Band, and of course Metal Gear Solid is tops. I also work part time at GameStop.

Besides gaming, I'm also a writer, editor, voice actor, and the community guy of KOtic Kitten Productions.
In addition to all that, I'm a prop modeller for New Era Games.
