New Halo game confirmed Edit: was a hoax
lumberjack | 10:56 PM on 10.19.2007 22 comments


On the recent 1up yours podcast it was confirmed that Mark Mcdonald was leaving Ziff Davis. He also confirmed that he was moving to Austin to work with BIOWARE ON THE NEW HALO RPG!!!! Holy fucking shit
this is huge news. They also said the title was called Halo Origins volume 1: The Forerunner chronicles. He also made sure to mention that he was only working on the single player aspect of the game. This seems to open up a whole can of worms in terms of EA and Microsoft's relationship, if Microsoft says it's ok for EA to make the next halo maybe they made sure the rest of the mass effect trilogy will stay xbox exclusive. Who knows what else this could mean. All I know is halo RPG made by bioware makes my shorts moist.

Edit: Well I'm dumb 86 minutes into the podcast Mcdonald says it was a joke and the rest of the 1up crew call him a douche. Looks like I suck the big dick of disgrace.

OMG!!! I just listened to the podcast...

WTF was this guy talking about a press release though...I didn't hear shit!

Oh well, please don't eff it up...I'll wait and see how Mass Effect goes first.

Halo RPG? How would that even work? Here's a text-based example;

Master Chief attacks grunt for 5 damage!
Grunt dies!
Master Chief melees Jackal!
Jackal dies!

Exciting stuff.
lumberjack's Destructoid Blog
Thats actually a straw.

Halo RPG? WTF? I am a huge halo fan boy, and curious about the upcoming RTS Halo Wars. This just sounds like a huge disappointment. I can see the hype already... "One chief to rule them all"
lumberjack's Destructoid Blog
I guess I should clarify since it's Halo orgins who says it has to have master chief.
bottled dark's Destructoid Blog
my master chief is level 86 already.
SenorCalavera's Destructoid Blog
I'm gonna have to go with lumberjack on this one in that it doesn't have to be master chief. Could be a whole army of spartans.

@electro lemon
Yeah man I know what your talking about. Halo RPG sounds retarded.
GuitarAtomik's Destructoid Blog
This could be potentially awesome. Even more so if Bioware is involved.

There's plenty of mythology from halo that could be used for this game. Keep in mind that Spartans were originally supposed to work as squads not lone one man armies. Assuming they eveen use spartans in this game.

Oh man, you're serious. Here I thought you were doing this for the lulz. But, um ya, I gotta agree with everyone who says this sounds stupid. The main reason I play Halo is to shoot stuff and this kinda defeats the point of that.
CreamyGoodness7's Destructoid Blog
err This isn't a joke? Even as a halo fan I wouldn't touch this one with a forty foot pole.
lumberjack's Destructoid Blog
HAHA jokes on me 84 minutes in he says its a joke.
BFeld13's Destructoid Blog
Wow, edit is needed
Necros's Destructoid Blog
I'd say give Bioware the benefit of the doubt. I remember Penny Arcade mentioning them as one of the two companies they'd pick to take over the Halo franchise, but only if MS was ready to make Halo as epic as the commercials tried to make it seem. (I forgot the other company.) This could be interesting.

Also, it's good to finally hear something about Peter Jackson's Halo project. I was starting to think it was vaporware.
Necros's Destructoid Blog
Dur, missed the comment that said it was a joke. We still need to hear more about Peter Jackson's Halo project, though.
whiteboy0869's Destructoid Blog
Yea, I definitely missed the fucking post about it being a hoax. I heard it all right, after doing a fucking blog about it! Nah, I'm just kidding. It wasn't your fault
ConsFEARacy's Destructoid Blog
Fail.

Something was up when he was talking about a press release and there never was one...
