Microsoft and Bungie announced the next Halo game right after showing Halo ODST. The next game is called Halo Reach, which we heard was in the works last week. We only saw a quick little teaser showing the planet Reach blowing up.
If you didn't read the first book in the Halo novel series, the Planet Reach is a human military planet where the SPARTAN II's were trained. The Covenant eventually find the planet, and like the rest of the human colonies, destroy the planet. The events of the original Halo actually take place moments after the the planet Reach is attacked.
Halo Reach will be out Fall 2010 and Halo ODST is going to include a multiplayer invitation for Halo Reach. Sounds like Halo Reach will be a whole new expereince.

Could this be the RSV-ish Halo game? I hope so.
But here is the thing...
What the fuck was the point of Bungie leaving Microsoft almost two years ago again?
Seriously... Remember when they said they were becoming independent to work on new IPs and shit? And what have they done since leaving Microsoft? Halo... and more Halo.
I knew they were pretty much going to remain exclusive to Microsoft sort of the way Insomniac is to Sony, but jesus christ, I'm tired of Halo. Bungie needs to do something new.
Also, I'm kind of digging the slightly more sans serif Halo font.
I relived to see that Bungie will keep looking out for their baby. I thought someone else lacking Bungie's attention to detail would take over. I'm glad to see they're still involved.
Although I hope they expand upon and evolve their creation. I know they can do it. its just hard to move out of your comfort zone when millions of fans have certain expectations.
