Don't know where the hell that came from, but after their shenanigans last time I don't want to hear shit from Bungie until they actually make the announcement. Teasers are just a kick in the face.

from bungie.net

 

[InFeXiOn]

I might have been excited if Halo 3 wasn't such a piece of shit.

WTB: Return of Halo:CE.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Probably a new map to buy for $5

</cynicism>

 

[mzkhadir]

rumors are saying ghost recon type game

I was thinking the same thing. At least they aren't going to tease us for another week like last time.

 

[Kabob]

They announced a while ago that they'd be adding new achievements and such, mayhaps this is it...

Exactly what I came here to post...

They already did that this week.

This is likely the announcement that was supposed to be a part of MS's E3 presentation but was pulled at the last second. The same 'superintendent' is being used.

 

[Kev]

So they're announcing their announcement?

 

[blurredvision]

It's 10:07....front page says "rebooting....".

EDIT: Teaser trailer is up, but it doesn't say what it is....downloading now....

 

[Queasy]

Its up - teaser trailer videos.

edit: I have no idea WTF that was.

 

[parsley007]

Anyone think it's an expansion for Halo 3 instead of a separate game?

 

[blurredvision]

Ya, looks like a Halo 3 expansion to me.

EDIT: It doesn't look like Halo, but it shows, "Halo 3......Prepare to drop".

EDIT2: My guess is that it is an expansion, only not centered around Master Chief, just taking place in the Halo 3 timeline and universe.

 

[R Nilla]

Interesting...

 

[Queasy]

ODST (Orbital Drop Shock Troopers) game expansion possibly? Though, it doesn't make sense for them to be dropping on a human city and causing destruction...

Ya, probably. ODST's were featured pretty prominently in the Halo books from what I remember.

 

[Kabob]

<-- totally confused!

Can't see the trailer from work...are we sure it's not that Halo Wars game or anything??

 

[mzkhadir]

If Bungie is blocked - Use this

There's already a ton of stuff out for Halo Wars so they wouldn't do a special announcement for it.

My guess is a tactical squad shooter starring the ODSTs and set sometime during the events of Halo 3.

 

[Queasy]

Joystiq has some hi-res stills and what looks to be a date of 01/06/09.

The following text is listed with the video on XBLM:

"High action and deep mystery await players in this new Halo 3 campaign experience. Prepare to drop!"

 

[Kabob]

I can't even imagine a Halo 3-based "tactical" shooter...

 

[Beev]

If it is just a Halo 3 expansion-esque product then I am immensely disappointed.

 

[Kabob]

Went and watched the trailer (with no sound)...dunno what I missed speech wise. The trailer didn't reveal much visually though.
