New Halo game anytime in the near present?

XxSpix · Aug 2, 2008

When Halo 3 was released, those skilled enough to complete Halo 3 on legendary difficulty were saw an extended ending of the game after the credits. Numerous YouTube videos depict how, after the defeat of the Flood, series hero the Master Chief is left in space in half of the UNSC ship Forward Unto Dawn.
After a conversation with the AI Cortana, the genetically enhanced, perpetually armored Chief enters a hypersleep chamber. The cutscene camera switches to an exterior shot, which reveals the remnants of the Dawn entering orbit around a mystery planet(Onyx?). As the sun rises on the planet, music swells, and the screen fades to white, at which point the cutscene abruptly ends.
With that setup, many assumed that Bungie's next project would feature the Master Chief marooned on a strange planet, struggling for survival--a sort of off-world Far Cry. However, a source with knowledge of the studio's development slate told GameSpot a different story. She or he said that sometime this year, Bungie will announce a "darker, grittier" Halo game that doesn't feature the Master Chief at all.
According to the source, the new Halo game will be a spin-off that resembles "a cross between Ghost Recon and Gears of War." It will reportedly tell a "less cartoony" and "more bloody, violent, and grim" tale of a battle between UNSC forces and the pan-racial religious empire known as the Covenant.
The source says that the upcoming Halo game is a tactical shooter that will follow a squad of colonial marines or ODSTs engaged in "intense" fighting on the ground. Gameplay details were scant, other than the fact that it will reportedly let gamers play as an entire squad in co-op mode through the entire campaign. The exact number of co-op players has yet to be finalized, but it could be as high as eight. It is unclear if the new game is the same as the "Halo: Forerunner" project first rumored in 2006.
Microsoft had not yet responded to requests for comment as of press time.

Based on the strength of the source, this is almost certainly not bogus. And with Bungie's teaser last week, news about the game could arrive as soon as tomorrow's Microsoft press conference at the E3 Media & Business Summit.

you cant wait for the new game that hasn't been announced or probably will never exist to come out?

It is just hard to believe because Bungie left Microsoft. That leads me believe that they want to work on a non-Halo project that Microsoft then wouldn't have rights to. IMO

It was announced after E3 since Bungie "didn't make it". G4 has confirmed that they are working on 3 possible projects and Bungie is not telling any more information than that.
