Bungie have been remaining
notoriously tight-lipped over any details
surrounding Halo 3, which means that any tidbits of information end up spreading like wildfire. Earlier this
month Engadget's interview with
Bill Gates revealed that Microsoft weren't planning to push Halo 3 out in time for the PS3 release, and
our interview with Peter Moore
backed this up.So what speculation is there to satisfy our thirst for second-guessing Bungie? Firstly, tipster m3mnoch writes in with an interesting interpretation of Bungie's last weekly update. The update focuses on the UI design process, throwing up some questions -- if their next project is Halo 3, why so urgent a need to input text, and why isn't multiplayer a given? m3mnoch's speculation: a Halo MMOFPS. Nice.
Another tipster, untitled, points us to this (quite frankly, absurd) news snippet: Halo 3 is ready at the mastering plant, simply awaiting the green light for launch. This contradicts everything we expect from Bungie, from intricate marketing schemes to their attention to detail (no software company has a product ready to ship months before the marketing has begun). Still, given the lack of real information to go on, snatching at straws is all we can do at this stage.
