Shacknews recently caught up with Bungie's Frank O'Connor at a media review event. Of course, the big story is that Shacknews played Halo 3 to their heart's content, but they're not allowed to talk about that (and no one is until September 23rd apparently). So, you're stuck with just an interview and you're going to like it! The interview focuses on the development of Halo 3 and what the next step is for Bungie. One of the more interesting moments in the interview is O'Connor's response to a question about Forge, Halo 3's map editing utility. When asked about how long it would take for people to create something that Bungie had never thought of, O'Connor responded that it had already happened 23 hours prior. It seems that a group of players had created a game of baseball using rocket launchers and gravity hammers (and people say baseball is boring). O'Connor also mentions that downloadable content should be a more streamlined proposition for Halo 3 thanks to Xbox Live Marketplace. Peter Jackson's Halo related project is briefly mentioned, but only long enough to note that it is "still on pace." Oh, and apparently some of the Bungie designers were recently driving one of the real life Warthogs in New Zealand, at one point crashing into a wall. We're keeping our fingers crossed that somebody got that on video.
