Oh guys I was imagining this for the past week and how incredible it would be. I even thought up the leveling intricacies and classes and vehicles and everything and then I read your headline this morning and practically scream but people were sleeping so I was considerate enough to keep it to a yelp.
Hope they make this happen.

Has there ever been a MMOFPS? I know about MMORPG, maybe it'll be a mix of stuff.
BTW very nice screenshot Dustin, I saw it on your bnet profile.

Well I dig the idea. I dig knowing it would have to be on their servers and not players consoles all the more.
Since I don't play RPG's or MMORPG at all I've managed to stay away from the 'crack' trend. This would put a quick end to that...

So Neon Jebus you're not even considering Mass Effect? I've never really played RPG's before, but ME* will be my first one. Looks too good to pass up.
*I know I know, some of u don't consider ME a full-blown RPG game, but it's close ;)

My roommate is an RPG playing nut so he is all crazy about Mass Effect. I'll get to play it because he'll own it.
I try them out from time to time. I want to play Eternal Sonata for reasons I can't explain. I dug Parasite Eve back in the day.
As long as they aren't turn based I tend to be alright with them.

I just have to say that's the coolest Spartan armor I've ever seen (above). It's like a 'Sith Spartan' ;-)

Never going to happen.
Just think about it. Peter Jackson.
Working on an MMO.
Totally makes sense, right?
Should've hired some ex-blizzard employees for that job.

I'd have to guess 100 to 1 that Jackson is mostly just an overall big-name figurehead/director. As long as he presents ideas and pushes things forward, he's more or less doing what is required of him. It's not like he's programming the game and I'd have to guess that there are art directors and other people who guide all of that.
There's also Huxley as far as games like this idea go, which should still be coming out for 360 from what I remember.

Well remember when Halo 3 was released, everyone wanted the Hayabusa helmet.....everyone worked hard to get that!
Just how people who plays MMOs (like me) want's to always do, upgrade your armor, get a better weapon, and so on...
Now, I can't see halo fans questing for hundreds of hours, but I can see a dumbed down MMO, more battegrounds and bosses, doing very well....
This could be what overtakes WoW.... ;)

There's currently PlanetSide - and Tabula Rasa coming, too.
Oh, and don't forget all those Tribes games.

I seem to remember back when Halo was first shown for Apple Mac computers as a 3rd person shooter that Bungie were intending the world to be persistent. That battles would be happening all over a Halo between the Covenant and Marines and you could go anywhere you wanted on the Halo itself. Now I think that would be cool. Persist a whole Halo world and allow people to play either the Covenant or Marines and fight over control of the Halo. I remember thinking back then that I needed to get a Mac just for that game.

I've played Tabula Rasa for a few weeks and while I believe it lets you zoom into first person mode, I'd probably stuff it into the more traditional MMORPG frame.

hmm, i think i believe this would be true.
Especially if Microsoft would make us pay another 10 bucks a month for this. Seeing as how a shit load of halobots would pay the $10/month (id try it for a month), i wouldnt put it past microsoft.
prove me wrong microsoft, prove me wrong.

@vaeric I remember reading that years ago too, either in an article or interview somewhere. Maybe it was just speculation at the time, but I do recall thinking what a giant game Halo was going to be, in terms of environments and players battling it out online.

I heard this rumor right after Halo 2 dropped. Isn't this just unsubstantiated fluff that's been floating around the internet for the past 5 years?

Going anonymous for this one. Yup, it's true. I know my anonymous status makes my comment hard to believe, but I know someone who can confirm its veracity, and due to NDAs, I can't disclose the source.
You can choose to believe me or not, but for those of you who would look forward to this, you can rest easy. It's real. I don't know who's working on it, though, so I can't confirm developer pedigree.
