It wasn't the April issue of EGM, was it?

They are known for their April Fool's jokes.

ooo, nice, that COULD be april fools. its a pretty bizarre idea. id buy it tho. i wonder if the multiplayer would be just as fun as the originals. looks like h3 and cod4 have someone new stepping into the ring.

Is this actually a retail game. Because I would buy it, and I am sure many would. The only issue is how would MP work.

"were could they take it for a sequel?" The same place all Halo games sequels have been taken. Just a rehash of the original. Sure I love Halo as a game but the story? Pretty standard stuff.

having a ghost explode in 100's of pieces of lego would be funny to see.

This is the start of March, which means the current issue is the April issue. EGM is known for pulling this sort of stunt in the April issues. So between that, and the fact that, unless my memory fails me, Bungie flat-out stated that their next game wouldn't be Halo, my money is on this being EGM's latest attention grab^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H hoax.

Not to mention, the whole UI is from Traveler's Tales' Lego Star Wars games, and they're not on the development team?

If they would have placed TT as a developer, this would have had slightly more believability.

I just hope it's not real. I want to see Bungie do something that has nothing to do with Halo, or Lego for that matter.

if this ISNT their april fools joke this year.., you people have to realize its a lego game. everyone is saying MP this and that..., it prolly wont have one. having up to a 4 person mode or more on the screen via live co-op for the 3rd person lego make make more sense but having it switch in and out of 1st person according to the levels? the more that you think of this the more that you know.., this is a joke. has anyone received their april issue yet in the mail? I bet you if you look at every other article in there, theres not another one that could be the april fools joke. its sad too, because I was really happy for the two seconds before the X3F guys pointed out it was in the april issue. meh

I expect this to pop up on Bungie.net on April 1st as well.

I still say Sonic and Tails in Melee was a tad bit better than this one, just because they actually hid the 4 1 reference pretty good that time. But still, this one was really clever, despite the screenshots not being entirely believable.

Hey!! Wait a minute. I thought EGM was done putting pranks on their April issue!

Either way, Dan Hsu /pwned us.

I could see this selling just as great as the other Halo game. Plus it could bring in new people to Halo, so even though this is a joke I hope it does happen some day. Because I would buy it and I know other people would too.

April Fools?? it's a bit early isn't it? or is the lead time time on EGM really a month in advance?

If they ever wanted to completely destroy the Halo name this would be just about the best thing possible. The very idea makes me want to cry. Cruel joke, do not want!

I'm surprised that people fell for EGM's pranks again. As soon as I was done reading that it was in the new EGM, I remembered that it was going to be their April issue. I've learned by now not to trust something that sounds too good to be true in their April issues.

I knew it was April Fool's right away from the title. EGM are idiots when it comes to capitalization. A real Lego Halo would have been: LEGO Halo.

the best part about april fools jokes a month early? no one ever expects it.

Next year, i say EGM pushes to release the April issue December, that'll fuck EVERYONE up.
