Bungie talks Mythic maps, confirms ODST will be final content offering

Next stop, Halo 4. Beep beep.

Please for the love of all things good in th world, let kill balls be something i can hit my friends with, or let it be something which covers a spot and kills you if you touch it.. no more ground maps ;p

Well you can only work on the same franchise for so long before you want to try something new. I'm curious to see what Bungie will bring us after ODST.

So that means they will end the support for Halo 3 and move on?

Clever wording! That means next up waking up the Chief!

I for one hope the Halo universe never ends - I equally hope George Lucas never gets his hands on it either.

"We're sure their bloated bank accounts are equally grateful." - Sounds a little jaded

I believe, in a capitalistic society (America), that great products reap the rewards and benefits. It could be worse - imagine if Carnival for Wii, which made some good money, starting going into sequels upon sequels.

Don't worry, it won't, because it's no where near the caliber as the product made by Bungie software. The people at Bungie make great software and they should equally reap the rewards of it (a.k.a. bloated bank accounts).

Want a bloated bank account, do something that makes people want to give you money instead, otherwise...

This is a budget title right? Isn't it supposed to be only 4-5 hours long?

Here is hoping that Bungie switches gears and revives their Marathon franchise. A current-gen Marathon game would be amazing. All hail Marathon!

I just can't get excited for Halo ODST, now Halo Wars looks fucking awesome.

Did they set a release date yet? I'm tired of having achievements I can't get. :(
Also the "Look both ways" achievement is ridiculously hard to get.

"Halo Wars" is totally untrodden ground for me and as I'm excited to play it, I'm also unsure as to what to expect. The closest I think I've come to RTS so far was Advance Wars on the Nintendo DS. I'm...I'm not a PC gamer.

"Halo 3: ODST" SOUNDS like a merging of Halo 3 with Call of Duty, and for that reason I can be a little more comfortable saying that I'm anticipating the game.

I don't believe them. I'm pretty sure they said something like "no more halo oriented games after Halo 3" then Halo Wars was announced and they were like, "that's it! that's the last one!", then ODST was announced....

Yea, Bungie never said they'd be ending the Halo Franchise. They just said that they were ending the Chief's tale (Which ODST/Halo Wars certainly does not break). I expect more Halo in the future from Bungie.

I for one love the SH#@ out of the Halo universe. I haven't really played it for about 2 months though. I switched over to COD4. Yeah, late to the party... I find the multiplayer in COD4 to be more balanced. There are a few reasons why and I hope bungie is listening. 1) Matchmaking has teamkilling OFF. I never understood why you are able to kill your own teammate in the first place. 2) No rushing for weapons. Customizing your class is the best thing ever. No longer can teammates get mad that you took a weapon they were going to grab. 3) balanced perks and weapons. I came in to COD4 over a year late and am kicking some high ranked ass. I wish I could say the same for Halo. Halo's matchmaking has been broken for awhile. You should never be able to kill a teammate. It's stupid and serves no purpose. If they would fix those 2 things... I would play both. PLEASE ELIMINATE TEAM KILLING. What a stupid concept. I think there is enough room for both franchises. I'm looking forward to HALO 4. I'm really missing Halo 3 and hope they keep the servers up for a LONG time. New maps, forge, Bungie.net, theater. It's an amazing game. It could be even more fun if a few things were fixed. Sorry for my rant. I love both. :)
