they could do halo 3 as the fall of reach.  going back to an earlier time in the war while there were still lots of other spartan II's around.

ive generally foudn that going from a chronological series into a prequel is usually a sign of deparation, its like "we wrapped the story up in the last installment, but we still think we can milk some more money out of the frachise" and prequels always suck

You might want to rethink that.

you DO smoke crack, injecting is a NO.

anyways... halo 3 i doubt it. Bungie with there millions in hands will problly start a new project after Halo2. Halo3 would just be pushin it to make some extra money, it would prolly be a shitty game and riun the franchise.

[lordvader129]

maybe theyll go the Id Software way, halo 3 will come out in 2015 and will be one of the most anticipated games in history, lol

What would be nice is if bungie did a remake of halo 1 and halo 2 all in one game for the xbox 2, and thus take advantage of the new systems horse power.  I for one would buy the game.

[iLLNESS]

yeah
it wont be halo3

itll be some new game running off the halo engine

xbox will turn into pc for fps...

heh
how many games run off the q3 engine?

I don't think that approach would work the same on a console as it does on the PC. Licensing out game engines doesnt happen very often on consoles, so I wouldn't expect to see it anytime soon.

due to the standardized hardware in the console industry creating a whole new game engine is just as easy/cheap as licensing a pre-existing

Creating a good engine, like halo 2's, is obviously not easy.  Just look at all the garbage engines developers have created for their shitty games.  Thus, if halo engine was available to other developers you would sure as hell see other developers for the xbox using it.

Xbox developers use the unreal engine for a number of games.  Creating a good engine still take much time and talent no matter if it's pc or console.

I think they will make a halo3 probably around the time ps3 comes out so xbox2 will be about a year old thats what i think anyways.

[MrBones]

It will be a game based on the Halo 2 engine.  That's what Bungie already said.  They said they have no intention of ruining the story.

Rethink what? Have you ever injected crack?

also realize that the amount of time effort and money put into an engine (halo) will be proportional to the amount of money it costs to license it

as for the unreal engine, i know nothing of what games use this engine, but i would check to see who the developers of the games using it are, i would wager that many or all of them are owned by the original developer of unreal
