Halo: Chronicles

The Untitled Halo Project is an episodic project that was announced at Microsoft's Xbox show, X06. Peter Jackson, with his recently-formed Wingnut Interactive, will create a game set in the Halo universe, in partnership with Bungie Studios. The game is toted to be a 'new chapter' in the Halo story and is slated to feature a new way of playing games.

In UK Xbox 360 magazine Xbox World 360, it was speculated that the game will be more of an 'interactive movie', where some parts will be semi-playable, and certain decisions will lead to different outcomes that you then have to watch play out. They also stated in the same issue that they believed the game would retail for half the cost of a normal Xbox 360 title.

It was confirmed by Shane Kim at GDC 07 that the project was an episodic title. According to Microsoft, Bungie and Jackson are planning two episodic series for the Xbox 360. These games appear to be in a downloadable format. Microsoft went on to say that the game is now in the development phase. .

Project Forerunner
for those of you who read Game Informer magazine, you will already know this. but they had an article entitled "Halo 3 Dead?" it was about the production of Halo 3. they said that they were working on a game but they didnt say that it was halo 3. the simply called it "Forerunner" and after i read the article, it sounded a whole lot like a prequel!!! they said they had "spies" working for bungie and that it MIGHT be set in the past around the time of the forerunners. so if this is true, it looks like we have a while to wait to find out what happens at the ARC and what happens to MC. but dont just assume bungie is gay (even though it sounds like it). this is a genious move. they know that most of us haven't read the books and dont really plan to. they are going to make a game where it fully explains what happens in the beginning. and we will be preoccupied with that game because its going to be an awesome game whether MC is in it or not. but then they'll drop the true HALO 3 on us with something completely unexpected and wow us big time. this will be a very good time for microsoft and BIG ASS competition for the other systems!
