As a huge halo fan, you can imagine that bungie day was like crack to me, free bungie gamerpics and a theme and a free map for halo 3, it was great.

The thing hat got me the most intruiged was something in the Vidoc they did a few days before bungie day. At the start of this Vidoc, which is on xblm (for free ofcourse), one of the bungie staff members doing the video said, and i quote, "our independance has us striving to become a multi-game studio and the first thing that we're gonna anounce today....." and is then cut off by the other bungie staff member in the vidoc. Now this was obviously scripted, which means that A) they will slowly drop small hints untill they start to develop a new game, or more likely B) they have started development or are planning to start on a new game soon. This the leads me to believe that they will announce whatever game they are planning/developing at E3 judging by the timing of the vidoc.

Now, the question darting around my head at the moment is, What genre of game will it be? Im not a betting man, but if i was i would put my money on a FPS totaly unrelated to Halo, which would also rule out a Marathon remake as many of Halo's componants came from that. Or, a more unlikely but possible game, a prequal to halo (possibly squad-based), based on the Halo novel Contact Harvest where you play as Sgt. Johnson which will show the humans first contact with the covanent. Now the reason i think it will be a FPS is because the only Halo game that isnt a FPS is an RTS that is being developed by someone else, also, Halo:CE was origionaly an RTS but bungie then decided to make it a FPS.

Well, those are my thoughts, please tell me what you think the game will be, i would like to hear your opinion aswell?
