What a surprise, eh? So much HALO news, it's just too much to take in. If you have no idea what I'm talking about then see here. The news pretty much blew me away and now I just can't wait for Spring 2007. Does this mean that Bungie have been ahead of schedule with HALO 3 and that we won't have a rushed sequel? I really do hope so.

They must be, considering the fact that they're also working on new HALO 2 Multiplayer Maps exclusive to Xbox 360. I do think its really quite clever that Bungie are keeping HALO fans appetites satisfied with these new maps whilst they eagerly await the arrival of HALO 3. This big news might be Bungie's way of trying to say, "Don't forget that little game called HALO 3, folks!" whilst Gears of War is getting all the attention. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case, since Gears of War is the most talked about game of this year. So, now I come to the big question, will HALO 3 redefine a genre the same way Gears of War did, or will we have just another sequel to a popular franchise?
