Bungie Teases Next Halo Project in New Video

By Chris Faylor, Aug 12, 2008 8:02am PDT While publisher Microsoft may not be ready to unveil Bungie's next Halo-related project, that hasn't stopped the studio from hinting at its current work, this time in the form of a video acceptance speech for EDGE's Interactive Innovation Award.

Narrated by Bungie's Luke Smith, the video looks to be set in a Halo 3 (360) multiplayer map filled with AI bots, a feature the game currently doesn't support, and appears to show a full-fledged map creator at the end--suggesting that Halo 3 may be receiving additional features and functionality, most likely as downloadable content.

"Even though in Halo 3 you finished the fight, that doesn't necessarily mean that the ride's over," noted Smith. "Wait a second, there is no way we're showing this yet." [videofeature]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZCIdPfQqb8 [img]/extras/faylor/bungietease_1.jpg[/img][/videofeature]

I don't think they'll release a Halo4, but I do think they will push a major 'service pack' for Halo3 to keep it up to date. A full fledged in game level editor and other enhancements make sens to me, this can only end in greatness.

It probably is a map editor. In a Bungie.net post a couple of weeks ago, one of the devs mentioned a "major overhaul in Halo 3 multiplayer," that was forthcoming.

About fucking time.

What I hate about all these console shooters is no bots.. it's beyond stupid being limited to playing shitty splitscreen with a few players max.

Finally a reason to keep playing these after you've beaten/bored of the campaigns a thouand times and have no broadband.

Hopefully more console shooter devs emulate this. If I couldn't play CS:S bots I would have never bought it.

They have enough problems with the player base being fractured between those who have an HDD with DLC, and those who do not. They won't be able to push a "required" DLC service pack that would add these features upfront, and they have already iterated many changes to the matchmaking experience coming this fall that don't explicitly relate to new content.
