Halo 3

Hexus.gaming has received news Halo 3 is "finished and sitting at the mastering plant, awaiting the word to go" from a strategically inclined Microsoft. While IGN suggests the game will not be called Halo 3 but "Forerunner" which, it should be pointed out, would be cool as would a rumoured 4-player co-op. Oh yes. The closest an impatient world has come to fact, however, has been a hint from Microsoft's Vice President of Interactive Entertainment, Peter Moore:

"We haven't made any announcements regarding the Halo franchise. So Bungie is busy, they're an industrious bunch." But then more excitingly adds: "I think certainly this year, 2006, we might give you a peek at what Bungie is working on. I'm not going to give you any specific days, times or events."

CVG speculates an E3 preview for the game though I think Moore's remarks could just as easily reference a Vista-based PC-launch for Halo 2. Fun but not nearly the same. Qj.net suggests an alarming possibility: "Forerunner" may not be a sequel at all but a prequel game in line with the Halo novels and forthcoming feature film. This rumour at least seems to have been debunked by Bungie.
