E3 2008: Bungie Announcement Delayed By Publisher
E3 2008: Bungie Announcement Delayed By Publisher
Written Wednesday, July 16, 2008 by Jason Debelyak

It's with a heavy heart as I'm reporting this piece of news to you. Just a little bit ago, we received word that the highly anticipated announcement from Bungie has been delayed by the publisher. Fans were teased over the past couple days at Bungie.net with countdowns and other clues that an announcement was coming on Wednesday at E3. That all ended when Harold Ryan, President of Bungie LLC, posted this message on Bungie's website.

As we all know, Microsoft and Bungie split ways over the past year, but ties are still extremely strong between the two, and there were stipulations within the split. So apparently Microsoft are the ones behind the delay of the announcement, it would seem. According to Bungie, they'll reveal the big announcement when the time is right, but after all this speculation and hype, it's a real shame that they're letting all of their fans down. Hopefully we'll find out more at one of the other big expositions coming up, and when we find out, you guys will be the first to know.

@ #2, lol a Halo MMO. I wouldn't be surprised. I would like to see a Halo MMO, something between the events of Halo 3 and Marathon, or marathon remake.

I think this is a marketing ploy. There should be an announcement soon.

Maybe Blizzard & Bungie are joining forces and the announcement that was scheduled for 06:06:06 AM PST will still happen and it will be about Diablo 3. lol

I want a new Marathon full game. Now Bungie just sounds like they did with number 2.

I wouldn't be suprised if Microsoft is making them postpone it just to make sure nothing has the chance to rival with Gear of War 2. So I'm betting its some new FPS or something close.

oh well
why does everybody think that if you like halo then your a fanboy, cant we just like a game cause we just happen to like it?

There's alot of speculation over at the Bungie.net forums if this is either fake or real. Because of how Bungie likes to trick their fans into thinking something when it isn't a reality. Like with the cancellation of Halo 2 for 24 hours.

Most people think that the home page was actually giving hints that it was fake like the "PLEASE BE CALM" "EXPECT DELAYS" "LIES" and what not.

But there was an angry fan who made a video while making a fool of himself. http://youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0

Halo sucked so who gives a shit anyway

Comment #25 by towns
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 @ 08:14:02 AM

all u people who said halo sucked have no idea what ur saying and u probably played it a lot. the only problem with it was that there was little continuing replay value. im excited for what bungie has to say hoping its something we can look forward to

The fact that the countdown stopped at axactly 00:12:00:00 makes me realise that the planned this all along. This means that they will either announce something big anyway, or were just pumping fans for something they will announce some other day or in another game event. Hell, if they were announcing something this E3, they probably would have done it in the main MS event.

Lego Halo would be epic.

More than epic, it would pwn everything.

To mattblasto, comment #3:

Why would Bungie be ANNOUNCING Halo Wars? That game was announced FOREVER AGO, and plus, Bungie isn't making Halo Wars.

The new game wont be Halo 4 either, it's somthing else.

Man... some people.

Halo 3 movie?

or could just be that game they were gonna work with Peter Jackson on, the one that was like story driven. They talked about it a while back when Halo Wars was started to be talked about as well.

I hope it nothing to do with halo or marathon, something totally new!! Thats got a good story(like halo) but actually has something different about it(not like halo)

Everybody Bungie can't use Halo anymore. So it's something else.

BUT what is the something else...........?

Comment #38 by Xx Overkill VR
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 @ 04:16:51 PM

bungie are masters at hyping things out to the extreme maximum possible before mids explode... this could be announced to bring up the hype and get everyone interested and steal the spotlight at E3...


comment #8 says it all

also on kotaku they had a interview something with mtv games or w/e and microsoft said it was a halo game but not part of the trilogy

this is all part of the ARG check out this thread for more info on this situation and the Superintendant

[quote]why does everybody think that if you like halo then your a fanboy, cant we just like a game cause we just happen to like it?[/quote]

Because if the Halo franchise still makes you excited after the pile of shit that was Halo 3, you must be a fanboy.

@Dov: God forbid someone like a game that the 1337 don't approve of.

Seriously, grow up and deal with the fact that being a "fanboy" is still better than being a colossal douche.

Comment #43 by jimmy4876
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 @ 06:12:29 PM

i have a feeling it might be either a game (not halo) that involves master chief, or a a next gen marathon game
