DiemetriX Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Gameinformer strikes again According to a gaming magazine (Game Informer), Bungie are developing a Halo - Themed FPS MMO for the Xbox 360 - the game is still in the planning phase and it's codenamed Orion. [GI]Last issue we told you about Bungie's Forerunner Halo project, and now we're gonna let you in on another game the develer has cooking - a project currently codenamed Orion. Bungie is leaning with Ensemble(>) Studios for the Halo -themed FPS MMO on the 360, and the game is currently still in the planning phase. So, details regarding Orion - like Forerunner - could change.[/GI] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skarmachild Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Me thinks April fool, but we shall see in time. Right, well teh guy who originally scanned in the Red Steel Revolution scans made a post saying: "I won't even tell you guys about Halo: Orion" about 3 minutes after he posted in the scans and got 10k+ hits.

Jamba Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Even if this were true, it's just Planetside rehashed. Hal doesn't have a universe worth making an MMO for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 well i reckon it would be good if they did do this. Just think, a group of 50 or so people, all having a massive war with hundreds of covenant's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero Seven Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 a group of 50 or so people, all having a massive war with hundreds of covenant's I would Lick it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calibur Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Its definently a really cool idea if they could pull it off without Trashing the Halo name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeldaFreak Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Its definently a really cool idea if they could pull it off without Trashing the Halo name. Isn't the Halo name already trashed thnks to two very generic FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1UP Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 No this is the old issue, this news came out like 2 weeks ago ... And I dunno if an MMO would be good... I don't wanna pay an extra 5 quid a month ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Since Bungie are owned by MGS, it would run through XBL servers meaning there wouldn't be an online charge (probably). I dunno if this would work, i'd love to see it as Planetside was great fun. Only thing is, there were only 3 living spartans left from the experiments. That and everyone would be called "Master Chief 029403943909090439". Although, i'd love a huge urban map several miles in length with spartans against covernent. Awesome.

1UP Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Thing is though, they said it would use an upgraded Halo 2 engine. Now that wouldn't be very goood would it ... And wouldn't like 60-odd people start lagging with so many people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess, probably no-one would be able to be a spartan super soldier like Master Chief, you would be "normal" humans or such. Or perhaps you could be an AI controlling a huge battleship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamba Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Why does it have to be a Planetside rip off. Why can't they just make a Planetside sequel or a totally ORIGINAL MMO format!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorrit Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Jamba, do you mean that every MMO FPS is a Planetside ripoff? Then isn't every FPS a Wolfenstien ripoff, or every platformer a Mario ripoff, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowser57 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Isn't the Halo name already trashed thnks to two very generic FPS You wouldn't have said that had Halo 2 been cel shaded and taken part mostly on the sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then isn't every FPS a Wolfenstien ripoff, or every platformer a Mario ripoff, etc. mario was a rip of of Manic Miner :P (quoted because it's the truth) If this does get released and comes to pc i may get it.

There is only 3 spartans left at the end of Halo1/halo2 (master chief, the woman, and a wounded one right)..?, but before that there was about 80 odd right, soemthign like that, it has been awhile since I read the books though. Planet side is great fun, somehting on that scale would be very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
