Title: Microsoft and Peter Jackson join up for new Halo title - also Age of Halo? Post by: squirrel on September 27, 2006, 02:31:14 PM Linky (http://news.com.com/Microsoft%2C+Peter+Jackson+to+form+game+studio/2100-1043-6120230.html?part=dht&tag=nl.e433)
thought this bit was interesting: Quote In addition, Microsoft's Ensemble Studios, creator of the hit "Age of Empires," will create another new "Halo" title, "Halo Wars." Taking a page from Blizzard's playbook perhaps? Title: Re: Microsoft and Peter Jackson join up for new Halo title - also Age of Halo? Post by: schild on September 27, 2006, 03:10:20 PM There was a tiny rumor back in 2004 about Ensemble doing a Halo MMOG. Where was I in 2004? Somewhere where I'd hear such a rumor. Later, I heard it again, but it was no longer an MMOG. I think it's still going to have an assload of persistancy though.

If the EverQuest RTS game had caught on as much as Warcraft III, I still don't think EverQuest 2 would be as popular as World of Warcraft. Each individual game has to be good on its own merits.

Halo was originally slated to be a third-person shooter. |
