This is interesting, I wonder if it's being worked on still.  I would think Microsoft wants to keep an MMO in their pocket, but with the Champions Online and maybe (hopefully?) Age of Conan, i'm thinking this is just a wish.  I'm hoping to here some more on this topic.

Saw when it was first posted. Terrible idea, and it looks just as bad. Good thing they canned it.

Now, if they gave that idea to someone that could make a great MMO I would definitely get it.

Screw that, we need an MMO with Orcs and Elves and Wizards!

Wow, that looks weird. I don't think it would have worked well, that's probably why they canned it.

Seriously... that thing looked like shit.

Sounds like a terrible idea. I'd hate a Halo MMO! even if it was done right it would still fail, the reason Halo as become the huge hit that it is today is because its loved by console fans. Not PC fans and MMO's will never work on console.

So glad the concept was scraped. Great studio though, sad to see it close!

Age of Empires was the first PC Game I ever played!
