One of my CS friends got a job at Bungie a few months ago and he told me that they were building a class based massive multiplayer game (fps, along the lines of MAG) with the Halo Franchise. Care to guess which game he was talking about.

Is Halo an EA game now? Seems to be a new game every time I look.

not an rpg, a game like MAG. I edited my original post, so that there will be no confusion.

@oldschool: Yeah, just like every other huge franchise out there...

If this is correct, it would be interesting to see how it would work, I mean wouldn't the Spartan class sort of be the king of all classes?

They could all be a variant of the spartan class.

Fixed."

Thank you sir. On reflection, that does seem more appropriate.

Seriously though, is Halo being milked? I have 1, 2 and Wars but I don't go out of my way to get them, I just get them very cheap much later (Halo wars was free with the 360 and I haven't put it in the machine in the 2-3 months since I got it). Killing the goose that laid the golden egg?

@oldschool: Other franchises such as Mario have been milked to a greater extent than Halo, but I wouldn't consider "Halo" being milked because all the games released are of good caliber; however, if Halo Tennis is ever released...

@oldschool: I would just like to point out that halo 3 was released in 2007.... Halo reach beta will be released in 2010. As for ODST, only a small portion of bungie are working on it. So no they're not really. For milking, see call of duty and their attempts to reset the number count

That wasn't an either/or point. I agree that many franchises when successful are 'milked'. It wasn't specific to Bungie though, just to the franchise that is Halo. It also isn't an indication of quality. From my perspective, it seems that once you start making offshoots of a successful franchise, you diminish the impact and name it has. There are exceptions to that, the ones who maintain quality and name, but it is still a risky strategy. Once the term "oh, another Halo game" creeps into the conversation, it grows and gets a life of its own.

I doubt anyone at Bungie would leak out information like that.

Hey mugugipian, what's with all the troll topics lately. Do you just sit around your computer and make shit up all day? Nobody in their right mind would risk an awesome job at Bungie to tell you this.

Well, while I think the OP probably has no clue, I think a Class-based halo is probable.

Not really. I love Halo but I'm getting sick of it. Can Bungie make a new brand?

While I am dubious of this information, it's not completely out of the question. I have a friend who works for Sony testing hardware, and he was able to leak information about the PSP 3000, Go and PS3 slim months before places like Kotaku got a hold of it. Surprisingly, nobody believed me either. :P But if you look through some of my old posts on ScrewAttack you'll find some very accurate information about features the Go and Slim turned out to have.

Regardless, we already know Reach features customisable armour which basically gives you unique "perks" and they said these wouldn't be in the multiplayer for balance issues. It's pretty obvious one of Bungie's new secret modes they mentioned will incorporate different classes like this. We didn't really need a leak to know this.

No offense but I doubt you have a friend who works at Bungie and leaked the information to you so readily.
