Video: Bungie's acceptance video hints at next big Halo related announcement

Holy giant Bungie acceptance speech video hint at their next Halo project Cortana! Witness Bungie's latest canceled E3 announcement tease in their acceptance speech video for EDGE's Interactive Innovation award, which is similar to their Gphoria award acceptance speech but much more juicy in terms of clues regarding their next project. You'll have to watch the video for yourself to really understand what we mean, but if the Halo 3 characters making an appearance in multiplayer levels or blue wireframe environments have anything to do with it, then we're in for a super Halo surprise. Watch, analyze and tell us what secret info you can gather from the acceptance video. Oh, and "even though in Halo 3 you finished the fight, that doesn't necessarily mean that the ride is over."

[Thanks, Macedonia Mafia]

lol..
Honestly I think Halo 4 would be quite awesome, but I don't want to see it on the xbox 360. Give the 360 some more halo prequels, and when the next xbox comes out, release halo 4. It would be a strong system seller, plus it would have some great graphical updates! :) I rather see the next big halo on the next big console! ;P hehe..

i disagree. the original xbox got 2 halo games, i dont see why the new one cant. sure putting it on the new xbox would allow it to shine brighter but a lot of 360 fans are gonna be disappointed with just a single halo game on their console.

I really don't want it to be another Halo, how about something new Bungie?

They are working on new stuff also. But, Halo is basically what they are known for now. So, they will keep making them and I will keep buying them. I just want to know what happened to chief when he flew toward that planet.

Uh oh.... yep... yep, I peed my pants! This is awesome! You know you're a Halo fanboy when you watch this video and become extatic (and possibly pee your pants)!

I agree, even though I love Halo and it's the only thing I live for, I'd rather wait for Halo 4 or the equivalent sequel to be a launch title for Xbox 3.

Halo will live on. I personally am excited to see what they have up their sleeve. Although i really want to know how this janitor guy ties into things.
Keep it clean.

That blue wireframe environment at the end is a massive hint. Forge might just be going full blown level designer from scratch! :)

I concur!

I'm thinking Halo 3 PC with full blown level editor and even better video making capabilities. I'd be surprised if the tech was there for loading the maps onto the 360 but that would be awesome.

Maybe more avatars in MP...

I dunno why they keep mentioning microsoft owning the IP. MS could still contract out to bungie to develop halo related FPS products.

I'm pretty confident this will go beyond PC.

Given Bungie's history of introducing PC features to the console world, Halo 3 is yet to see a release on PC, and the Halo 3 fan base is a console monopoly, I think anything less than a 360 release would not even merit Bungie hinting at.

I'm pretty sure it's a level editor but it seems to be going further when he talks about the "fight's not over". So I'm going ahead to say that there's a console version of modding to allow users to create new campaigns and stories with the characters in the Halo franchise, along with enhanced machinima features akin Red v Blue, and a far more advanced level editor that takes Forge out of pre made maps and into the realm of blank slates ready for player's creativity.

I think Forge 2.0, may well change the way Halo is played and used and will coincide with the playlist, lobby and matchmaking changes coming in September.

So I'll put myself right out there and say Bungie is going to announce a Halo equivalent of LittleBigPlanet, with the emphasis on first person rather than the third person for the 360 crowd.
