Possible New Halo Game?
Posted: 05.11.2009 07:03 by Joe Robinson Comments: 5
343 Industries, the internal division Microsoft created to look after the Halo franchise after Bungie went independent, is now looking to fill several staff positions.

Whilst nothing official has been announced, these latest hirings could indicate a new Halo title is on the way, which would also be the first created by this new studio.

The division is being steered by an ex-Bungie, Frank O'Connor, who is creative director.

Some of the job listings include: AI Director, Multiplayer Game Design, Graphics Software Development Engineer, Environment Artists and Software Development Lead, all of which are listed for a 'Halo' job.

As prolific as Final Fantasy (which has yet to reach an actual "final" edition), of course there is another HALO game in the works.

Halo, If it is as good as the first then I'll take it, If its a half a job like the others forget it.

Well, when you have such a huge following on a franchise, it's stupid not to keep making games for it, because your basically guaranteed good sales.

I dunno, but I just never got anything out the Halo games. Nothing I haven't seen before.

Mhm, why is 343 doing it? I hope they are not stepping away from the Bungie way of doing it.
