  • EvanVolm, on 09/26/2008, -0/+7It was originally conceived as an RTS.
  • Divals, on 09/26/2008, -0/+6No, the original concept for Halo was for a strategy game, along the lines of their previous hits Myth and Myth II.
  • RealmDown, on 09/26/2008, -0/+5OMGWTFBBQ !
  • btgoss, on 09/26/2008, -1/+5But wasn't Halo originally conceived as a MMO?
    Way back when it was going to be Mac only.
  • geenope, on 09/26/2008, -0/+3I think it could work, but only if Microsoft don't expect me to pay extra for it, as well as paying for Live.
  • amitlu, on 09/26/2008, -0/+3Read the article. It's about the development that's going on aside from Ensemble's work.
  • hokeywebb22, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1well I know it was talked about in the article but try out Planetside. I haven't played it in a few years and I'm not even sure how popular it still is but it was awesome. You choose one of three factions. Then there are multiple continents and you and your faction work together to take over bases to control the differnt continets. Gets old after awhile but its really fun when you start.
  • MaxMWood, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1I dont know if anyone has heard of PlanetSide, which is an MMOFPS? I imagine this will be similar but hopefully much more up to date and a lot better.
  • NGliam, on 09/27/2008, -0/+1I was intrigued by this. I've never been interesting in any of the major MMORPGs (not enough to pay for them anyway), but I'd definitely try this if it was for the PC despite the fact I've never really liked Halo either. I just like the idea of a MMOFPS, and a large scale one such as this is obviously the best example we'll see as opposed to a free to play one :p
  • zinc6471, on 09/27/2008, -1/+1how much do you think the monthly subscription will be? an arm and a leg? or just one of you testicles
  • optimuskade, on 09/26/2008, -3/+2umm.. wasn't this recently canceled?
  • melkore, on 09/26/2008, -2/+1This was leaked from Ensemble Studios after they received notice they were being shut down. This is a canceled project and has been for awhile.
