Halo 3 In the Works, Set To Crush PS3 Launch?

Posted by Zonk on Monday February 28, 2005 @08:29AM from the file-under-s-for-suspicious dept.

IGN has an article claiming to reveal a few rumours from around the industry. The most interesting of these rumours is the possibility that Halo 3 is in the works already, and what's more is being targeted at the PS3 launch date in an effort to undermine Sony. From the article: "The release of Halo 3 at the precise launch of PS3 is a pure, military tactical move, similar to the PS2's greatest lineup ever launching simultaneously with the launch of the Xbox and GameCube. It's designed to counter Sony's upcoming launch with the best weapon Earth has on its side, Master Chief." I'd take this one with a big helping of NaCl.

...Halo 2 received with a collossal "meh"? I mean, it flew off the shelves, but after a few days all I was hearing was a melange of "What the hell?" and "That was the lamest thing I've ever played." After that, is #3 really expected to be such a blockbuster?
Maybe I just don't hang out with enough XBOX players. I dunno...
