Bungie News Next Week
Bungie's weekly update is always an interesting read, but this week they have a hint at a surprise to come next week. From the update: "Oh. Keep your eyes peeled next week for a surprising, cool, awesome Bungie-related announcement. No it is not Halo 3, nor is it the surprise revelation of our next project (whatever that may be) but it's sweet. It's something I've hinted at in the past. And you'll probably like it. More than that I can't say. Which even I know is aggravating. But it ain't up to me. So just be patient." News site pundits seem to think this may be a revelation that a Halo character may be in DOA 4. Guess we'll find out next week. Update: 10/04 20:00 GMT by Z : Well, that didn't take long. A Halo character *is* going to be in DOA4, and Peter Jackson is set to produce the Halo movie.
Perhaps it will be the ideal Holloween costume of Master Chief. High quality materials and realistic.
It's an announcement of an announcement of an announcement .
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
"News site pundits seem to think this may be a revelation that a Halo character may be in DOA 4."
How underwhelming.

Will I FINALLY be able to add "Kellogg's Halos" as part of my complete breakfast?
Today, I saw a comment on a message board that a blog I was reading TrackBacked to a blog post in response to a press release that a pundit commented about hearing mentioned on the radio station in the morning. Good thing I had the presence of mind to moblog it on my Sidekick and e-blast it on over to Slashdot, where it attracts meaningful comments like this!
Will he be in the next DOA BEACHVOLLEYBALL?!
This sig isn't original enough, it's time to come up with something witty...
A company might announce the possibility of announcing that they might in fact do something in the future. But it won't be something actually major, and might not even be worth mentioning it once they say it. We at /. news are dedicated to tracking this breaking story to let you know if this in fact becomes an item of news.
News at 11.
Got Apathy?
Are you insinutating that Master Chief is a.... a... girl underneath that armor?!
Microsoft selling them off and returning to a Mac-only developer.
Karma: It's not just a good idea. It's the law.
They're going to write the word 'Hype' in soap bubbles?
If Microsoft was mass, stupidity would be gravity.
Halo 4?
Somebody had to do it...
If its not Marathon 4, I don't care.
If it is a girl then she's got an exceptionally deep voice.
Hmmm, they could use 343 Guilty Spark for a ball... don't know that it would actually make the game good, but being able to punch around that smug electric POS might be amusing.
It could be Dr. Girlfriend from The Venture Brothers, I suppose...
Comment of the year
Finally! It's being released after years of development.
I'm so looking forward to the much-vaunted 'turn them out' technology.
Let if be co-op multiplayer for the PC version......
* holds breath *
(expect me dead long before that announcement is ever made)
It's obviously Halo 2 PC.
I will laugh for a week STRAIGHT when I finally kill you.
This has just been confirmed on Bungie.net The animated gif strongly suggests that the character will be Cortana, notice the bouncing breasts (a feature pioneered by DOA).
Wouldn't that be nice!
They open sourced the Marathon Infinity engine, so maybe... just maybe...
(Then we can find out why the thing requires 16 nVidia SLI cards working in parallel on a supercomputer just to render at a constant 60fps in complex scenes)
It must be like fucking a nuclear bunker door.

Or maybe, if you guys read the website, it would tell you yes, there is a Halo character in DOA4, but that wasn't all.
