"More Than Three Teams" Working On Halo Games

1Up reports on comments by Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Game Studios, which indicated that several different teams are working on Halo projects at the moment. Quoting: "When GamesIndustry.biz then pointed out that it puts the Age of Empires franchise in a similar position as Halo after Bungie departed from their partnership with Microsoft, that's when Spencer dropped this intriguing tidbit: 'Well, there's more than one team building Halo games right now. There are more than two or three teams building Halo things right now. Some of them we will own, some of them we won't. It's never been, for me, about who you own or don't own — it's about working with the best creative talent in the industry,' he said."

So, when does Halo come out for Linux?

Because until it does, I won't be playing it.

Let's see...Halo helped establish a new console manufacturer in the gaming industry, polished the FPS on consoles and had its design elements copied into subsequent FPS games that are now considered standard, yet it's not revolutionary?

Let me introduce you to my little friend goldeneye, FPS on a console and that was ~10 years ago

If Microsoft was milking the Halo franchise, there would have been a Halo game at the launch of the 360,

I thought it was just delayed

In fact, one of these Halo games coming out is already a known entity, Halo Wars, and is an RTS game, not an FPS.

Wow an RTS from an FPS game, it sounds well i wont laugh at you yet, ill let you belive your dream.
