My Theater just got an imported DDR machine. Max made me do "Legend of Max" on heavy. My feet hurt now.

Deep sea fishing was loads of fun today. Surprisingly I didn't get sun burned.

I mean, they could be sweaty and the sweat is reflecting light.

Damn, your impeccable logic defeats me once again, Tural.

This gives me hope that a new Halo is coming

I got a severe beating from Tural after mentioning just that, in a different thread.

Old and discussed heavily. First of all, a game wouldn't show up on only one store's listing, and especially not that early, and besides the source not being a reputable source of news in any way, Kirk presented a much more reasonable explanation:

Kirk wrote:Halo Blue has been around for awhile, it was briefly mentioned that it could be this other than the fact that I believe it was listed as a FPS shooter.. Also it was set for release in September, which is far too early for any new game

So yeah, there is basically little-to-no reason to take that rumor seriously.
When stores get a bit of information and don't have the actual, official information, they've been known to just fill it with what they believe. If the title "Halo Blue" came across them and the majority of their Halo product sales are the games, it would be simple to just classify it with them. Take for instance the Legendary Edition deal. They knew there were three editions, and everyone was listing the cost of LE at $100. When Microsoft actually announced the price, stores either had to screw over their customers, or take a loss on the sale. Why? Because they were too eager to fill in the missing information with what they thought they knew. The point is that retail stores are not reliable sources of announcements and news, ever.

tl;dr: No.

Gears 2 will use what's being called Linked Achievements. Players who played Gears 1 and completed Act 1 will be able to play as Carmine in Gears 2's multiplayer. If you killed Raam at the end of Gears 1 his character model will be available as well. There will be more Linked Achievements in Gears 2, but those were the only examples given.

Neat.

Xbox-Scene, quoting Bungie wrote:"Rest assured that when the time is right, we will be making announcements and talking about the stuff we're currently working on," the post reads, continuing, "At the moment we do have three distinct projects underway within Bungie - some familiar, some not. Some on a closer horizon, some quite far off."

They're working on three projects. In my opinion this greatly increases the chance that they're making a new Halo game.

I think it's safe to say they are.

Kirk · Post by **Kirk** » Sun Jul 27, 2008 12:52 am

Really there's no doubt in my mind that they're making a Halo title. But i'm not going to speculate any more than I have on what it's going to be about.

To be honest I'm more interested in what they're doing other than Halo.

Tural · Post by **Tural** » Sun Jul 27, 2008 12:56 am

I too would err on the side of another Halo game, but to take that Walmart article as confirmation, or even legitimate rumor, is just foolish. That is what I was getting at, not my own idea about such a thing being made..

Gurren Lagann is going to be played in sci f starting tomarrowi. I heard some good things about this show so it should be interesting actually seeing it.
