Halo 3 Doesn't Exist?
Rumors fly about name change, co-op mode.
by Charles Onyett

March 16, 2006 - Though this could very well be a stinking pile of garbage, a post by someone named DM Duo Maxwell on Xbox.com claims he transcribed an upcoming Game Informer article on Halo 3. According to the post, Halo 3 won't be called Halo 3. Instead, the title will be called Forerunner. Again, this could be total trash. When contacted for a comment, Microsoft unloaded the standard, "Microsoft doesn't comment on rumors or speculation." Make no mistake, this information is entirely speculative, as no credible sources have yet come forward to back the post up.

The only thing that makes the post notable is the level of detail. In addition to the different name, Forerunner will feature large-scale environments, open-ended mission designs and support cooperative play for up to four players. Master Chief is still in the game as well, according to the post, and functions as the main playable character.

Since all of this could be false, that's about as much as we're going to say. We'll have any concrete information as soon as it's available for this highly anticipated game, be it Halo 3 or Forerunner or whatever else happens to get churned out of the rumor mill.

Completely taken of (IGN) could be true as i feel when they talk about thier next project you would assume it was halo3 but why would they call it thier next project, well probably a load of DUMP but anyways :)
 
heard something about this yesterday and it may just be carrying on from halo2 more then a new story or something. I aint pld halo2 so dunno how the ending was but apparently it was a bit abrupt?

'a bit abrupt' is an understatement. A good analogy would be falling off a cliff and then stopping in mid-air just as elsewhere someone buckles a life-line to themselves to (presumably) jump after you to save your life.

wasnt the original comic series called forerunner???

I believe 'forerunner' has something to do with Halo, sure I read it somewhere before. I highly doubt they would change the games name entirely, it's more likely that they would drop the sequential number and just call it "Halo:forerunner" if anything.

I don't understand why there is so much speculation about Halo 3, we all know it's coming eventually...

Thats not being speculated.. what is, is the games title..

which isnt exactly groundbreaking speculation..

but the large open areas, if they can truly pull off a dynamic battlefront for humans vs covenant.. that would be fantastic, i still dont think weve really seen a dynamic battlefield.. Operation Flashpoint came close, even if it was mostly scripted
