Pre-X05 excitement reaches melting point... Bungie promises 'awesome' announcement
A screenshot that purports to be the first ever image of Halo 3 is
today causing rampant speculation as to whether Microsoft intends to
unveil the game this week.
Microsoft's annual Xbox press extravaganza X05 kicks off this week in Amsterdam, where it has been rumoured that Halo's next-gen
debut would be unveiled.
However, most credible sources
suggest that the screenshot in question is a fake. It also seems that Halo 3 - due to be released at
the same time as PlayStation 3 - being at X05 is little more than
wishful thinking.
Indeed, Halo developer Bungie stated
on Friday, "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."
