New Halo Version from Microsoft?
A Microsoft job posting on Career Builder dot com reveals that the media giant is now enlisting programmers for a brand-new Halo project that embraces online social communities. Is this the Halo MMO fans have been clamoring for, one that will bring games like Halo 3 and Halo Wars to the scale of World of Warcraft? It's possible, but at this time we're as in the dark as you are.
To clarify, the mysterious new Halo game is not Halo 3: ODST, which comes out this September, but an entirely new Halo experience that you'll potentially be able to play on your iPhone, your Xbox 360, and PC.
"We're looking to blend console, web, and mobile to create an immersive Halo world that follows the dedicated Halo fan wherever they go. We need engineers that can build connected technology while working in a startup environment." -Microsoft
