"We chatted with Xbox general manager J. Allard while at E3, and he was extremely candid about the world's most wanted game. "There's a full sequel to Halo in the works at Bungie" Allard told us, scorching rumours of a halo 1.5 online version of the original game."

"But there's good and bad news - Master Chief's next adventure won't be with us until Christmas 2003. Thats ages away, and the wait is going to be hard, but it does show that Microsoft is prepared to wait and let Bungie produce another masterpiece, rather then forcing out a rush job to make a fast buck. Its a good sign for both Halo 2 and the future of Xbox in gerneral."

"Whats more, Allard excitedly assured us that "Xbox Live will play a massive part in Halo 2." Hardly a surprise, of course, but we really got the impression he'd have loved to have gone on about it all night"

"Halo 2 is being developed right now in Redmond, WA."
