Bungie Promises "Big News" Next Week

Via 1up news, Bungie's statement that they'll have some big news to share next week about the Halo series. From their post: "A bunch of stuff is going down to celebrate the 5th anniversary of a little game we like to call Halo. In November 2001, Halo launched alongside the Xbox console, and the rest is history. Next year, Halo 3 will conclude the story arc begun all those years ago and next week, we'll take a long lingering look at the series to date. There will also be some pretty BIG surprises and maybe announcements. Who can say?" 1up has posted up a blow-by-blow account of their time with Halo 3's multiplayer, which is well worth checking out for anyone shunning Gears for Halo 2 this week.

Bungie was a Mac-focused company (Marathon, etc.) until Microsoft bought them, which may be why you hadn't heard about Halo years before release. It used to be prominently featured at MacWorld every year. That said, I'm still surprised you hadn't heard about it at its release -- Microsoft pushed it pretty hard, and I know it was covered here.
