Halo 3, or does Bungie have something new on tap?

Now that Halo 2 production is complete, what's next for Bungie?  In a recent interview with the BBC, Bungie studio manager Pete Parsons revealed, "After Halo 2 we are planning to do something different... we have a few ideas." An original IP, eh? Does this mean Halo won't be a launch title for the Xbox 2? One things for sure,
Halo 2 is right around the corner, just cleared for RTC where it will be transfered from digital tape to DVD for final testing. So let's give Bungie a much-deserved rest and set our sights on November 9.
