As revealed in a post to the developer's Web site, that event most certainly will not be next
month's open-to-the-public Penny Arcade Expo in Bungie's backyard, Seattle, Washington.
"For the record, we have no plans to make any big announcements or huge reveals at PAX
this year," said Bungie community manager Brian Jarrard. "While we will have some Halo 3
multiplayer stuff for you to check out, this is not going to be the 'big announcement' many of
our fans are clamoring for. Rest assured that when the time is right, we will be making
announcements and talking about the stuff we're currently working on."
As for what "stuff" Jarrard is referring to, the Bungie representative said the studio is currently
at work on three distinct projects, "some familiar, some not...some on a closer horizon, some
quite far off." One of those projects is likely the rumored Master Chief-free, squad-based
tactical Halo spin-off, which a source told GameSpot is "a cross between Ghost Recon and
Gears of War" and has a "less cartoony, more bloody, violent, and grim" aesthetic.

Game players and makers alike have voiced their
criticism over the Entertainment Software Association's
E3 2008 trade show last week. However, none seemed
to be quite so disappointed with the outcome of the show
as Halo creators Bungie, who abruptly canceled a teaser
campaign after Microsoft said it wanted to deliver the
studio's next project at "a more dedicated event."
