http://www.joystiq.com/2010/04/12/halo-mmo-had-90-million-budget-canceled-as-microsoft-eyed-cas/

 

 

damn I think this would have been awesome, Too Bad they wanted to be more casual!!!!!

 

What a waste of money

This would increase dramatically obesity  level worldwide. Let it be canceled. Amén



I would have loved to have seen this game and yes it could have been a WoW killer. Just look at how big the Halo franchise is compared to what WarCraft was prior to WoW. Microsoft would have had a huge chance to compete against WoW.

they did not waste money. they thought about developing a Halo MMO with a 90 million budget, but decided not to. So they did not invest 90 million. If they developed this MMO, they would have spent it.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

It would definately had a good shot at success, but I don't think it'd drag away WoW gamers. It's two very different settings and a lot of WoW players would have never played Warcraft RTS games before jumping into WoW. I think the opposite would be true of a Halo MMO.

uh you know that was from last April right?



would have been hard to make it a massive hit with the populatiry of wow, also the fact that most halo fans arent a pc gamer.



Being in 3rd place never felt so good

Damn they couldve made something revolutionary within the mmo genre, too bad.  They would have made more money than anything that has ever released in any medium period.  zgamer, they couldve made it for consoles as well.  There are so many possibilities when talking about creating an fps mmo, so many things that havent been done yet that could be implemented to make you feel as though you really are apart of the halo universe.  hmm...

No one says they lost 90 million making it...jsut that the game had a 90 million dollar budget that they most likely decided to spend elsewhere.



I would love a Halo MMO on my 360....or hell any good MMO on my 360 (that i wouldn't have to pay extra for)
