In Response To: Project Phoenix canned? (Barnolde)

Some more stuff I forgot to post:

Ok, I got a little more clarification from the friend since I last posted.

So, Project Phoenix was supposed to be a fantasy castle siege strategy game that has been in development since the first Halo was around. It has been shown behind doors at E3. Apparently the sieging looked really cool, ie, when a giant smashes a part of your castle wall, it will crumble and fall in bits and parts that looked great.

The multiplayer lead designer from Halo 1, Hardy Lebel, (sorry, I thought I hard "Marty", but Marty is the sound guy) was put in charge as the project lead after Halo was done.

After Alex Seropian left, however, there was a little more movement in the ranks, some people left and Project Phoenix does not really have a direction other than "a cool castle siege game". So Hardy pulled the plug sometime earlier this week because he was frustrated it was not going anywhere and word has been travelling through the grapevine.

Ok, you won't hear an "official press release" from Bungie regarding this cancellation because, well, the proejct was never actually official announced in the first place. So, wait for it in print in "rumour mole" but that'll be as "official" as the news would get.

So, here are all the details I can milk. Don't just mock me coz I heard it via instant messages. Sorry there isn't any other way I can "prove" to you people that I'm relaying exactly what I get, but hey, I just thought *some people* would be interested to hear what I what I heard too. At least it's not like "I heard from fatbabies", so give me a freak'n break.
