Huh?

In Response To: Re: Project Phoenix canned? (Shishka) : Well, in the article you pointed out, Bungie chose to can the side project : for the big important sequel project. : *glances in the general direction of the halo 2 screenshots* ;) : While the circumstances strike as being a little different, both situations : generally describe what can happen in the game design process. In such a : lucrative business, it's important to pour your resources into the : superior product. In this case, Halo 2 won out, not due to it being the : better product, but because the developers simply couldn't make Pheonix : into what they wanted it to be. I can't even imagine how frustrating it is : to, after so many years, officially curb a project. :( Where did you get this information? My understanding was that Phoenix was canned because it wasn't going anywhere... and the crew that was working on it didn't start working on Halo 2, they started up a new (and as-yet undescribed) project. Did I miss something?
