Halo 3 = 2007

Just saw this on IMDb.com:

Halo, which became a huge video-game hit for Microsoft and helped it successfully launch its Xbox game console, will be transformed into a movie in 2007 as the result of a deal signed Wednesday between the software company and two studios, Universal and 20th Century Fox. The studios reportedly agreed to pay Microsoft $5 million, plus a percentage of the box-office gross for the rights. In addition, Microsoft reportedly plans to coordinate the opening of the film with its release of the Halo 3 videogame. (Halo 2 took in over $125 million in sales on the first day of its release last November.) As part of the deal, Universal will oversee production of the movie and distribute it domestically, while Fox will distribute it overseas.

As long as the game is good, they can release it whenever they want.

God the ending of Halo 2 really pissed me off, that was just when the story was starting to get good. I just hope Halo 3 have some sort of closer to the story, even if it leaves it a bit open like the first one did.

I loved everything about Halo CE, and I love Halo 2 multiplayer, but the Halo 2 story is incredibly lackluster in comparison to the first. Add horrible texture filtering, and the campaign actually looks worse than the first in my opinion.
