Halo at E3 – rumor acknowledged.

Gah. I wanted to avoid this altogether, because it seems like it’s better just to see what happens… but when rumors start showing up on CNN, you gotta pay ’em SOME attention. Lots of places have been hinting that E3 could be the first place where new Halo footage is seen this year – and now Chris Morris’ Game Over column joins the list of hinters.

Expect to see the first footage from the next installment of “Halo,” which might shift some focus away from the competition. (The game won’t hit stores until 2007, however.)

‘Expect’ might be too strong an imperative… but it’s certainly possible. Anyway, I’ve now acknowledged the rumor, so any more emails concerning it (from any site) will be blissfully ignored. (Thanks, ICDedPpl.)
