Microsoft hiring producer for "new project line in the Halo universe"

I'm guessing it's not Halo Wars 2 since that wouldn't technically categorize as a "new" project line?

I'd buy it
 
Could you imagine if they made a Halo RPG like KOTOR. Make your own character in the Halo universe. What are you waiting for meatbag!?!
 
Has to Halo Wars 2, has to be! If it is, I hope they unshackle the base-building part and allow us to control the size and build where we want to. Only thing that really annoyed me about HW.

Why micro-transactions? When did MS become synonymous with micro-transactions? Halo has never had them.

I think its less of a diss against MS and more of a diss against Mobile games in general, though the last Halo mobile game (Spartan Assault) did have Micro-transactions, though they were more of a shortcut rather then a requirement.

Hey Frank what do you think about Master Chief as a character in Killer Instinct?

Everyone else: LET ME DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!

OT: How about a game following Agent Locke and ONI?

Third person action game where you play as Tartarus. The true purpose of the Master Chief Collection's Halo 2 Anniversary was to bring Mr.Mohawk back into the spotlight. 343i please.

An ODST game like Destiny would be cool. Endless strike missions. Level up to the Spartan program. Fight the covenant and flood and fore runners.
