<p>After receiving the <a href="http://www.edge-online.com/news/halo-3-scoops-edge-award-interactive-innovation" target="_blank">Edge Award for Interactive Innovation</a>, Halo 3 creators Bungie have thanked the publication via a highly entertaining video.  In it there are hints towards a new Halo development, but not a new game as <a href="http://secondstorygamer.com/2008/08/bungie-teases-halo-game-red-blue-style/" target="_blank">many have been suggesting.</a> <span id="more-6619"></span></p>
<p>We suspect that when Luke Smith says, &#8220;Even though in Halo 3 you finished the fight, it doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean the ride&#8217;s over,&#8221; he is referring to the often teased Halo 3 online expansion. For example, a few weeks ago this was said on <a href="http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&amp;cid=14994" target="_blank">Bungie&#8217;s very own blog</a>:</p>
<blockquote><p>While a lot of the changes done this month were backend things that players will never notice, you would be right to think that August’s changes feel very minimal. The reason for this is that we’ve been focused on preparing a larger series of changes to Matchmaking for September. Much larger.</p>
<p>Much, much larger.</p>
<p>No, really. It’s huge. You should see how giddy Luke gets when I talk about the tentative plan.</p></blockquote>
<p>And even before then &#8220;major changes to the Halo 3 Online experience&#8221; were <a href="http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&amp;cid=14735" target="_blank">teased.</a> Check out the video below.</p>

<p>After the controversy of E3, where Bungie were stopped from making a <a href="http://www.ripten.com/2008/07/08/bungie-hints-at-july-14th-e3-announcment/" target="_blank">new game announcement</a> by <a href="http://www.ripten.com/2008/07/16/bungie-countdown-stopped-by-microsoft/" target="_blank">Microsoft</a>, it seems all they can do is hint and tease.  Well, we&#8217;re taking notice and we expect to hear more about an online expansion very soon.  September maybe&#8230;</p>
