Halo 3 was ready for E3
[360] Bungie reveals that 360's biggest game could have been playable at E3
Halo 3, the most anticipated game for Xbox 360, could have been shown in a playable, multiplayer form at last month's E3 games show, according to developer Bungie. The only glimpse of next-gen Halo available at the show was the first ever trailer, despite the game being solid enough for gamers to go hands-on.
"Some people don't know that we had the option to let people play multiplayer [Halo 3]," Marty O'Donnell, the composer of Halo 3 's musical score, told website Xbox Evolved. This news comes shortly after hearing thatmultiplayer matches are already testing behind Bungie's closed doors.
With Halo 3 not due for release until next year, it looks like we'll have to wait quite some time before getting an idea of how Master Chief's new adventure is shaping up.
