Ensemble Studios, now to be killed off once Halo Wars goes gold sometime very soon was once working on a Halo MMO game which was toyed with during 2006 and cancelled not too long after in 2007. Some conceptual art has come out for the game and the information that at one stage the game had three working prototypes, two which were killed off at the same time, another was extended some time to try and make the concept work. However, all eventually fell flat and the game ended up dead.

All I see is the classic Sonic CulT hotlink image of Link humping Knuckles.

It looks too much like WOW.

Looks fine to me, but I can probably see why. The forums use x-cult.org in the address rather than sonic-cult.org, so it probably thinks some silly fucker's hotlinking images and returning 404's (or does 403 count in these instances?).

Either way;

See if they work for you.

Still getting the "oh shit you caught us" expressions.

Saz, where are these images located off-of x-cult.org? x-cult.org/imagebinx = 404.

In the mean time, hit the Kotaku link. They're the same images just resized shittily.

fixed

More art. Even if this looked like a shit idea, it's still cool stuff like this has made it into the public.

so yeah, thats just WoW with halo assets, why the hell are they using swords? a less annoying version of planetside would have been much more preferable
