10 Things You Didn't Know About Halo

November 17, 2008 3:00 AM

Halo will be seven years old on Nov. 15, starting as an experiment. Could Bungie, a company that made shooters for the Macintosh, make a shooter for Microsoft's new console system? It turned into a juggernaut.

In honor of the anniversary, our sister site fidgit has complied a list of 10 things you didn't know about Halo.

Bungie is working on Halo 3: Recon, a fall 2009 expansion that adds a new campaign with a new hero, presumably set on Earth while the Covenant are invading. There have been five Halo novels, as well as a graphic novel. A sixth novel, subtitled The Cole Protocol, is due Nov. 25.
