Halo 3: ODST really is the end of Halo 3, says Bungie

Bungie has said there are "no plans" for it to produce Halo 3 content beyond Orbital Drop Shock Trooper.

This is in response to Allen Murray's comment this week that the studio would be working on Halo 3 content for two more years.

"We'll never say never, but currently Bungie has no plans to make new Halo 3 content beyond the release of ODST," Bungie told Eurogamer.

"We will, however, continue to support the Halo 3 online experience with regular updates to matchmaking playlists and wield the Banhammer as needed.

"With Forge and the Mythic map Sandbox we're already seeing the community stepping up to create some great new maps and gametypes that will offer more variety and longevity to the game down the road.

The future of Halo 3 online will become more and more defined by the people who play it," added the developer.

Halo 3: ODST is expected sometime this fall.
