Microsoft continues to play cagey with information about the Halo franchise in the aftermath of Gates' E3 comments and the absence of an official announcement by Bungie.

Interviewing Peter Moore and J Allard, Game Informer had the following exchange:

GI: Would you hold Halo 3 for the same time as the launch for the movie?

Moore: Halo what? What are you talking about?

Yeah, that's clever. The article does actually have information in it, too-- about the Xbox 360's launch lineup and some commentary on the process by which the Halo movie project came to be.
