"We were kidding, honest"...
Bungie has played down comments made by Lead Network Engineer David Aldridge at GDC that seemed to confirm that the developer’s next game is an MMO. Apparently the whole thing was a joke.
“An industrious journalist noticed the final slide from David’s GDC deck which apparently proclaimed that we were hiring for a "massively…multiplayer action game." Ruh oh.” Bungie wrote in a post on its official website entitled “The slide heard round the world”.
“Now, in rehearsal Aldridge was convinced that everybody got the joke. It was all in the delivery, he assured us, and he was certain it was clear that he was playfully riffing off of the recent rumors. Unfortunately, most people can’t figure David out – they can’t process him. And we don’t expect them to.”
Despite playing down Aldridge’s comments, Bungie stopped short of actually denying that they're working on an FPS MMO. IGN, who attended the talk and originally broke the news, are reporting that the MMO comment was actually spoken, and not on a slide.

I personally love Halo: Reach, and I think the story is fantastic. MW2 is a little annoying, especially with the respawn points in online games being terrible, the amount of times I have been spawn killed before I even have a chance to move is ridiculous, but apart from that, and the abundance of grenade launching noobs, it's a pretty tasty game. I am very excited to see what they come up with.

Agreed. Bungie appeared to use the same engine throughout most of the Halo games though (albeit a heavily iterated engine that changed a lot throughout the years), so perhaps it wasn't neccesarily certain that they'd start with a new engine for the Activision project.

"the studio is building a new engine for its next project"
yeah, I would hope so.

Can't imagine too many ex-IW staff would be happy with teaming up with Activision once again. The vast majority will be at Respawn and EA.

How many of them were shuttled over from what's left of Infinity Ward? :p

Do you think they will do something lame like Gameloft did in "NOVA", otherwise known as the iPhone's Halo clone?

That would be hilarious: both of these mega-partnerships are greeted with nothing but indifference from the gaming population.
A big fat 'Meh'...
