Joint project with Activision not "WoW in space"...
Bungie has confirmed that its next title is a “massively multiplayer action game”. The developer broke the news during a GDC talk titled “I Shot You First: Networking the Gameplay of Halo: Reach”.
Speaking at the event in San Francisco, Bungie Lead Network Engineer David Aldridge took the time to mention that the game - codenamed Destiny - is not “WoW in space”, as recent rumours have suggested. However, he didn’t specifically deny that the game has a sci-fi setting, or confirm whether or not it will be an FPS.
Activision Publishing CEO, Eric Hirschberg, recently revealed that Bungie’s new title won’t be released until 2012 at the earliest.

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"

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'...
