Around 2007-2009, game development studio [[Certain Affinity]] were in talks with [[343 Industries]] to produce a '''''Halo'' game'''. The game was intended by 343 Industries to be a digital download game, and Certain Affinity pitched a number of ideas including one that had multiple people "super excited". Ultimately, the contract was close to being in place to begin development, though fell through once the then-upcoming ''[[Halo Waypoint]]'' project became a larger priority. Although the project fell through, the negotiations allowed Certain Affinity to keep in contact with [[Microsoft]], ultimately going on to produce ''Waypoint'' and the [[Defiant Map Pack|Defiant]] and [[Anniversary Map Pack|Anniversary]] DLCs for ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', alongside continued work on future ''Halo'' games.{{Ref/Site|Id=VICE|URL=https://www.vice.com/en/article/xwqjg3/the-complete-untold-history-of-halo-an-oral-history|Site=VICE|Page=The Complete, Untold History of Halo: An Oral History|D=10|M=10|Y=2021}} | Around 2007-2009, game development studio [[Certain Affinity]] were in talks with [[343 Industries]] to produce a '''''Halo'' game'''.
