==History==
While concept art was produced and Bungie planned to work with Ensemble Studios on the game, the other non-Halo Wars related teams were disbanded to focus on the RTS instead.Gamesutra: Exclusive: Ensemble Studios' Canceled Project Was Halo MMO It was discontinued as Microsoft "decided that its Xbox platform and XBLA really needed to go more in the direction of appealing to a more casual, broader audience."
==Design==
The concept art shows various new additions to the franchise such as the Sentients, Runner-class Transport, Aardvark, Diggerz, Grackle, Jaggmaw Sawtail, Rhino, Psion and Rogue.Kotaku: Halo MMO Concepts Former Ensemble employees have commented that, while comments comparing released screenshots and concept art comparing it to "WoW in Space" were accurate and that the early builds of the project drew inspiration from World of Warcraft for the basic structure and style, the more advanced builds were radically different before it was discontinued.
==Trivia==
*Although it was never revealed when the events of the MMO would take place in the Halo timeline, because Tartarus appears in a piece of concept art, it can be inferred that the MMO would've taken place sometime before the events of Halo 2 (when Tartarus is killed by Thel 'Vadamee at the end).
