Now, rather than deleting all of these, why not create a hub for cut-content? Just like our [[Pre-Xbox Halo]] article.

:Everything we have suggests the project is dead. Permanently. The MMO market notoriously hard to break into. Even Star Wars, sci-fi giant that it is, had to go free-to-play to attract players. Considering FPS fans and MMO fans probably overlap less than Star Wars fans and MMO fans do, it's probably not a sound financial move to resurrect the project.

:::Former developers were comparing it to Star Wars: The Old Republic in style and rough mechanics. Considering how that ended up for BioWare and EA, I doubt Microsoft would see it as viable. Plus, from what I've seen Microsoft seem to be courting the casual gamers, what with their focus on Kinect-friendly games - which was the reason they shuttered Ensemble in the first place, which is another reason for me to dislike the Kinect. | :::Former developers were comparing it to Star Wars: The Old Republic in style and rough mechanics.

It's unlikely that ''Titan'' itself would be restarted, actually the project is probably doomed forever. It doesn't really fit in the Halo universe, so if there's an MMO it would be an all new project. But I don't see Microsoft trying to compete with the other MMOs, a "connected" world a la ''Destiny'' would seem more plausible.

==Digsite additions== | |||
Considering we got stuff like Digsite happening, would anyone be interested in nudging 343 to get content from Titan to enter the mod tools? I mostly want to toy with the Psions and Aardvark personally, but I know there are more toys in this canceled project that we probably have yet to see. - <b><font color="#00DDFF">JamesTDG</font></b> 20:51, 1 August 2023 (UTC) | |||
:As I have suggested in the Digsite category, I think it could be viable to provide the assets to the players and allow said players to independently host it, kind of like the MMO rewritten projects for games like Club Penguin and ToonTown. - <b><font color="#00DDFF">JamesTDG</font></b> 01:03, 24 August 2023 (PST) | |||
::Having talked with Ken at 343 about this exact thing, it's extremely unlikely as those assets don't exist at 343 anymore - much of what we've found to archive has been news to them as much as us. Furthermore, Digsite is squarely focused on the Master Chief Collection games; it's unlikely to ever extend to the projects outside of that scope in the foreseeable future. As a reminder, the released assets are only for people to use in MCC mods - ''not'' custom fan projects and independent games.
