No current plans for XBLA titles either

Halo 3 developer Bungie, who recently became independent of Microsoft, said that is has no plans to work on any platforms other than the Xbox 360 at this time.

In a live text interview with our sister site, Eurogamer.net, Bungie's Jonty Barnes indicated that Microsoft has been good to them and hopes the relationship continues to be their strongest one.

"We're really focused on continuing our collaboration in making the best games we can, and that right now is on 360," he said.

He also indicated that Bungie currently has no plans for Xbox Live Arcade titles, although admitting they'll "never say never."

Responding to criticism of the cost of Halo 3 downloadable content which was recently released, Bungie's Frank O'Connor noted that the pricing decision was not made by them.
"It is an expensive business with most of the Bungie team being involved at one stage or another, so I'm not surprised Microsoft is trying to recoup its costs," he said. "The maps will be free in just a few months, so the patient can simply wait it out."

O'Connor noted that there are at least two Easter Eggs on 'Stand Off,' and also said that Forge can "certainly contain toys unavailable before.
