During Bungie Day yesterday, I spent some time going down memory lane looking up the various activities/celebrations we've had and stumbled upon the July 2008 reveal Bungie was planning for E3 that year (ODST) which was subsequently canceled by Microsoft.
I then found an old Weekly Update from April 25, 2008 where Frankie shares that Microsoft was hiring people to work on other aspects/future games of Halo at Microsoft Game Studios and it didn't involve Bungie as they were planning something for the near future (ODST) and then he wrote this . .
"Meanwhile, we're damn busy ourselves with a variety of projects underway within the studio including one that you'll be hearing more about in the very near future. [i]Now that we control our own destiny we also have other longer term, top secret plans afoot. The wait for that may be a tad longer though[/i]." [u][/u]
My italics.
We are all aware of the Destiny poster in ODST, but has this reference been seen before? I thought it was a good find and thought I'd share it . . . if it hasn't been already.

Considering that Destiny would be the first project out of Microsoft's control, that actually makes a lot of sense.
