'Halo 3 at E3' rumours have been bouncing around the 'net faster than shards from Master Chief's needler gun in the run-up to the event, but IGN has gone one step further than everyone else, insisting that Microsoft will be showing the hotly anticipated sequel in video form at the show next month.
The site is reporting that it's received confirmation that Halo 3 will be shown at Microsoft's E3 conference on May 9 from "independent sources who recently spoke with Microsoft executives." While these sources didn't divulge details on what exactly would be in the video, they apparently said that it would be two minutes in length.
Microsoft was unavailable for comment on the report at the time of writing, but if it said anything other than the usual "We do not comment on internet rumour and speculation", we'd almost feel the need to run around in large party hats blowing tooters.
