According to a new job listing posted at Microsoft, Halo is about to get way more social.
We can't say for sure what that means, but it could be anything from a more robust online setup, with all of the stat tracking you love but with added MySpace elements, all the way to being in constant touch with the Halo community via a mobile phone or some sort of magical Zune device.
Here's a clip from the posting itself:
"We have an ambitious task ahead, taking the current Halo community and online gaming support system and bringing it to the next level.
"We're looking to blend console, web, and mobile to create an immersive Halo world that follows the dedicated Halo fan wherever they go. We need engineers that can build connected technology while working in a startup environment."
