Bungie is a gamer's game company. They will always be making awesome new titles. While the creativity well will never run dry, they have a whole whack of older titles to bring into this generation.
Where's that Marathon remake B?

Ummmm . . . they've been making games for over a decade, what makes you think they'd stop after making Halo? (Don't ever say such a thing!) And remember, Bungie is an entity, the poeple that make it come and go. (apologies for any mistakes I may make with my info) For example, Greg Kirkpatrick was a big force in marathon: he wrote much of the story and made many of the levels. But that doesn't mean that without him, Halo didn't have a good story ;) I think he now works for Wideload, which promises great stories. Hmmmm ;)

Also, I'm not sure if you ever remember hearing about Phoenix. It was one of the games that bungie was working on after(during?) Halo was released. It was a medieval RTS game. Eventually they said they were having trouble making it fun so they dropped it, and the team was more than willing to join Halo 2. Bungie has done many different types of games; i'm just more interested in seeing if the fanbase will allow them to make games in a different genre! But don't worry, whatever they do after Halo, it'll be good!

I think they will go on to bigger and better things in the world of gameing and in ten years bungie will still be here but halo will be old hat but I theink bungie will still go on no matter what game, or games they ever put out or ever will put out.

I heard in Pimps at Sea you can get characters from other xbox games and "pimp" them up. I want to do that to MC.

Bungie have always made games from the story first, its kinda the thing which is Bungie. Its kinda like the founding stone of the company where the story and the gameplay comes first. As for whats after Halo hmm, who knows. Myth was kinda its own genre, I keep wanting to call it an RTS but really it wasn't in the sense of C&C and things like that. But how it played was brillient, its multiplayer was lots of fun, and the story line was as classic as we come to expect from Bungie after the amazing story we got from Marathon. Whats the future got? who knows...Short term am sure we'll get another Halo after 2, as lets face it we'll need something for the XB2, and with that thing utterly obiliterating even the most tripped out PC out there, and more than capable of doing Jurassic Park style renders real time, maybe its the start of the time of photo realistic gaming? Maybe even with a new storyline, or maybe just with the completion of the current.

Bungie will be sooo big by then, they could focus on making dancing bear games, and noone would care, they would still buy the product...

So recon, any new info or confirmations on "the plan"?

P.S. I'd love to see them put out a real kickass RTS/RTT after Halo 2 and then start workin on stuff for the next-gen consoles.

P.S.S. I hope M$ goes into the handheld buisness along with sony and again the big N, I really wanna be able to play Halo wherever the hell I go!!! Really, even if it was an EXACT port of XBOX Halo, maybe they could just add the stuff they put on Halo PC or something, but I'd love to be able to play Halo during boring ass classes and -blam!-... or maybe just wherever you couldn't bring the immensely gigantic XBOX. Who's with me!!?

What will happen to Bungie after Halo?

More like is Bungie recognizing the right path?

Myself I think Bungie needs to write a extraordinary game engine, the one they use now has reached it’s limits (long ago)… there are so many ways to approach this… I better not start (rambling)… but it is the only way, looking at Epic or Valve these companies have already made HUGE marks on the game world horizon…

…the way Bungie works, only a very special engine will do… one that makes the story the backbone… most engines focus on the number of polygons or squeezing special functions out of the designated (hardware) platform… and are a pain to use…and if you see the new Unreal Engine 3 you understand that we are actually reaching a new level where graphics take a backseat… (not that they know it)

I do hope that Bungie recognizes this… anyway this is the only way to go… I have the plan, maybe Bungie will give me a job… I think it is very possible to make them the coolest soft-comp to work for… once that happens (and all the best in the field are working for you or banging at your door… (game) world is yours or Bungie is the World…

P.S. opportunities come, it is up to us to seize them! why are you here?

Except Halo wasn't meant to be Bungie's last game.
