So what happened? Wasn't it made pretty clear that there wouldn't be any more Halo games from Bungie after ODST? Am I missing something?

I've never known Bungie to outright lie about anything in the past but here's the project page for Halo: Reach on Bungie.net

EDIT: Aaaaaand.....of course Bungie didn't lie. But they did pull a little slight of hand.

I read somewhere that this is the last Halo game Bungie is making. Say it isn't so!

We're not ready to discuss the other projects underway within the studio right now but Halo 3 : Recon does represent the final basket of goodness that we will be delivering for the Halo trilogy. There are no more offshoots or side stories in the works.


So, Halo: Reach is NOT part of the Halo trilogy but it IS a Bungie project in the Halo universe. Fooled again.

Bungie's always tricking people-they also said there was "nothing you could do in the game" to get recon, even though now all you need are a few achievements unlocked..

Tou thought wrong!
Obviously! LOL

But wasn't that a pretty official statement? It sure seemed as though they were putting all speculation to bed when they declared there would be no more Halo games from Bungie studios after Halo 3:ODST.

-Carrick

this is bungie! they're like chuck norris. they decide what "no more games after ODST" means. and it means "we'll say we're making no more games after but put a secret team in to surprise everyone with awesomeness"

HELL YEAH!

halo reach isnt made by bungie...its by a microsoft select team. bungie could be just overlooking the production

  • 06.01.2009 12:35 PM PDT

ISU Cyclones!

I was under the impression ODST was it too but...

Well it looks like the other SPARTANs will finally get their chance to shine and it'll all the better since Bungie will be the ones making sure they get their due.

Two important things to remember:
- Your character is a result of your conduct.
- Sense of humour trumps common sense everytime.

What they said was that they wouldn't be doing a Halo 4. I think.
Great, now I'm all confused face.

Based on the speculation that this'll be a prequel, they didn't lie that they're not doing a continuation after Halo 3.

Huzzah for loopholes!

Don't make statements like that without any proof. There was a Bungie logo present on the Reach trailer.

i guess you didn't watch E3...

  • 06.01.2009 12:37 PM PDT

THEY LIED!

Which means Halo 4 isn't an impossibility anymore.

  • 06.01.2009 12:38 PM PDT

This has probably been in the works longer then ODST.

But It's bungie there would of been no shock if they said something like..

"Oh yea you can expect another halo game in about another 1/2 years sorry for the wait!"

I've never known Bungie to outright lie about anything in the past.

"You can't have our Recon"

They say stuff to get our hopes down, just so we get really excited when they whip out their new stuff. So far, it works great. Just like giving Recon for the Vidmasters.
