Have you ever heard steven spielbergs quote about E.T when he was asked why he didnt make a second E.t he basically said he wants it to stay known as good movie and not watering it down with more movies.
That's because you can't make a decent sequel/prequel out of ET. The story's pretty much been wrapped up. There would be no potential for another good ET film. This is because ET was a singular story, designed to open and close on its own without leaving a door open for a sequel. The Halo series on the other hand has tons of backstory and potential for more content, because its background is so huge. You could make loads of games based on the war we've seen in the Halo franchise so far. The same goes for things like Star Wars and Terminator. There is a lot you can do with the story and background of those two franchises, which is why masses and masses of comic books, novels, and video games have been made out of them (Less so for the Terminator series). Fair enough, some examples might have been bad, but that all comes down to the skill of the people making them.
Good stuff can come out of old franchises, and besides which, Bungie aren't the type to milk their own work. They put too much effort and care into it in the first place.
