Subject: Will Reach be the Last Halo game?

Potential the game after Reach could be the last Halo game. Here's why:

They are now talking about the Bungie name separate from HaloQ: Are you concerned about growing competition for players' time online?

A: Absolutely. We look at our competition as the entertainment industry in fact, not just other games. You saw that with Halo 3, where we pushed it to become the largest entertainment launch of all time. I think we're going to sell a lot of boxes not just because it says Halo on the box but because it's a Bungie game and the strongest marketing vehicle for us, the strongest intent to buy, has always come from word of mouth - from people who play the game, who want to play it with their friends, who tell their friends it's awesome. That has historically been the case with Bungie games - they built a strong community of people who played it and loved to play it who pulled their friends in. That's the way we hire most of our employees.

Q: It's interesting how you're mentioning Bungie like that. Are you now trying to raise the profile of the studio? Is this a step toward additional games beyond Halo and saying hey, we're not just 'Halo, we're Bungie'?

A: Yeah, definitely. When you go back to the divestiture from Microsoft, that was when we started paying more attention to the Bungie brand. It means something - there's now an existing game, Halo Wars, that wasn't built by Bungie. There's a big difference in the success - in sales, in the review numbers of the title. The Ensemble guys (who made Halo Wars) are great guys, they did a great job with what they did, but I don't think they made a Bungie game. They didn't build a game with a community that carried it.

I see the urge to move on away from halo and try something else

As long as microsoft gets the cash, i think that halo will still be alive. I think there is so much more that can be done.

they have to continue the story from halo 3.what i think is that the flood on delta halo ( from halo 2) disabled the ring from firing and still have an aircraft of some sort and start to infest every planet in the galaxy meanwhile with no reson to fight the remaining
covenent settle in some planet that later becomes threatened by the flood at the same time the Earth is threatened so the earth's military join the covenant and fight during that war Earths forces recieve the distress call from Master Cheif and Cortana and rescue them and put them into battle.

thats all i've got this could be halo 4 or there could be a halo about the forruner-flood war.

It would be nice to see what else Bungie is capable while still making more halo games. Dip their toes into a different plot maybe?

No. Microsoft knows that Halo sells, hence why ODST is priced at $60, but I'm not going to get into that. Microsoft would be stupid to abandon the Halo series.

I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Halo: The Board Game, in the near future.

I don't think so. If Reach Does well, they're could be story about the Spartan in the shield world. OR a Forerunner story or etc

I'd love to be a 10 year old and tell my mom I'm going on an adventure out into the world catching Pokemon, with her full support. Never mind the fact that there are rapists, criminals, and murders out there, or the fact that I may get killed by a Pokemon.

Luckily I have Pikachu.

There are atleast two other Halo games being developed right now, Halo Chronicles and of course Frankies team at Microsoft is working on another Halo aswell.

  • 07.02.2009 3:25 PM PDT

Yeah but Chronicles is on an indefinite hold as of now to my knowledge.
I've been wrong before, once, which was the first time I said "I've been wrong before."

I suck for now. Thanx to my balls.

A forerunner story would be great, considering little light is shed on them. Or possibly a game where you play as the early Covenany as a mercenary like the heritic leader in halo 2.

@OP: If you mean any Halo game from any developer, of course there are going to be more. If you mean more Halo games from Bungie, I sure hope so.

Actually I didn't think about it that way. Like I've been saying the Halo name is worth so much you could make millions on Master Chief undies, but I think Bungie wants to expand at least from the interview I've read. If they did actually step away from the Halo name, they could make bank off selling its trademark right now. It would probably wouldn't be a bad idea, I think right now is the peak of Halo, sell, sell, sell. plus it would be interesting to see what else they could cook up.
