I just don't understand, you say you aren't going to do any more Halo games and that you were going "to move on to bigger and better things." But somehow you manage to do all these little pointless spin-offs. Don't get me wrong, I love Halo and Halo is my favorite game and I was really looking forward to Halo 4. But instead you put all this effort into 2 other Halo games that will not even come close to selling more than Halo 4 would have combined. Sure I'm greatful that you guys are still working on the Halo franchise but I don't get it. And plus, don't you think your milking Halo with all these spin-offs?

They said they wouldn't continue the Halo Trilogy. This isn't continuing the Halo trilogy.

if knowledge is power and power corrupts, isn't knowledge therefore dangerous?

Well how did Microsoft get the rights to Halo? Did Bungie and them have an agreement?

If you don't know who I am, the feeling is mutual.

Probably. Microsoft wouldn't give up the one franchise that essentialy gave the original Xbox a hope of surivival.

Why won't they let Bungie continue what they want. Obviously Bungie knows what they're doing. They made it this far.

And you don't think that Bungie would of made money for Microsoft if they were to do a Halo 4 or whatever it is they wanted to do?

First off, Bungie didn't want to do a Halo 4. They are done with Master Chief's story.

Secondly, this is how Microsoft got Bungie.
1. Bungie develops Halo for the Mac.
2. Microsoft sees that Halo has potential and buys Bungie plus the Halo IP.
3. Bungie makes Halo for the Xbox for Microsoft.
4. Bungie makes Halo 2 for the Xbox for Microsoft.
5. Bungie makes Halo 3 for the Xbox 360 for Microsoft.
6. Bungie makes enough money with Halo 3, that they buy themselves back.
7. Bungie does not settle on an agreement for gaining rights to the Halo IP.
8. Microsoft owns the Halo IP.

End of story.

Really you don't get it if you watch the end of the last halo 3 campaign he is floating in outer space with cortana and goes to sleep in a sleep chamber so I don't understand why they wouldn't a halo 4?

  • 06.30.2009 7:30 PM PDT

I was in 5th grade. I popped in the Halo CE disc into the massive, clunky first generation Microsoft Xbox, and wrapped my small hands around the controller that was almost too big for me. Little did I know what I was getting into.

10+ years later, I still look up to my childhood hero, Master Chief, while everyone talks about He Man and Spongebob haha

What ticks me off is that even though they aren't continuing the trilogy, they didn't want to end it either and give us a solid ending!

Screw the Halo 2-esque mystery ending!

Oh well, I suppose it's for the best...as novel writers might continue on the story where Halo 3 left off.

Wow, thank you. You're the first 2 persons that have ever agreed with me on this. The rest of you are like spell-bound by Bungie or something. Just because Bungie does something, you think it's the best idea, even though you know Halo 4 would make more sense and I know everyone would be stoked if there wasHalo 4.

Are you serious? Bungie has a fantastic FPS track record (duh), Marathon and Halo are both FANTASTIC series.

Where's that quote where Bungie said at Emerald City that Halo 3 wasn't the end of the series, and that they're planning on finishing Master Chief & Cortana's story.

  • 06.30.2009 7:57 PM PDT

Bungie said Halo: Reach=Halo 4. They have same importance. Halo: Reach will sell BIG. There is even a possibility it breaks Halo 3's first day/first week sales.

Halo Reach won't outsell Halo 3 unless they can beat Halo 3's trailers; they were too cool!

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

It Is during the fall of reach. That game is going to be epic compared to the other games considering how massive of a battle it was. If I recall correctly, more then 100 covenate warships, 5 massive orbital mac cannons, an UNSC fleet (forget ship count), and massive ground conflict with about 20 spartans on the ground fighting.

"Dear Bungie.net, we regret being stubborn bastards, we regret coming to this forum, and we most definitely regret that Darth Kooky blew up our raggedy-ass opinion!"

-Bungie sold the rights to Halo a little while after splitting from Microsoft.
-Halo 4 will never happen...what? Did you expect Chief to retire? No. He'll be there if you need him and if they ever do decide to bring him back, they've made that possible to do.
-Halo 3: ODST will be awesome.
-Shishka has to make Halo stuff until 2011.
-Everyone not working on Reach is working on non-Halo titles.
-Stop complaining.
-"You have no rights, play nice."

(Oh, and...Caboose wins!!!)
