Linkage.

343 Industries To Oversee All Halo Products
New internal division at Microsoft will be giving the thumbs up or down.


So is this a good thing or a bad thing?

(Sorry if this is old but I think it's new)

have fun, be cool, relax

MS just wants to keep the cash flow coming, but i dont think its a bad thing, unless they start getting to involved and try to make major changes.

In Soviet Russia, Xbox plays you.

It's good,

They can oversea production on things such as Movies (Halo: Legend) and have the finally say on anything related to Halo. I was a bit skeptical at first too, but when I found out Frankie was the Creative Director of the studio, I now have faith in them.

Bungie's making a Halo game. Will 343 stand in their way? No.

MS saved Halo from being mediocre at best. Find the E3 video from before they took over.

I agree that with Frankie there it should be alright, as long as they don't start pressuring Bungie into releasing the game at a certain date.

As long as they don't go the direction of the COD franchise and make a game a year with very little changes inbetween.

Frankie is there. I have faith.

This is nothing new. They've simply attached a name to a group within the company that will manage the Halo franchise. Microsoft already had the final say on all things relating to the franchise for several years before the emergence of 343 Industries. I've said this a hundred times on this forum: Microsoft owns Halo. That's not a figure of speech. They literally have legal ownership of the Halo intellectual property, and they have had it for some time now.

It's really bad. All this milking is ruining the franchise.

All this milking? What? Hmmmmm..... 4 Halo Games = Milked. Oh, now I understand. I'm so stupid.

Signatures are for squares.

I'm so sick of hearing people say Microsoft is "Milking" Halo. Just because there is alot of something doesn't mean it's being milked.

You want milked? Tell that to Mario and his OVER 250 GAMES.

Or Link, in his OVER 100 games. (Appeared in)

Seriously, Microsoft IS NOT MILKING HALO.




On topic, As long as Frankie is in charge, I've got faith.

Halo 3 action figures
Potential Movie
Halo 1
Halo 2
Halo 3
Odst
Recon
the Peter Jackson one
Potential Anime
Game Fuel

There's going to be more.

It should have been 1, 2, 3 and that's it. Too much of a good thing is always bad, and its always wise to quit while you're ahead.


You forgot the upcoming RC Warthog that your Avatar can drive. Plus Halo waypoint.

WTF is recon? Do you mean Reach? How are action figures milking? Everything has action figures!!! Every good video game is supposedly having a movie made about it. About half of that stuff is called marketing, not milking.

This is my list of Halo things.
Halo 1
Halo 2
Halo 3
Halo 3: ODST
Halo: Reach
Halo Wars

So far 5 games and an expansion game in ten years. Yup, it's milked.

How is it being milked for 5 games and an expansion, the games are all quality. It's not like there is a new halo every year. No, it's every THREE years, and we always get Quality games, so stop complaining about it.

Refer back to my last post.

Sorry, I meant Reach. I was watching Ellen. Also, stop being a dumbass fanboy. It's obviously milked.

I don't know what came over me. I'm sorry, I can now see that it's milked. Your well thought out reason that it is milked is what finally showed me the light. I'm glad I met you today in your infinite wisdom.

Guys keep it on-topic...

I always knew MS had control over Halo I just thought that they'd let Bungie get on with the game and not interfere much.
