There are many points here that I can agree with. But I for one think that Bungie has a good chance to hold their place as the best game developer on the planet with the release of Halo: Reach. I have been playing Halo since the Xbox 1 shipped with the Halo: Combat Evolved. Halo 2 was definitely a stumble for them because they simply did not have enough time to complete the master piece it should have been.
Enter Halo 3 - many new weapons / armor / vehicles / Forge / and the list goes on. But here Bungie got it right, sure the story was short but still arguably the best title for Xbox 360.
Seeing how they regained so much ground after the H2 stumble in H3, I am completely excited to play another new Halo game from Bungie.
I have never played ONI (because I don't play games for Playstation) so I can not comment on this but I would gladly pay for it and play it if it came out for xbox 360 / natal / PC for one reason only - BUNGIE
As for the titanic metaphor, I do not feel that it is right to compare Halo Wars to any of the Halo games made by Bungie. I will not personally buy or play Halo Wars because even though Bungie had a part in the game, it's not their game and I would rather not have the same opinion as the OP in this matter.
It seems entirely likely that they will continue making great games, but they have already said that without M$ they will be able to produce a new IP (or possibly bring one back i.e. Marathon / ONI) so I would not consider their fate so predetermined.
And to sgtpickle777-
I rather hope that M$ doesn't drag Halo down the -blam-er but I'm not sure I agree with your CoD4 statement, WWII games are so played out after countless no name games (Including Call of Duty) that tried to capitalize on the genre at the time. CoD4 was the breath of fresh air the series needed to become a giant near (or larger) than the Halo monster. WaW was a mediocre game at best and only looked that good because it was built off the MW engine.

Yes, as soon as Bungie stops with Halo games Halo will go down the drain.
Sad, because that is two of my favorite series that I am losing interest in.
After Reach, I don't expect myself to buy another Halo title.
Modern Warfare ruined CoD for me. I was glad about WaW, but it doesn't match up to CoD 3.
I totally agree with you 2. Except srgnt pickle777 cause i had no care for Cod at all. I think of Cod being a jetpack trying to fly higher than halo. It didnt do 2 good at first but modwar was like there missing engine that immetiately made it sour into the sky. WaW was like the nitro fuel that kept it going. And now CoD6 is an advanced engine that might take out halo (MIGHT...)
