Bungie kicks A$$!

I think its a fall for halo. Just look at how halo wars turned out NOT GOOD. I think Bungie should make a possible halo 4 and end it their. I also heard that halo 4 is coming out but bungie wont be making it.

Many of the key people who helped make Halo what it is are going to work at 343 industries. Its not like its a bunch of noob programmers that are going to turn Halo into Viva Pinata.

Believe.

Oh, I want to. Believe me.
Just seeing what they've done with Halo Wars, and come on it's M$, I have plenty of reason to think they aren't going to do this right. At least as you say there will be people from Bungie having a hand in this.

I was on the side of, Bungie's refusal to keep making games for this title. They chose not to, and for good reason. No sense in running it into the ground. If they can keep making it better and newer, then let them. But they've pretty much nailed it. It can only be downhill from here.

If Bungie decides to come back to make a Halo 4 someday with to explain the ending of Halo 3 then, by all means let them. But they need to wait, a while, a very long while. Think of how long it took Blizzard to come out with a StarCraft 2. They nailed it on the first go. In making another, it would have to be as good as but better.


It's hard to improve upon perfection.

It sure wasn't Halo though, and that's what i have a problem with. And for the genre of game, it was a not so great RTS either. Made me think of one of those cheap rip-off flash games on the internet that high schoolers play during their computer classes.

You should get a PC and play a real RTS like Starcraft, Command and Conquer, or Homeworld.
Halo Wars... in my "opinion", was total crap.

I will admit that I've never been a big RTS fan. But thats the reason I liked Halo Wars. On a console dominated by shooters, it did very well. It was innovative and original. Although, I will will admit, its multiplayer was lacking. It was a very good game, considering how bad it could have been.

  • 10.23.2009 10:26 AM PDT

You guys realize Bungie actually helped on Halo wars right? They helped advise on somethings and help put some things in. Basicly being a project lead for the game.

By trashing halo wars you are trashing bungie. I mean I agree that Halo wars is not up to Halo level. But it is halo, its just a different version, and legendary is alot harder in that game then in ODST and Halo 3.

Frank O'Connor and alot of old Bungie employees who helped create this great franchise work with 343, if anything I would expect Halo 4 to be better then all previous halo games since it has some of the original people.

Only a matter of time will tell.


So how about dat dem dare halo movie picture.

In my opinion Halo Wars was an awesome game, I think people didnt like it only because it was not a FPS, thats the genre that people are used to seeing Halo in. When you take a game thats been around for that long in a specific form and give it another form people are just going to dismiss it as a horrible game. The sad thing about Halo Wars is that Halo fans reject it because it wasnt a typical Halo game, and the RTS community is a very picky bunch. Dont get me wrong Im getting Starcraft 2 the day it comes out, me being a starcraft junkie during high school and even now, but to dismiss Halo Wars is a flat out ignorant move. Oh, and Halo:Reach wont probably Bungie's last Halo game. It might be there last one for a long time, But I definately see them coming back after their new IP launches and becomes great (Lets face it, it will be great its bungie for Gods sake)and make another great continuation story for Halo.

Yes it is spelt like that on purpose.

Ok my first point to make is that Halo Wars is a solid RTS. Sure it wasn't the most innovative or most involved but for an RTS on a console it was pretty dam good. It wasn't too complex but had enough depth to work and especially well for a console RTS. No offense to C&C but the control scheme for Halo Wars worked better than any RTS I have seen on a console thus far. Just because all previous Halo games have been FPS dosen't mean the hardcore/only FPS players should dismiss Halo Wars as a bad game automatically. I personally love FPS but I am also a fan of other genres like RTS and I believe the hardcore FPS people should really try and branch out a bit.

But anyways as for Reach being the last Halo game Bungie makes, that dosen't mean Bungie is done with the Halo story arch. They could easily make a game set in the Halo universe that isn't named Halo. Also as someone already mentioned, 343 Industries probably will pick up the Halo helm and probably make a really good Halo game. Seeing as some of the people who worked on previous Halo games work there.

halo wars is halo its just from commander keys point of view moving around squads instead of personally blowing up a covenant strong hold you order a platoon on spartans to do it.

Halo Wars wasnt made my Bungie and halo Reach will be a fps.

"1) Halo Wars Wasn't an FPS
2) Halo Wars was a great game in its own genre
3) 343 Industries didn't make Halo wars.

You can't say that 343 industries wont do good and bring Halo wars to back it up. Halo wars had nothing to do with it.
"

Thank you for bringing that up. This thread is full of idiots (with the exception of you and two others).

To those idiots:

I would like to point out that Bungie is making Halo: Reach.

Ensemble = Halo Wars

Bungie = Halo CE, Halo 2, Halo 3, Halo: Reach, possibly more in the future

343 Industries = Other future projects but, to my knowledge, they have not made a game yet. To say they are bad before producing anything is completely stupid.
I would also like to point out that it is made up of several important former Bungie members. Think of them as "Bungie # 2"

Lemme show you...

"My fellow Americans. Today, XX.XX.XXXX, Bungie has released it's last Halo game. Although 343 will take over, they will never be the same. This being said
*waits for telepromter...*
...Halo will now be played during school as means of fun, NOT study."

Eh, I can dream, can't I?

Comparing Halo Wars to future releases by this title, is a legitimate argument. Bungie does Halo. There was so much about the look and feel of Halo Wars that just didn't line up with the what I've come to know as Halo. Why? why was it so different? Because a different studio produced it.

And no Halo Wars was not "great" in it's own genre.
Definition of "great"

4.)wonderful; first-rate; very good
5.)being such in an extreme or notable degree
6.)notable; remarkable; exceptionally outstanding
7.)important; highly significant or consequential
8.)distinguished; famous

Halo Wars was NOT great. I'm not sure how you can say that unless you don't know what a real RTS is like.
Saying it's great in it's genre would be like comparing it to something like Starcraft. It's been around over ten years, and is still played heavily.

It cheapened and changed the epic sci-fi created by this studio and it's fiction. Bungie has opted out of making more Halo games for the time being, because Halo has had it's day. And it was a good day. They left it open at the end for more, in case they ever wanted to come back to this title someday down the road. The idea of M$ milking the franchise with their own production studio is appalling. M$ will make a Halo 4 and possibly a five and six, and it will go on and on and on as this commercial machine.
Bungie did it first and did it right. An endless supply of sequels, will only kill it.

We can hope for 343 to do good to the title, but with M$ reputation I am very skeptical. Just the fact that Bungie has refused to make Halo 4 and M$ taking it upon themselves. Is just milking the cow.

And no one ever said Reach was being made by someone else. To say we're all idiots and that we don't know what we're talking about, is in itself ignorant and idiotic not to mention arrogant.
