Subject: Will Bungie's new IP make any small references to Halo?

If you're a dedicated Bungie fan i'm sure you'll know that Bungie love to make references to other IPs which they have made. Marathon and Oni are referenced in Halo for instance.

Well i just wondering, will Bungie be able reference Halo at all in their upcoming game? Seeing as how they don't actually own that IP.

I'm a lead farmer, mother lover!

I doubt it, for the exact reason you stated - They don't own the Halo IP anymore. Selling the rights to Microsoft (as part of their contract to leave Microsoft and be their own developer), completely outs them from allowing to use anything related from the Halo Universe. That is, unless they have platform exclusive content, in which case they may be able to bid Microsoft to place a Halo concept into it (Such as a Spartan character model or something akin for whatever they decide to do).

as long as they make the references vague enough they should be able to get away with it.

I think they will
