no.. i hope your kiding.. i'm going to commite suiside..
why on earth would bungie stop halo...
i'm no fortune teller but i can tell you that halo from 343 industries is going to be ****...
:'(
How do you know this? 343i has hired ex Bungie employees and notable members from the community (BS Angel). They also are the people behind Cryptum and Evolutions. Personally I have high hopes for 343.
Meh, I don't really consider Cryptum or Evolutions to be any significant achievement on 343's belt. I mean yes they were published under 343's watch, but it's still too early in their career as the guardians of Halo, imo, for anything really definite to be discerned about them and their treatment of Halo.
Right now the only truly significant things they have going for them are Halo Legends, which people either seem to love or hate, and the Waypoint.
I have a lot of trust in 343 because they have former Bungie members as high ranking employees, but I still think it's a little early in their career to decide anything truly definite or concrete about them.
Well put, but I would give them more credit for Evolutions than Legends. With Legends they just gave some notable anime studios a story bible and said have fun. Frankie wrote one of the stories for Evolutions, and Nylund co wrote one making the collection closer to the heart of 343i than Legends. They also have the Defiant map pack, which I don't have yet, but it looked like it was closer to "book canon" than Reach.
But you are correct that we won't be able to truly judge 343i for a little while, probably until they publish their own game. Until then I stay hopeful.
True, true, Evolutions we can probably chalk up as all them, Cryptum on the other hand, I'm not so sure about :P It could just as easily be all Bungie's work as 343's or any mix of the two.
Eh, I personally don't see why the Defiant Map Pack is such a big deal canon wise, it's just more locales from around Reach to me, two of which happen to be the from the book instead of the game. It's not like it added a whole new campaign or something like that :/
I certainly am looking forward to what they will do, and yes, I don't think we'll really be able to get any completely accurate picture of them and their potential until they actually make a game of their own.
