Well, as we all know, MS own full rights to the Halo franchise now - Bungie have little or nothing to do with it.

Surely, if Bungie do not own the franchise then the franchise is not in their universe?

Not trying to come across as ignorant or troll-like, but I'm just wondering whether is it actually part of the Bungie universe?

Well the word "universe" generally pertains to anything related to the subject matter. So I would say Halo 4 is definitely a part of the Bungie universe.

Bungie has nothing to do with the development of the game as far as I know though.

Of course it would be because Halo was Bungie's idea so it would pretty much be in the Bungie universe, i just hope they'll release a beta really soon over the summer!

I respect Frankie but I am saddened that Bungie is not making anymore Halo games. I really hope 343 can provide the type of stat tracking that Bungie has shown us over the years in addition to great Halo games.

Hello! I'm a male!

From my guess they're going to a "shield world" made by the forerunners ... So no XD It'll probably be part of the graphic novel Haloverse ....

Halo Waypoint is there to continue the work of B.Net.

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

No, this isn't part of Bungie's universe anymore. The question remains if Bungie will allow canon discussion with the new Halo trilogy in these forums.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Well you could argue that spiritually Halo will and always is a part of Bungie.

Just because they don't have the rights to Halo 4 it's still, in a very loose sense a continuation to their canon from H3.

So in that very wafflely and cheesy theme above ^. You could argue that the discussion to H4 and and other 343i products of the "Halo" series are worth discussion over here.

who cares as long as they dont do something stupid with master chief or something really really stupid like kill him or cortana gets killed or they lose her again and have to find her again

  • 06.06.2011 3:22 PM PDT

I'm starting to thank that it's silly for us to believe that Bungie won't influence, in some way, the development of the new trilogy.

LIES. Nearly everything he's headed has been canonical garbage! He knows less about Halo than my friend who hates Halo... by a long shot.
