Bungie wanted to become independent again and to do that they had to break from microsoft. Microsoft allowed it but they demanded to still have control over the halo francise. Bungie accepted this and they gave it to Microsoft which then formed 343 Industries to oversee all Halo related media.
This, but Bungie never gave over Halo in order to leave. From the start of their partnership Microsoft owned the rights to Halo. So when Bungie wanted to leave they left and MS retained the rights.
