Subject: So, who actually created the Halo series?

I am not talking the games, but Halo itself. The story, the characters. I've been trying to find out, but every google search just brings me to "halo was made by bungie and microsoft".

"I may not be perfect, but always been true."

It was created by Bungie, all of it.

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

A lot of concepts are derived from Larry Niven's Ringworld (brilliant book, by the way) and other franchises like Aliens. But the bottom line is that Bungie created the Halo universe, it is their creation - not anyone else's.

Someone must have come up with the idea though and then they all formed the story together.

"I have no words that would do justice to the atrocities you commit to the English language, as well as your continued assaults on the concepts of basic literacy and logical reasoning."

The project lead/creative director of Halo: CE was Jason Jones, but like all video games, it was a hugely collaborative endeavor of everyone at Bungie.

Who does the voice to Master Chief though?

Just about every thing I post is my opinion and nothing more. Be subjective. Respect other's opinions. Try to understand other's point of view.

I'm assuming he's still the majority owner of Bungie?

Bungie created halo, full stop.

BUT remember too, that all scifi is derivative.

watch the credits. that's what they're there for.

Bungie created Halo - the fictional universe, storylines and characters.

However, Microsoft bought Bungie and gained ownership over the Halo IP. So, Halo is now the property of Microsoft.

In effect, that explains why Bungie were so intent on retaining ownership over their next IP - or big action universe - rather than letting Activision take control. And they succeeded. The next ten years of Bungie will be decided by the dedicated employees, not corporate businessmen.
