Subject: I wonder how Bungie feels about leaving the Halo series?

Surely they must feel pretty disheartened at the fact that they're leaving something behind that took them 10 years to accomplish. I understand that some of the crew from Bungie will be staying to probably bang out some dents in Halo Reach's armor, or maybe think up some more maps for us along side 343i.

But I'm pretty sure we'll see them later on down the line when they're working with Activision. But more importantly, how do YOU feel about Bungie leaving the franchise?

Me? I admit, I'll be missing them a bit, but they aren't going to be gone forever. They're just gonna be on a long hiatus.

It's going to be weird for me to buy a Halo game that doesn't have Bungie's logo on the gamecase...

I hate you unless I'm drunk.

From their updates it sounds like they're excited in a way. They've been with Halo for 10years now. Their baby has grown up and they're letting it go, to move on to hopefully bigger and better things.

It IS kinda metaphoric, isn't it? Every parent has to let their child go and let it grow.

They seem to think its weird seeing someone else do all the work.

I didn't find it too weird buying Halo Wars.

that wasn't a real halo game.

Jokes, but at that point it didn't feel the same, it had new characters, new storyline, happened at a different time. It didn't feel that halo-esque to me.

Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

Them: "Finally! 343i can take care of everyone complaining about Armor Lock!"

Sounded like they were really excited to ditch Halo and move on.

It's like a gigantic snowball, rolling down a mountain, eating kids on the way.

I think they were fed up with Microsoft leaving a sour taste in their mouth about the future of the Halo franchise.

I can see why bungie wont make any more halo games. But why do they have to hand over Reach and Halo 3 to 343i as well?
It's not fair :(

Bungie does not own the rights to the Halo franchise, and hasn't for a decade.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

I remember all the starts to any Halo game would have bungie its not going to feel right.

Halo won't be the same without Bungie, ie all the easter eggs... I'll surely miss them.

But well, on the other hand I think it's good for them to move on with something else.

Yup. I hope 343i can do something close, though. I really want to feel that new Halo vibe feeling.

Bungie seemed like a proud parent watching their child go off to college.
Mostly, though, they seem really excited about moving forward with their next project.

"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age."

I'd be willing to bet they're stoked. They've been more or less chained to halo for 7 games now? I'm sure they'd never tell us how sick they got of trying to make the same combat seem fresh and new. I'm excited to see them do something else with their talents, creating new works, and I'd put money on the devs being in a similar boat.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

All of Bungie's old games are really no longer theirs.

Marathon- I believe the IP was sold.
Myth series- IP was sold.
Oni- Rockstar has it now *sniffles
Halo- It is 343i's baby to ruin.
