I know they're moving on to bigger and better things, but it's still sad. They've worked on Halo for a long time, and now it ended. I don't know if I should feel happy or sad 343's making Halo 4, 5, and 6.

This is a bittersweet moment I guess. But I know I'll be with them every step of the way.

Bungie Rules!

Hey, how's it going?

It's a bundle of mixed feelings for me.

Sad:
Left Halo
Employees leaving Bungie

Happy:
Bungie teaming up with Activision
Some employees who left went to 343i
The Chief's story is continued!(not by Bungie though)

All I could think of!

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Not really...I think this is a glorious opportunity (and challenge) for Bungie to create something new and grand that everyone will enjoy. Halo is getting old rusty. I'm sure Bungie said their goodbyes years ago or recently. They've probably moved on by now, as the next IP is most likely making them very excited.

I'm glad to see Bungie leave Halo. They deserve to make new games for its core fans.

I felt sadder when they didnt continue the ONI series, I love halo but having more ONI games would of been pretty sweet as well.

I think it's a great time to move on and create something new. Even though I liked Reach, I think it was one Halo game too many.

I'm pretty happy for Bungie being able to just move on to a new project. It's a bit overdue.

That's something to be happy about?

Most comments seem to give this overall feel; It is sort of sad, but we're excited to see what Bungie can do with a brand new opportunity.

And I guess I agree with that.

I'm glad to see them start something new, the halo series was being stretched out for a bit too long, it's better they leave with their heads held high and move on to better projects.

Why wouldn't it be? Activision has been a pretty successful cross-platform publisher, which opens up new options for Bungie. They've also got a better deal with Activision than most developers get, so they keep more control of themselves. And that's both more control that Activision usually gives and more control than they had with Microsoft as a publisher. It's a good step forward.

Outside of typical turnover, I'm pretty sure that's not the case.

No, ExcessiveFaun6 is not my real gamertag.

Cortana: The message just repeats. "Regret, Regret, Regret."
Miranda: Any idea what it means?
Sgt. Johnson: Dear Humanity... we regret being alien bastards. We regret coming to Earth. And we most definitely regret that the Corps just blew up our raggedy-ass fleet!
Marines: Hoo-rah!

The most depressing part for me is the lack of forum goodness from Bungie employees...nothing good for me to read at work anymore :(

...for the mean time :)
