Subject: Halo in a post-Bungie world?

As a HUGE Halo fan, I'm curious (and a bit upset) about a few things in these new times for Halo, as I'm sure many of us are. Now, with all the ranting and raving going on about this sort of stuff lately, I wanted to ask the community:

1. Will Halo still feel like Halo under 343?

2. Is the staff change between Bungie and 343 THAT much greater than the staff changes within Bungie between past Halo games? (thats a direct question, I'm seriously not sure) I've heard in some places that there are quite a few ex-Bungie Halo veterans in 343i, but in other places I've also heard thats its just a few, and most hadn't even been with Bungie that long. I only know they've at least got ol' Marty O'Donnell.

Make choices, and don't look back.

1. No one can answer this until we see something.

2. I remember an employee stating that you could count the ex Bungie employees at 343 on one hand.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

1. If Microsoft knows what they're doing they will. But it's entirely unknown exactly how much is going to change.

2. Yes, if I'm not mistaken there's only about three or four Bungie employees over at 343. Also, Bungie's got Marty, for the simple fact that he's the Elder, and old people are smart.

Thanks man, and yea I was thinking the same about the first question, I was just curious what kind of speculation other fans may have.

Thanks for the info, and to answer #2: Totally. For some reason I recall seeing Marty's name on pretty much everything Halo-related lol.

"You dead yet? No? You will be!"

"How you like them pears? Guess what I mean by pears."

"I'm gonna rip off his partridge and kick him in the pear tree!"

Post-Bungie? This is not the end! It is not even the beginning of the end. It is perhaps, the end of the beginning!

The Marty Army is growing. Soon, it will rival those of third world countries.

Lmao thanks for the optimism BFS50. I know and I'll continue to be a bungie fan, but I just mean he end of Bungie being behind Halo.

Uh-Oh, a world domination plan to rival that of Bungie!?!?

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

First the 7th column and now Marty Army?
