Subject: 343 claims to be CREATORS of the halo franchise.

"I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart."

So out of curiosity i head over to 343i.com

And what i saw in the tab heading p***ed me off phenomenally.

it states:343 industries-The creators of the Halo franchise.

Are they serious??

They are the OWNERS of the halo franchise now,they did NOT create it,what the hell is wrong with them?

Bungie are the creators of the halo franchise.

This is an out right disgusting LIE and i dont see why or how a game company could slander the halo franchise as so,they need to take that title off immediatley and apoligize to Bungie and the fans for their extreme stupidity.

Bungie fans know who created Halo and that's all that matters.

It does seem strange that 343 would say they created the series.

Probably ticks off a couple of folks in Bellevue.
Shishka was probably behind it.

Internet black magic. 343 wouldn't be stupid enough to make such a claim. Don't trust that website, it is just masking the actual url and site header, something which you will see is painfully obvious once you try navigating the website (note the url remains unchanged).

You say tomato; I say potato.

Well, each game would be considered a franchise under an IP created by Bungie. This means that 343i is in fact the creator of the franchise.

Consider building and owning a McDonalds location. You didn't create the brand, you created the franchise.

I don't always ban people but when I do I laugh uncontrollably...that's if I was a Forum Ninja.

Truth is a matter of perception.

It isn't owned by 343i. Was registered by someone in the UK.

Who know? Maybe Frankie was the one who came up with the whole thing behind the scenes. Maybe he was Content Monkey, Writer, and programmer all in one.

Don't trust such sites. 343 nor Frank O'Connor would say that

What spectagon are you in?

It's pretty ridiculous that people are trying to manufacture some sort of divide between Bungie and 343. In reality Bungie and 343 are very close there's no bad blood between them and I don't see any reason why there should be any bad blood between the two communities.

Halo CE- Amazing
Halo 2- Revolutionary
Halo 3- Masterpiece
Halo Reach- The Black Sheep of the bunch
Halo 4- Incredible

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

How could you realistically believe that the company who has shown nothing but humility and grace throughout this transitional process of ownership would EVER make such a heinous claim? They would never be that stupid.

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

That is -blam-.

343i is a joke, they think they are so cool becuase they are remaking Halo CE exactly as Bungie made it.

Their forums suck and if you have a different opinion or an idea they lock your thread, delete it, to merge it with another thread that has nothing to do with what you are talking about.

You ask for change, they say no.

Halo will always be the best when Bungie had control becuase Bungie actually knows what they are doing and you can't beat the people who made the series.

343i, ehh, they are making Halo COD, they are making Halo to sell money now which I don't like.

Halo 6, really?

You're making some pretty wild claims there. Read below, all is ok.

For the record, lots of Bungie workers went on to 343. Also bungie and 343 are seen as friends and it can be a joke.
Actually only a few Bungie workers went to 343, I think, Frankie is just a highly recognizable one.

I hope it is a joke.

idk, I have bad experiences on the 343i forums when I go.

Many people there are super elitist, and the moderation team has a habit of abusing their power.

Bungie.net has the forums for me.

Game companies are not the same as game communities. And we are more elitist thank you very much.

You would be surprised, if you come from Bungie.net, they hate you at 343i.

They think we are retarded trolls becuase they ONLY look at posts in the Reach forum and say that is the entire community.

It is annoying listening to this becuase we are all Halo fans and we act divided.

Some people there also hate Bungie for some reason (which I don't understand becuase without Bungie there wouldn't be any halo games and they wouldn't be there).
