Why would Bungie be rivals with 343?

343 made Defiant. (Edit, whoops. Not quite. Certain Affinity did.)

They are companies. 343 is Bungie's little brother. Why would they be rivals?

343 Industries was created a couple years ago to handle the Halo franchise.

They aren't rivals. That term doesn't fit the least bit.

1. Why would Bungie and 343i be rivals, they worked together before back in Halo: CE.

2. 343i made the Defiant Map Pack for Reach, Bungie made the Noble Map Pack. Also, 343i now owns Halo.

1. No. 343 Industries only began when Bungie split from Microsoft after Halo 3.

2. No they didn't make the Defiant Map Pack. Refer to my list above.

You're joking.. right?

MS created 343 to take care of the Halo industry when Bungie decided to depart from it.

Per Audacia Ad Astra

I'd say 343 Industries is Bungie's little brother, or even Bungie's baby.

Bungie's huge quantity of awesome produced their very own mate, the Halo franchise, and together they gave birth to 343 Industries.

Ensemble Studios (now Robot Entertainment) made Halo Wars.



Sort of. Ensemble split into two major pieces, Robot Entertainment and Bonfire Studios, plus a few smaller teams. A lot (most?) of the Halo Wars folks went to Bonfire Studios, which subsequently got acquired by Zynga and is now known as "Zynga Dallas".

And you thought Halo lore was complicated. :)

Okay to clear this 343 thing up


343 Industries, commonly shortened to 343i, is an American video game developer located in Redmond, Washington. It was established in 2007 by Microsoft Game Studios to oversee development of the Halo science fiction media franchise, which includes video games, novels, comics, and other multimedia content. Its name derives from 343 Guilty Spark, a character within the Halo universe.



so to the person that said it was just recently made, im sorry but that is wrong, they have been around since 2007.

Oh duh, right.

I knew that Microsoft liquidated Ensemble and that its employees moved on to start new ventures, such as those two main pieces (amongst others), but I didn't realize that Bonfire became a part of Zynga. I didn't know the name of Bonfire, just that there was another company set up. That's pretty cool to know.

Cheers for clearing that up :)
