Subject: Why are people mad about 343i taking over?

First of all, there are many Bungie members working with 343, so it's basically just going to be Bungie v2. Also, look at Halo:CEA. It's a pixel-perfect remake of the game that started it all, made with EXTREME care. They didn't put anything in that would change it at all, except a shiny new layer of graphics. This shows that 343 definitely has the potential to make games on par with Bungie.

Secondly, did you want Halo to die? Think about it, if they just cut Halo off right after the abomination that was Reach, the franchise would've just died right out. Personally, I want to continue playing awesome 10/10 games for years to come. Nothing else can even hold a candle to Halo as an FPS.

Lastly, if Frankie plays his cards right, Halo can only move forward. All that has to happen is 343 returning to the Golden Triangle that Halo was birthed from, and running that on a Reach-Quality netcode. (For MP anyway.)

Discuss.

I'm actually pretty excited to see how 4 5 and 6 turn out :D

Posted by: car15Can you please edit your post? I know what that response is going to provoke from everyone, and I'd rather keep the discussion about 343 and Halo.

Play Halo, like a boss.

I agree, I'm more than happy to give 343 a chance. Not sure whether I'm going to fork out for Anniversary seeing as I've played CE to death, but I'll definitely be picking up Halo 4

I wasn't referring to gameplay.

Anyway, I'm willing to give 343i a chance, and I think a lot of people are. Since we're on the Bungie forums, though, you're going to see a disproportionate amount of people who aren't so thrilled about it.

Still, I just don't want this to turn into a flamewar. Thanks for the edit, btw.

Yes, I do. You're probably some mentally challenged 10-year old whining about stuff just to whine about it. I started with CE back in 2001. You probably started with ODST or Reach. GTFO if you actually think Halo should end for the sole reason that you want it to.

Your one stop shop for all of 343's fabulous errors and ridiculous notions in the Halo lore.

343 has to earn my admiration.

  • 08.04.2011 3:20 PM PDT

I reject your reality and substitute my own.

Who ever makes the Halo games will get flamed no matter what.

I see no problem in it, as long as they keep the Halo franchise alive and good, then its okay.

1) bright glowing ring above the head of religious figures
2)a game for xbox and later PC made by bungie; considered by some to be the best game available on xbox
3) military parachute jump (hi altitude, low opening)
master chief jumping from a plane with a ring above his head would satisfy all three

Bingo :P jk But it is true. We don't want halo to die out, and 343i is built up with Bungie members. We have to give them one chance.

  • 08.04.2011 3:50 PM PDT

It's because we haven't seen their work yet. We don't know what to expect from 343i.

This shows that 343 definitely has the potential to make games on par with Bungie.
1. There are less than 5 ex-Bungie employees at 343.

2. It won't be Bungie v2 and shouldn't be seen as such because they have a culture that is entirely their own.

3. Saber Interactive (makers of Timeshift) is making Halo CEA. Not 343. They're just orchestrating what they want Saber to put in it. Certain Affinity are making the multiplayer maps. So essentially 343 haven't laid a finger on the title.

Secondly, did you want Halo to die? Think about it, if they just cut Halo off right after the abomination that was Reach, the franchise would've just died right out. Personally, I want to continue playing awesome 10/10 games for years to come. Nothing else can even hold a candle to Halo as an FPS. 4. I'm fine with Halo being continued, but I'd prefer it to be done delicately.

Lastly, if Frankie plays his cards right, Halo can only move forward. All that has to happen is 343 returning to the Golden Triangle that Halo was birthed from, and running that on a Reach-Quality netcode. (For MP anyway.)5. Frankie did nothing at Bungie than being a front-page news writer, mostly about water. He edited the terminals in Halo 3, but that was realy it. And he joined well after Halo 1. I don't disagree that the games will be solid (seeing as they have Reach to put whatever they want on top of), but I just wanted to clear up a few of your misconceptions.

Welcome to bungie, you have no rights. play nice!
CLICK!

343i are supervising so youre statement of not laying a finger on it is wrong. Dan Ayoub is leading it.

^ This.

I'm giving 343 a chance with CEA and Halo 4, but I know in my heart of hearts that they won't do for Halo what Bungie did.

Even if 343 does a phenomenal job with Halo in the future, they will still always only ever be second place when compared to Bungie.


Loyalty to the 7th Column. To the creators of the FPS that all other FPS's are measured by. To the creators of one of the deepest universes ever imagined.

Bungie will always be first when Halo is discussed.
