It's difficult to pinpoint how much of the Halo story was planned during the games and at what point that key elements of the story were decided, but it's clear that originally intended stroy elements were scrapped due to time rather than those ideas not being "good" ones, such as the 3rd act in Halo 2 which would have had MAster Chief planetside fighting Covenant (Which is what I assume Halo ODST justified a bit).
IT's also clear that Bungie had "something" intended for the end of Halo 3, either decided before or midway through the production of the game. What I'm curious about is whether or not Bungie had an original idea and if 343 will use that idea. And if so, did Bungie have rough drafts/plans to continue the story for would could have amounted to 3 more games OR is this just 343 capitalizing on what could have been just a single game or novel about John finding his way home.
The idea that Bungie's writers have planned for the next 3 games and that 343 is merely taking over the production aspects feels more "safe" to me, in that I like what bungie does and I'd be worried if another person stepped into their shoes.
Anyway what do yo think? Was this always planned? Was it planned to be dragged through 3 more games? Is 343 doing their own thing? Was it intended to be scrapped? Thoughts and ideas:
