I mean the way they talk about Halo, the upcoming Halo anniversary and the game engine and maps and stuff, you'd think they're the ones who spent 10 years creating all this.

Even their vids are complete rips off of Bungie ViDoc's no? It's like Frank was Bungie.net content manager. He wasn't responsible for the story, maps etc.

I get that Bungie is no longer making the games, but the way 343 Industries talks about Halo makes you wonder if they think they're responsible for all this.

Halo Anniversary is nothing more than the Reach engine overlaid on top of Halo:CE. Bungie made everything.

I think their real test will be Halo 4, but even then it's hard to wonder if they made the graphics engine themselves or if they are just going to go with the Halo3/Halo:Reach modified engine.

Does anyone else agree? I feel 343 Industries isn't giving credit where it's due and so far have done nothing much to warrant all the acclaim or accolades.

They're responsible for Halo now.
Deal with it.

As far as Halo concerned, Microsoft owns the IP, so they're going to say that it's theirs through and through.

They've thanked Bungie very nicely at the events I've visited whilst at PAX, but yes, they have taken complete ownership of the franchise otherwise, even though they are all entirely new at making Halo games.

Also, Saber Interactive is making Halo CEA, and Certain Affinity is doing the maps. 343i's just orchestrating what should be in it. I haven't seen them give those guys any credit yet either, sadly :/

@accordingto343

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

They mentioned CA in the Defiant Map ViDoc, but that's it.
