While I understand you (Bungie) aren't in control of the Halo franchise, I'm sure you have to have some opinion about what 343i is going to do to it.

And I posted this here, instead of the Reach forums, because (1) I'm probably more likely (if only by a fraction of a percent) to actually get a Bungie employee to reply, and (2) I will not be trolled out my hindquarters by the usual customers over there.

And I don't care how Bungie gets back to me. Forum post would be nice so everyone can see, but even a PM or email (you have it in your system obviously) would be appreciated, if you felt like taking the time to write it up.

I look forward to hearing from you guys.

Yes, it was in the subject line.

I would be surprised if Bungie responded in-depth about their opinions on how 343i is planning to handle Halo from now on. Their opinions are as good as ours at this point about 343i.

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?

It is not likely to hear from any employee about the TU, or 343 at all for that matter. I would expect it to be good though, and offer players a broader range of options and outlets to accommodate their play styles.

While I don't expect an official Bungie response, it would be interesting to hear what they think of the changes that 343i are suggesting.

"I don't care if it's God's own anti-Son of a -blam!- Machine or a giant hula-hoop!"

Unfortunately, even if they give an official statement, they won't be completely honest in it.
The last thing they are going to do is bad mouth 343i. It's not a good PR move, and they seem to have a great working relationship. So if they do give their opinion, take it with a grain of salt.

It's also not a good idea to give an opinion on an update, before it comes out. Just because something looks good or bad on paper, doesn't mean that will be the outcome in reality.

Doubt they'll share their opinions on it. Anything they say can and will be used against them.

ISU Cyclones!

Personally, with how interactive Bungie was with the community about balance patches before, I wonder if Bungie were even allowed to put out a major title update for the game themselves as part of the deal to transition the game over to 343i so soon.

I'm not in the crowd that thinks Reach was broken -blam!- (I'd be in the Reach forum otherwise) but there are tweaks that could've helped more people than it would upset.

All I know is that the Reach forum has literally gone 100% to -blam!- now. All that's pretty much left there now are "overly hardcore" people looking for any chance to insult and attack anyone who disagrees with the TU. And if none are there to attack they'll just make a thread insulting them anyway in hopes they'll come so they can make fun of them more...

Halo 3 ranks all over again...

The beta is super awesome. RogueAssassin27 is now the person who got my Totodile's nickname. Hoo-hah! Relevant.inb4lock

Silly, that's me.

Also, what does TU mean?

An accident? Those things that are the only things Bungie has ever done good to Halo?

Thank God they sucked at making what they envisioned back then. The better they got at creating what they envisioned, the crappier the games spewed out. Obviously not technology-wise, of course.

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

They're still trying to figure out how 343 + Certain Affinity made the Defiant Map Pack more accurate then the entire Reach campaign.

Dude you are not going to get any bungie members but thank you for posting this. the reason I say thank you is because this was a big question that needs to be answered. By putting it out to the public forums maybe someday we'll hear a answer.
