Subject: Two Things Bungie

First:No more books please.Tells the story of your games in your games,i don't want to spend money on (that type) of books.

Second:Please,not a franchise at a time,make more games (of different sagas) in these next ten years (like in the 90's).

Thank for your attention

I must go now, my planet needs me.

1. Bungie didn't make the books.
2. It's better that way.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I like trilogies, but only if the plot is good.

I spend too much time here.. too much time indeed.

I tweet?

The books were supplemental material, optional, you didn't need to read them to enjoy the story. They just added more to it, expanding the universe beyond the games.

As for large franchises, that just seems to be where the industry is headed. More long and thought out stories covering a massive universe envisioned by its creator. Or you know, quick copy/paste games that change the story up each time, but remain relatively the same and are pretty much reliant on the multiplayer side of the game to keep them afloat.

1) You didn't need to read the books to enjoy and understand the games, but people that did got a wider understanding of the Halo universe.

2) I don't care either way, but I'd prefer a series rather than single games.

I love reading game fiction. Also, I don't want Bungie to make one incredible game and then move on to the next one. Keep the ten year franchise on a game.

I Completely agree.

What a hipster.

Up to this point Halo has only been for xbox, if you are a single console game and want to give your fans or the people that don't own the console a little extra Halo experiance, books are the way to go. They give the fans what they want and at the same time they expand the reaches of the Halo name and universe. Also, I'm pretty sure the last book came out awhile ago, what makes you concerned about a new one now?

Key

1. They didn't make the books.... .... Gaming devs are not book publishers.

2. I'd like another franchise. I don't think Bungie is up for being a "Valve" type company where they release a bunch of different series (not franchises) and get hits with all of them. Bungie will make a franchise and make every game in that franchise a hit.

Every one of the Halo games on Xbox 360 are in the top 12 for sales of all games 3 is a #3, Reach and ODST are 11 and 12 respectively and Halo 2 and Halo: CE are 1 and 2 (respective) all time for the original xbox.

Bungie does well with franchises. They should make franchises.

1)Again

2)Who cares about the sales?I want more good games from Bungie,not more good selling games from Bungie

I repeat:i don't want only a single franchise for the next ten years,i want more than one IP,just like in 90's (Oni,Marathon,Myth etc.),i just don't like the single IP story for ten years

And for the books:i simply said that i don't want books for the future games of Bungie,i prefer that the story is told in the games themselves and not in other media
