@accordingto343

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

Microsoft got it after they bought them.

Microsoft got it a long time ago but I think Bungie was pretty much done with Halo anyway and I don't blame them it's been a decade since they started with Halo.

If they didnt sell the rights to halo they wouldnt have had the money or the capacety to make the halo series.

hehe... Com-PLETELY skipped over Marathon, their next most notable game... Also missed Oni, Abuse, and who can forget about Pimps at Sea!

NO BS put up with from me! Try it and you are blocked,muted, and/or removed

who cares why they sold it point is that its been done no matter how much we want bungie to remain in control of it fact is that they arent sad yes i know but idk if we will ever find out the real reason they sold the rights but all we can hope is that the legacy of the epic game we have all come to love and play late at night remains in tact so that our kids might be able to say that it rocks and we will be able to say that we were there when they made the very first one but i for one am actually looking forward to halo 4 first off to see how they take master cheifs story farther and second how well 343 can do wit this epic game

The last time bungie owned halo was in 1999

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

I remember Urk posting something like: We never owned the rights of halo.

I think that oni and marathon are now owned by Rockstar.

And I presume Bungie still has the rights of 'QFTC'.

Did I say that was complete list? I did not.

They had to trade their rights for their independence.

Rockstar is actually just a part of Take 2 and doesn't really own anything themselves, but Bungie still owns Marathon. They sold, or gave up to Take 2, the Myth series and Oni.

Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit,
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."
-Omar Khayyám-

They sold, or gave up to Take 2, the Myth Series and Oni.

I thought Take 2 was only in ownership of Oni since that was the only game Take 2 and Bungie West was working on at the time.

We miss you Logan.
Ask any question. I'll help with anything on site or off.

They want'ed to keep it, but they also want'ed to become independent.

Seems like the revolutionary war between Microsoft and Bungie.

  • 09.28.2011 6:36 AM PDT

They never "sold" the rights to Microsoft, Microsoft acquired the rights when they purchased Bungie. Meaning if Bungie bought itself out of Miscrosoft they would not own the IP they were working on with Microsoft. SO the entire basis of this thread is flawed.
