Lost in translation

The game was overall terrible and only ran for a few weeks off of hype. The game couldn't even hold #1 game on Xbox LIVE for more than a few weeks. Every other Halo game accomplished this for years, and even when they were not #1, they were still pretty high up.

There is a conspiracy theory where Bungie intentionally made Halo: Reach a bad game because they didn't want the fans to miss them and so 343 Industries could have an easy time winning over the fanbase and selling Halo games by making Halo 4 a success and remaking the first Halo game without changing a thing.

Thoughts?

I doubt it.

Why risk ruining someones opinion of your own company for the sake of another.

Moneysoft cracked the wip too much. Mix it in with Bungie wanting to try new things, and you get disaster.

That is a stupid theory. Why would Bungie intentionally ruin their rep for a new dev?

Bungie just pulled the retard card and tried way too much new stuff and it all -blam!- Reach up.

Yeah but how does this help bungie? Shouldn't they want their fans to miss them?

Bungie wouldn't just make a terrible game to help 343 from the goodness of their hearts. Bungie is a company just like any other, they want money. Driving away their fanbase definitely wouldn't help the sales on their next game so I don't see the point.

Come one, are you guys even reading the thread?

I did read it, and it certainly wouldn't help Bungie at all from a financial perspective for their next game or even the next halo.
