Subject: why did bungie make reach?

I DO have time to bleed...i just dont want to.

i like halo reach quite alot but i wouldnt miss it if it wasnt made. i think bungie should have made halo 4 instead of reach, it would have made more sence.

Early on in the game's development, before coming up with the idea of a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved, Bungie considered making a follow-up to Halo 3, with John-117 as the protagonist.

BUNGiE needed to make one more HALO game for Microsoft so their contract can end, then Microsoft boots half of BUNGiE's members out the door while keeping the other half such as frank o connor.
BUNGiE who no longer have control over HALO released the highly anticipated Crimson Steam Pirates which sold billions of copies world wide, their most successful franchise... yet.
343 Industries, the successor to BUNGiE was formed by Microsoft by mixing the remaining ex-BUNGiE members with a bunch of new developers.

not to worry folks, i was only joking about it being the most successful franchise they made. however i've seen a link of frank expressing his views of HALO Reach being a bad game and how HALO 4 will be a good game/nothing like Reach. your thoughts?

Bungie made reach for all of the people that sucked at halo 3. anyone else realize how easy that game is? it got so boring to me that i sold it... and coming from me, im a HUGE halo fan. they made it noob-friendly so they could have a bigger fan base... since there is way more noobs than good players

The Tech Game

1,000,000+ Members, and still going strong!

They wanted to see how many Fans, would leave Halo..

  • 11.24.2011 10:50 PM PDT

I run Skirmish!!!

I believe bungie had to pump out one more game before there contract with microsoft ended and im pretty sure bungie just wanted to end halo at halo 3 then move on... At least that's what i've heard. It makes sense considering how terrible reach was...

When the contract with Microsoft ended 343 took over. So, technically Halo became thier game so... Crimson would be Bungie's most successful franchise seeing as Halo doesn't belong to them anymore.

"So- So this means Im just going to be miserable for the rest of time?!"

"No. This means that you have to live life to the fullest. You have one life, live it well. Make sure you die without regrets. Get a new life, new mate, new family. You, out of all people, don't deserve a terrible fate of misery like that. Having nothing to look forward to is good. It makes sure you want to keep on going. Living is a right, not a privilege."

I read them.....I didn't play reach to LEARN the backstory, because I already knew it. I played it to have some fun.
