Bungie, why join activision and quit microsoft i mean activision helps make call of duty games and you guys compete with them, well atleast you used to... you guys shouldn't have joined activision because your company will change too much and iv'e been hoping for more from you guys since halo combat evolved and well, to see another company on the intro for halo cea, its just hard to believe you guys quit halo, when you could have just separated into 2 companies and both made halo games apart from each other, unfortunately like triarch and infinity ward... but halo style...

Bungie is Bungie.

Whatever they make will be good.
You can cry and complain about Reach being an abomination but it's a very, very good game.

Whatever they do, even if they are with Activision, will be spectacular.

It will be splendid.

And be happy, at least they're not with EA.

PEANUT-BUTTER SLAP!

Is it that hard to understand that Bungie doesn't want to make Halo anymore?

I thought they wanted to continue with Halo, but they also wanted the rights to it (IP).

Staying with Microsoft means that whatever they make under them does not belong to them, whereas Activision allowed them (If I'm not wrong) to retain their rights to the IP.

Their ideal situation would've been to keep Halo and split from Microsoft to go multiplatform, but that doesn't mean they'd still be making Halo games once they started their new IP.

Use some grammar, OP, it's not a crime to do so. And 343i isn't a publisher, they're a developer... Bearing in mind that Bungie have been working on Halo since I believe 1999, maybe they want to do something else after working on it for 10 years? 343i also has some previous Bungie employees with them as well.

Yes its better to concentrate on one game than 2 plus it hinders their plans of domination. How do you dominate the world if you willingly let yourself be under someone elses control.

Not true in the slightest, it is just the fact people need money to do good things. So they work for money.

Agree, plus i would do things for free if i got what i wanted, which is something modest, never understood why you need a luxurious lifestyle, just get things to live comfortably, if you see Warren Buffet, he has huge amount of cash but he lives in a normal house, has an old car, and does not give a crap for any luxuries.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Activision doesn't make Call of Duty, they produce it. Also, Bungie is an LLC, so they won't turn into a mindless drone.

Activision has no control over what Bungie does, unlike Microsoft. Microsoft owned Bungie; Activision does not. All that Activision does is publish the games, nothing else. They have no creative input, and the IP rights stay with Bungie.

When they left Microsoft, they regained control and ownership of themselves; that was definitely the right move. They would have had to choose a publisher, and which one it is doesn't matter much. Also not that Activision does not make the CoD fra nchise; that's IW and Treyarch, Activision is only a publisher. (The other game I know that Activision published, off the top of my head, was the Guitar Hero series.)
