They've made all these great games, but it seems like ever since they became an independent developer the only things they ACTUALLY own anymore is Reach, and maybe Halo 3 and maybe ODST. I'm including H3 and ODST cuz I forget when they finally were done with Microsoft. Marathon and ONI are owned by TakeTwo and Microsoft owns everything else. Am I right or am I missing something?

There comes a time in every mans life... and that time is not now.

They legally have the rights to my first born.

  • 12.25.2011 9:37 PM PDT

You're missing a lot of things, but I can't take the time to explain it.

They don't own Reach anymore, actually. They don't own any of Halo.

Ready are you? What know you of ready? For eight hundred years have I trained Jedi. My own council will I keep on who is to be trained. A Jedi must have the deepest commitment, the most serious mind. This one a long time have I watched. All his life has he looked away... to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmph. Adventure. Heh. Excitement. Heh. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless.” -Yoda

Bungie has:
Marathon series
Pathways into Darkness (I think)
Gnop
Operation Desert Storm
Minotaur: Labyrinths of Crete

Not own anymore:
Myth Series
Oni
Halo series

Bungie is winning right now





You sir are wrong in many ways...

They could make a game out of urk's beard I suppose...

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

They still have their dignity.

Key

They own nothing to do with Halo.
They own nothing to do with Myth.
They own nothing to do with Oni.
They own everything else.

If I'm wrong I don't want to be right. That's a good chunk a change they still have. After some more research they don't own marathon. Those rights were given to TakeTwo when Microsoft bought Bungie.

*I just evolved into a mythic member again...yay!!!

Join the Bungie Kids Podcast Group!

Listen to our podcast and listen to us talk about the latest Bungie news and Halo: Reach updates!

When I grow up, I want to be just like goofenhour.

They don't own Myth, Oni, and Halo IPs. Marathon and all the early Bungie Classic games they still own. But they do own a few other things in the Halo games, or at least have the rights to use. For instance they have the rights to the design of the Superintendent. There are few other cases.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

My heart belongs to them...

  • 12.25.2011 10:21 PM PDT

You're so cool because you quoted me and then added ellipsis and then "No." You forgot the "Just no," part. That would make you look even cooler.

Glory and fame, blood is our name!
Souls full of thunder, hearts of steel!
Killers of men, a warrior's friend!
Sworn to avenge our fallen brothers!
Sons of the gods, today we shall die.
Open Valhalla's door!
Let the battle begin, with swords in the wind! Hail Gods of War!

As long as they still own Marathon, I'm happy.

You're so cool for thinking you have the grounds to point sarcastic words at another user when that users response is obviously justified.

Come on now bro, lets be realistic here. And for you, growing up a tad might be helpful as well.

But hey, you can think what you want kiddo.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

They own Bungie. And Crimson I believe.

  • 12.25.2011 11:01 PM PDT

"Justified reply"? It didn't even make sense; it was a corny and hackneyed instance used commonly by teenagers (that would be, my peers). I called you out on saying a grossly nonsensical sentence (if you can call that a sentence) that I see my 14-year-old friends post on Facebook.

This is really unnecessary. I doubt we need to embellish this further.

Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Marathon was released as open source before Take 2 got ahold of it, so it isn't a complete loss in the way that Myth has been.

In addition to the older titles, they own their new project of course. But yeah, they pretty much don't own anything that involved more than 3 people.

I <3 you too Bungie

Halo 3 (31st), ODST (14th) and Reach (4th) Mythic Conqueror. (Mythic is Solo, Legendary, All skulls on + scoring on and no deaths/saves).

They bought Marathon back a couple of years ago AFAIK.

You mean that they could at any time any place take away my child so they can force him to drink Ling Lings jar juice??
The horror...

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

I don't think they have full control over their older games, but not Halo. They control their next game series.
