I love you.

But, keep in mind that only five Bungie employees jumped ship, and only three remain. Frankie is the only former Bungie employee leading any departments in 343i.
Anyways, I'm glad I'm not alone here. Sure, 343i may be able to take a franchise and do something decent, but I won't have that Bungie-made smell.

So you're both saying that the company that made one of the most profitable video game franchises is going to flop now that it's done with Halo?
I think you both underestimate how many people respect Bungie for stopping. They didn't want to be defined by one game. They didn't want to become the George Lucas of video games. Microsoft wanted to milk Halo for all it was worth and Bungie didn't. It takes big balls to say no to a company like microsoft.
I'll follow Halo to be sure, but 343, even though it is run by a lot of former Bungie employees, doesn't seem to have the vision that Bungie does. I think so long as Joe Staten doesn't write Halo, they won't be that great, or as great at least. And as for the music, I'll always follow Marty wherever he goes. I guess I'm saying I'm more of a Bungie fan than a Halo fan. And that's saying a lot.
OP: seeing as how they keep saying "see you starside" I'm gonna go with sci-fi.
When Bungie was deadset on sticking to the Mac platform in the 90's, Marathon and Myth were actually a pretty big deal. Come to think of it, without the innovations Marathon introduced to the FPS genre, Halo wouldn't have been anything near what it turned out to be.

Sorry but Bungie is more or less know only for Halo and now they dont make it and people will start paying attention to 343 and forget about Bungie...
