Subject: Thank You Bungie.

We Fight For Glory. We Fight For Honor. We Fight To Win.

Dear Bungie,

You have provided me with not only my favorite game franchise of all time, or what is, in my opinion, the best online experience available, but with memories I will never forget. I remember picking up a controller, and blasting through multitudes of enemy aliens on the Pillar of Autumn like it was yesterday. I will never forget how much fun it was, and still is. The pure joy brought forth from fighting back a force of menacing elites, and not so menacing grunts, was both unique and addicting. After playing through every Halo game, and even delving into the story of the Rookie in Halo 3:ODST, I have developed a sort of relationship to this fictional world we call Halo.

As Bungie's Halo, your Halo, inevitably leaves your hands, I can certainly say that while it may certainly change in the hands of its new caretakers, 343 Studios, it will never lose its shine. The genius that runs through Halo will never fade. Traveling from planet to planet, and defeating hordes of often terrifying aliens while battling alongside my allies, some AI, and some sitting next to me with another controller in their hands, will never get old.

Thank you for the intergalactic adventures with the Masterchief, and the heart pounding moments I spent battling the relentless parasite creatures known as the flood. Your love for not only your game, but your fans means more than you know. Once again, thank you for giving us Halo. We will not forget or take for granted the amazing world you introduced to us on November 15, 2001. We look forward to your next game with great anticipation. We can only imagine what you have in store for us.

See you starside.

You wouldn't. Allow 343 studios to retain secrecy in their development of Halo 4, even if you do have this alleged screenshot that is.

EDIT: Someone had posted about adding "Halo 4" screenshots to the game. I guess they were deleted. Good. I was also promoted to Heroic immediately afterward, so if a mod or staff member did do that, thank you!

Please stop complaining about the 'death of a loved one' it's my job. They probably deserved it anyways. Here's a warning, if you keep making pentagrams out of the neighbors livestock I will personally come to your house and kill everyone you love. Now leave me alone, I got to get back to work.

I also love bungie....

Cool story, bro.

Living in the past is a luxury none 
of us can afford. We must learn from 
it, but we cannot live there. It is 
impossible to plan for the now
the present is ever fleeting. The 
future is where we must live the 
future is what we must plan for.

We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.

Cool story, bro.

Tell it again.

Why does Bungie have to sell all halo rights? All the good times make me cry when I think that it will now be handled by Microsoft... I will miss the good old days, when after a game, people would SAY Good game! Now people just play game after game almost aimlessly, it's hard, now, to find a game with people who are 'polite' and don't bi**h about every little thing... I miss when people would just have fun, everyone huddled around a tv, a controller at hand, those were fun times, but as technology advances, and the economy plummets, things have evolved into a different era of time, and I am afraid that Microsoft will ruin everything in the halo universe... Can ANYONE help me here???? I feel like im lost in a pool called life...

We can only hope Halo 4 doesn't come out like that. The game itself looks pretty good in the teaser though.

Bungie didn't sell the rights... When Bungie partnered up with MS, the rights to Halo was given to MS. Bungie, after 10 years, was tired of making the game, so they decided not to renew their contract. Therefore, MS decided to make the dream team to build Halo: 343 industries.

It wasn't a teaser, it was a reveal trailer. Also, that's CGI not gameplay footage.

Obviously it isn't gameplay..haha I'm not THAT dumb.

You said, "The game itself looks pretty good in the trailer." I thought you meant visual wise, not story wise.

Ether way, Master Chief is back. :D

I can't wait to see the Master Chief again. I'm really thankful for Bungie though! Thank you for all the good times!

In Reach during The Pillar of Autumn (I think) if you turn your screen you can see Master Chief. This is also where he appears from during the trailer for Halo 4.

"We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds...'
I suppose we all thought that one way or another."

It's true, I actually forgot about that....
I'm gonna start saying good game after every game now. For old time's sake.

Totally agree. The XBOX Live community is becoming worse than YouTube comments... And based on Microsoft's track record (such as taking the tank-like original xbox and turning it into a POS that breaks if you look at it funny) the future looks grim.

indeed... I wrote my post after a panic attack of thinking what will become of bungie, but bungie KNOWS how to make a GREAT game; besides, bungie has obviously been up to something with the ps3, so I am confinident that they can make something else worth playing... btw, COD has the worst graphics EVER!!! =]
