So far the only figure I've seen is $20,000,000.

That seems rather high for a 2001 game with a tiny studio.

Though with MS buying them off Mac and backing the advertising for the X-Box, maybe.

Google isn't helping me much either. And I need a figure or my report.

You would probably be better off e-mailing a Bungie employee, probably DeeJ. It would also help if you made a thread about this in the Community Forum, since it is a lot more active there and they're a tad more intellectual about these things.

Yeah. It cost a few million to make Pathways, so I guess Halo was multiple times that, considering they had a working build as open-world game, and then remaking that into an FPS.

That's actually a really interesting question. I had always thought that CE was produced with a small budget and Bungie just hit the jackpot.
