Do you think your new game will be more or less popular than the halo series? If so, by how much?

I find it odd that we are now at Halo 4 (although not being made by bungie) but bungie is kind of like Rocky Balboa in Rocky IV, they are on top of the world. But we all know what happens in the movie.

Would it be better if Bungie went back to the old/better ways of doing things now, before they get their asses handed to them by Drago or after? Or do you consider this (the final transition) the re-match where you show them who's better?

(Drago possibly being 343 studios with all their fancy technology and super sponsor who will stop at nothing to win....)


P.S. We all cheer for Rocky, but he didn't win EVERY fight...he still kicked a lot of ass, and usually won out in the end, but now matter what, we still love him...

Looking back on your previous franchise known as Halo, do you wish anything had turned out differently?

Anyone looking forward to the Vita coming out this week?

Considering that there are now a lot of rumors floating around about next-gen systems, how does the development process differ, and what difficulties are there to overcome when trying to launch a new IP so close to the end of the cycle?

Question about render to video, stats, API, etc.

Not too long ago, you said that Bungie pro would make it's return someday. Not too long ago, 343 also announced that it would discontinue API support. Now, surely a few people at Bungie understand how big web content and stats have become for the Halo community. I can think of at least a dozen popular community sites built around advanced stat collection, reporting, and service records. These sites will have to go back to screen scraping stats, if they are even provided to the extent Bungie has. It may even mean the end of much of their functionality.

Now that the Halo community and subsequent fan sites are made to choose direction between the franchise they were built around, and the developer that built that franchise, is there anything you can say about future plans to add web features to your games? Did you find render to video worthwhile? Was making an advanced API worthwhile?

These are things that don't necessarily increase game sales, and I would assume that is why other developers do not put the time and effort into them that Bungie has, but they do strengthen the fan community. Has that community been important to you, and do you plan to keep expanding that support in the future?
This is an excellent question that is well worth answering. Leave it to Microsoft to kill something awesome like the Bungie-era Halo stats API. I miss the Bungie-era Halo world already.

You imply a level of control over Halo: Reach matchmaking that we no longer have. Or, in your vernacular, it isn't our shiznit anymore.
