"Living in the past is a luxury none of us can afford..."
"I know what the ladies like..."

I recently got Halo Anniversary and noticed that on the box there wasn't any mention of Bungie. It's as if they never even made the game. That sort of troubled me, but, alas, this is no rant. In light of all the things being done with Halo recently (Primordium,CEA, Halo 4), what are your opinions about what is being done with the franchise and over the many "side products" that are being produced? I wasn't active in the community when Bungie trasnfered Halo over to 343 so I wasn't aware of the community's feelings about it.

Check the back of the manual. A Bungie logo should be there in one of those corners.

Edit: Also, take a note of the credits. It plays credits not only for Halo Anniversary, but CE, 2, 3, Wars, ODST, and Reach. Seriously.

I noticed this too, there is barely any mention of Bungie. I think its a bit of a shame, to celebrate 10 years of a game but barely mention the creators except in a few small places.

If you're passionate about the thing you're talking about, I'll always lend an ear.

Re-skin a game and indirectly claim it as yours [by removing any signs of the original creator].

Re-release a classic and let the money pile up.

They're logo is on the back of the instruction manual, but I think the lack of it anywhere on the case has something to do with credit towards work on the Anniversary Edition, itself and not the orginal Halo

Don't be stupid like I was! Check to see what that Forum Ninja is saying to you!

The credits give more than enough credit to Bungie. They have it for the original CE and Reach.

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

They're doing good so far I think.

How they will continue to do depends on how Halo 4 does.

They do credit Bungie, on the manual and in the credits. But 343i recognizes that Bungie moved on. Having their name all over the case, menu and generally everywhere on the game gives the wrong impression: as if to say that Bungie isn't totally gone.

Oh, I haven't even finished the game yet, my bad.
Although I'm not too happy with them "milking" the master chief storyline, I'm quite happy that more halo side stories are being pumped out to keep the universe alive. I also love the story they created behind 343 guilty spark. Anyone else read primordium?

They are doing fine I guess,Halo 4 will be the real test for 343 though. This game will either rejuvenate or kill the Halo franchise.

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

It would be nice if in CEA you can talk to one soldier named :
"Alex Seropian" or "Jason Jones" and on one of the boards instead of the troll face it would be the Bungie Logo.

"I'd have to say Lockout was the worst"


I'm pretty sure that's heresy, and that it conflicts with the "Code of Manliness" - page 792, section E subsection D paragraph 3.2. I suggest you relay that statement.

Does any one know if this re-release was still under Microsoft as far as rights?

EDIT

I do recall this being one of 343's first releases if I'm not mistaken. It would make sense that an honorable mention of Bungie would be made, but we have to keep in mind this is no longer Bungie's baby, save a few visits overy other weekend.

Helping out the 7th column community with reasonable posts since '07.

The original credits was 100% Bungie, so I'm sure that counts as credit.
