Subject: What does the community think of Bungie's dismissal from halo?

Whisper Game Studios - shhhh, it's a public secret.

[*Please note that anything in my posts is likely to be filled with sarcasm, and should be taken with a pinch of salt. I tend to help people, usually*]

Everyone else has said what I wanted to. Apart from:

Frankie was given content to write for the updates and was also tasked with PR at events to explain to journalists about Halo when questions were asked. The most he ever did directly with Halo was edit the H3 terminals. How you consider him the "the best thing that happened to halo series" is beyond my brain.

He even said it to High Impact Halo, himself:
I'm content manager, which really means, spare monkey. That means I do everything from writing the manual, helping marketing with materials, running the website [SJ note: lol, got anything to say, Achronos?] and going on trips to incredible places, to shoveling pimp turds out of Marty's recording booth. Seriously. Pimps are way worse than cart horses.
It bothers me that he somehow clawed his way up to such a prestigious position at Microsoft. I think he obviously had some ideas that weren't being listened to at Bungie, so he decided to take it to the top (the weird direction that Halo's been taking in the novels and what we've seen of H4 says that much). Sneaky if you ask me.

And Shishka worked on miscellaneous content like the Halo 2 Attract video (when you left the game sitting on the menu) and some matchmaking playlists. Not sure what else he did beyond that, but again, I wouldn't say that he was the "core of the Bungie/Halo communtiy".

Regarding them moving on, I'm personally glad that Bungie's not the sort of company that milks their games to death (by choice). They recognize when it's time to move on, and I really respect that.

Here, at the 4:00 minute mark.
So, they're not using the original actress who played Cortana (for what reason...?) and they're going to basically give a 30 second - 2 minute expository dump of B.S. about why his armor is so drastically changed because of artistic choices?

Holy Christ, I feel if Bungie worked half and half on Halo 4 and Destiny and released Halo 4 at the same time it's scheduled for now we'd still get a better product.

Yikes.

Who the hell do you think I am?

I think it's great that they've moved forward to what could possibly be bigger and better things. I definitely look forward to what Bungie has in store for their community.

Swag punks, fu­­ck off!

I think they should have stopped at Halo 3. I also think that they need this, they need to move on to bigger and better things.

The tide is turning, brothers! Let us take our kingdom back!

Bungie gets the chance to break free and make something they feel truly passionate about, and the same with 343i.

Not fused. Reach was terrible, and more games from them would have been worse.

Terrible is a bit of an overstatement, mate.

Unplayable games are terrible. Games with awkward, clunky graphics are unplayable. Games don't get 3.3 million sales in North America alone when they're terrible. Canon may have been broken and multiplayer support may have been less than optimal, but to call it terrible is a bit unnecessary.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Now they can do something new, so good. 5 great games were also enough to satisfy their Grunty thirst.

Got a question, comment, or concern? PM me.

I think they did the right thing. The series was being run into the ground, and that was evident with Reach.

A tosser is the same as a wanker. To toss oneself off is to fondle the trouser weasel.
