In your opinion, who produced the best Halo game(s) between Bungie and 343? I think they both produced and contributed a lot to the franchise but there's one thing one thing that really saddens me, no Marty/Michael's music in Halo 4 and future Halo games. As soon as you hear their music, nostalgia kicks in and always brings up some tears. I really hope they'll bring more music from other Halo games. There's also another thing I'd like them to bring back: classic multiplayer maps from Halo CE, 2 and 3 but since they stated that in Halo 4 it's actually a combat simulation inside the UNSC Infinity, I doubt they'll bring back maps from other Halo games.

Meh. So far Bungie has made 4 great Halo games. (CE, 2, 3, ODST).

343i hasn't made any.

Bungie - A++
343 - C+

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

Bungie pre-Reach

Bungie no longer wanted anything to do with Halo, so we got Reach.

If i would have played Halo 4 about two years ago I would have had as much fun with it as I did with Halo 3 (Probably more), but honestly I'm bored of all of the BS in online gaming.

While I was disappointed with Reach, Halo CE, 2 and 3 are all great games, in my opinion. I do enjoy Halo 4, but I don't think it's on the same level as Bungie's original trilogy.

I agree, even if I liked Reach, the games that preceded Reach are way better. They had the right formula for a Halo game with the Original's trilogy but somehow they messed with it and we now have things like Armor Abilities, Sprints and Weapons Loadout.

Halo 4 was a good game. Haters gonna hate.

Both studios did a good job, but Bungie gets my vote because 343i put a half-assed effort into Spartan Ops and it shows.

Definitely 343. They did Halo much better than Bungie, which says a lot. Basically they beat them at their own franchise.


The vast majority disagrees.

I don't think you've ever played Halo CE ~ 3.

Well it seems the Flood and /v/ have an extreme majority of favoring Bungie over 343 judging the threads I've seen on the two sites.

Yeah, I though Reach was decent, but sub-par by Halo standards. My biggest gripes were a mediocre campaign, bad maps, Forge World being too grey, and Armor Lock.

I'm glad Armor Abilities in Halo 4 are toned down from Reach, and I actually do like the gameplay changes like ordnance drops for the most part. Overall I'd say Multiplayer is my favorite part of Halo 4. I do hate the lack of Custom Game options, though. Campaign was okay, though it felt cheesy or generic at times, and I didn't think there was enough variety in the Promethean enemy class to make them interesting foes. Spartan Ops has also felt pretty underwhelming to me, minus the actual cutscenes. I'm also vastly disappointed that Forge is largely the same as it was in Reach. I wish the Forge palette had more variety (as in different structural pieces in assorted colors other than grey), but maybe I've just come to expect too much.

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Let's give it time.... There are a few things to consider...

1. Bungie has made 5 Halo games, 343 just made their first
2. 343 had to continue the Halo series instead of creating it
3. You guys are very hard to please

Edit:
4. We're on Bungie's freaking website

I played Halo 4 at a friends. It felt more like Mass Effect in an FPS than Halo. Not bad, but failed to deliver as much fun as previous Halo games.

Going with Bungie.
