I love how he says that after Reach there are no other Halo projects planned, but that there is a possibility that 10 years down the line they could return to it and that somehow equates to him saying they are gonna make a bunch of new halos right after Reach comes out to people in this thread =p
I'm kind of getting tired of the whole "Hey, lets trash Halo because it's popular and then we'll seem cool because we dislike Halo" attitude. I'm not saying that anyone on this thread is doing that, but I am getting tired of people else where on the Internet gripping about the poor story and sameness of the past few games.
Most successful games have either or both of two things, great story or great game play. Halo's story telling isn't exactly Firefly or Stargate quality, but it's game play is rock solid. That's all that is needed to create a good game. Super Mario Bros. wasn't exactly telling a story that would have impressed J.R.R. Tolkien, but it was...wait for it...FUN TO PLAY.
Yeah, you might score some cheap "cool points" bashing the big mean franchise. I'm really into MMORPGs and sometimes I get frustrated by the fact that smaller games that I liked such as Asheron's Call and Dark Age of Camelot never got as popular as World of Warcraft, which I'm not a fan of. However, I can understand why World of Warcraft did better then those other games and accept those facts instead ranting about the negatives of WoW. If you want more people to play the games that you like, focus on the positive of YOUR games and not on the negative of the game(s) you are trying to get people away from, because it almost always sounds like an insult when you tell people the game they like is stupid.
Thats my 2 cents, anyway. I'd agree with others on here that a new IP from Bungie would be interesting.

Did we totally forget about 343 Studios? A company created by Bungie/Miscrosoft that employs Halo/Bungie veterans for the purpose of continuing the Halo franchise through various artistic mediums? I guess we did.... While Bungie itself may not make anymore games, 343 Studios sure as hell will.

I knew this would happen, there's no chance they don't want more heaps of money.
I would like to see them move away from that master chief time period but I have a feeling that if they did they would mess it up or fan boys would freak out.
That's fine and all. However, I'm kinda wondering where the franchise is heading to.
Once you've done the prequel, there's not much else to do right?

You can always make two more prequels and call it "Finishing the Saga"....Random Argument Man said:
I always suspected that Bungie would keep a watch over the Halo franchise in the future, it's their baby, after all (even if Microsoft is the child's Legal Guardian). Them making a new game for it way down the line comes as no surprise, and it won't be earth-shattering if 343 Studios makes a game or two in the time in-between then and now.Personally, I'm for it. I like Halo as a series (all the games, even ODST and Wars, and the books too), and to see it survive in one form or another would be great. Halo really isn't a "milked" franchise, considering that it only as a handful of games in it, so I think that there's plenty of places that Halo could go and still retain a fresh quality to it.
I love Halo and I love Bungie, but I've been waiting for 3 years for them to do something fresh. I can't wait for them to start a new series (or return to and old one...? Nah, it is way too much to hope for that they would do something Marathon-related.)
They will be making new IPs. For now, this is it for Halo from them. Not to mention, a while ago they had a job offer up for someone to work on developing the world, story, and background for a new IP. It's happening.Jbird said:The gamer side of me is disappointed about this. I for one would like to see some new IP's from Bungie. The cynical side of me says:
However, I would hate for them to leave Halo forever. Especially after that crap after beating Halo 3 on Legendary. You can't leave me hanging like that, guys! >.<
i love halo about as much as everyone else its the reason i went from playsttion to xbox but after every halo game bungie say we may make a new halo game we might not and everytime they do it is always the same like after halo 3, halo wars and it will be the same after reach.
Wait, what?! Bungie is going to continue making games that get them money?!
When did we arrive in 'CrazyLand'?!
