You do know that 343 is made up of former Bungie people who made Halo. So they do have past credit. Halo 1-3.Maiestas777 said:Personally, I am cautiously optimistic. I found that Bungie was stagnating with the IP and just did not love the games like they used to. However, I also know that 343i is a complete unknown quantity with nothing to really prove whether they have the chops to continue Halo or not.
Basically, I think that a fresh dev team could do wonders for the series and am going to hold out on judgement of Halo 4 until I play it.
Yeah dude, but that's why they killed him of in Season 10 five years ago.Skullkid4187 said:The Chef is done man

Isn't 343 basically made up of Bungie employees though, just under a different name?Kombatkid123 said:What do you guys think? Should a company other than Bungie continue the Halo Series? Or should Halo 4....and 5....and 6....not even come into existence?
Me personally...they're just milking the Halo cash-cow.....
It's not the fact that it's the fourth game in the series. I appreciate the fact that other companies are continuing their series, like Fallout, Zelda, etc. because their series either isn't complete yet (Assassin's Creed), never really ends (Fallout and Final Fantasy has multiple story lines, not just one specific character), or because a company still continues the legacy of maintaining a game (Eidos with Hitman, Nintendo with Mario and Sonic...etc.). I don't like the fact that Bungie not only mentioned Reach was going to be their last game, but the Halo franchise is going to be taken over by another company, when Bungie made good enough story lines for the series. Halo 3 should have been the end of Master Chief: the war is over with the Covenant and the Halo Rings are destroyed (hence the title of the series is now purposeless ). What else could there possibly be?Stubee said:Their 4th game in the main series is milking it? So i can assume you think the same about Fallout, Zelda, Final Fantasy, Metroid, Metal Gear Solid, Assassins Creed, Hitman, Mario, Sonic, etc?Kombatkid123 said:What do you guys think?

Actually, although several Bungie employees came over, the only one of note is former community manager Frank O'Connor, who is now the creative lead of 343i. The company was formed by Microsoft Game Studios for the single purpose of continuing Halo, hence the name. Most of Bungie is still at Bungie.Saelune said:You do know that 343 is made up of former Bungie people who made Halo. So they do have past credit.

Theres a reason their name is a Halo reference. Hell, they are made up of the people from Bungie who STILL want to do Halo. That means they still have drive to do well.
