The halo franchise going downhill?

Halo: Reach might be decent. Its future installments of Halo that I worry about, since they won't be made by Bungie.

There are only a couple IPs that ever truly survived "the handoff", that I can recall -- namely Legacy of Kain (Crystal Dynamics took it from Silicon Knights), and Tomb Raider (again Crystal Dynamics.. took it from Core Design).

Every other major IP handoff I can think of went downhill, and fast.

This is probably the biggest take-away from this thread. Halo could be doomed. . .
