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.

Yep.  I have complete and utter faith in Bungie's ability to craft incredible gameplay.  Whoever gets a hold of this franchise next, has some BIG shoes to fill.  And hopefully, they do not go the realistic look.
