We'll see if they can walk the walk.  He might want to keep a low profile for now.  This changeover could easily end badly as both Bungie and Halo are icons to a lot of people.  I'll wait for reviews.


This guys have already taken over from Bungie..The last map pack for an example is made by them...and basically those maps are my favorite;..Not only they created two of the greatest maps they also created the best FF map , those maps also have a link to the universe (books).. And considering the ones who still love the Halo franchise stepped over to 343..    So far they are doing a great job...

I'm not expecting a disaster and what you're saying about the maps is encouraging but they need to get their first full game out before they start talking smack.  Look at the minor sstorm BioWare is getting for changing Dragon Age.  That's just the second game in a far less popular series and genre.  DA might have a fifth of Halo's fanbase.  Vegas dev Obsidian were under direct oversight from Bethesda and still got a lot of negative feedback from both sides of the fence.  Some want more change and others less.  Millions of people are going to object to anything 343 do.  Internet pushback /= $uccess but I think doing an HD CE first would have helped the transition.

I guess you are not a member  of Bungie.net?  May lightning strike me if I lie but their are atleast 10.000 threads about how much Halo Reach sucks on Bungie.net..  Fans were mad because of the changes in Halo 3 and later with Halo Reach.. 343 will for sure get some negative comments aswell but I think most Halo Universe fans agree that it looks like 343 cares so much about the Halo universe like 'we' do.  My expectations are high ..

Well I think Obsidian did a great job.  In fact for me they made a better game than F3 what fans were complainging about where the graphics (OMG still same engine looks so outdated) the bugs in the game;.
