Bungie were independant whilst developing Halo(when it was meant to be a third-person sci-fi strategy game) but MS purchased them during development :P

Yep. So we still only have Gears...

Bungie were working on Halo prior to their purchase from MS, hence Bungie owned the IP up until 2000. MS did not own the Halo brand from its inception. MS did fund Halo from 2000-onwards and probably changed it to a first-person shooter which was a great move. The original Halo is probably one of the best launch titles ever for a console along with Super Mario 64.
