Bungie was good for the multiplayer part of Halo while 343 is way better at telling a story and Halo 4 single player is the best of the series.

I wouldn't mind MS to buy Bungie back but I wouldn't let them deal alone with the franchise.

Don't Bungie and Activision have a 10-years agreement?
How can Microsoft buy them anyway?

Yeah it would be too costly and even though I don't like Destiny I rather Bungie turn that game into something really great. I love the premise.

I would never want Bungie to do a Halo again, the team of Halo 3 simply does not exist anymore. For me, Reach<<<4, and after the beta I trust that 343i can make Halo 5 fantastic (network issues and concerns aside ... )

I saw the Bungie thing at the bottom of the last page and got all excited.

Why must you torment me so Ryuu!!!



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

MS is well served with 343i. They just need to buy 3 studios to make me happy:
-Platinum Games or give Kamya a studio with a large budget.
-Remedy, whenever they humbly see that they're better with MS
-CD Projekt
All of'em wanna be independent. Damn it you.

Really?  I thought the campaign for H4 was just going through the motions aside from Cortana/Chief.  Reach's finale made more of an impact than anything 4 had.

Halo 4's campaign was true to the lore that so many people wanted the games to dive into. It was way more than just the Cortana/Chief development.

Same for me, the Halo trilogy/Reach has a better story telling but that is also because it is science fiction with a base of trying to make the science fiction explainable/possible..... Think for example the Alien/Aliens movie (where Halo ce is a bit based on)..      Children getting augmented/colonies rising up against earth/getting in contact with Aliens it is science fiction but it is easy to understand and have the feeling that it could be possible (also an easy way to catch people in getting them interested in the lore)....The Sanghelli and their Human elements make it for me easy to be interested in them.

Halo 4 is moving away from the explainable/possible science fiction think for example like Star Wars (The force is with you Master Chief shoot the core).
Master Chief was an human that survived because he was lucky in the original trilogy trilogy in Halo 4 he becomes superman (Oh MC watch out the didact has an beam that pulverize everybody but if I touch you it will not pulverize you)...
