you know...all they have to do is have the words "from the creators of Halo" in large print(same size as title) on their next game

 Heh, that would sound more of a blockbuster movie than an actual game.. lol

Or you could earn the fans instead of inheriting them.



They should make another Myth!

No offense to Halo fans, but most of them are too stupid to even know what a game developer is.

Don't try to argue me on this one: I was AT THE MIDNIGHT LAUNCH! I HAVE SEEN THEM!



"I mean, c'mon, Viva Pinata, a game with massive marketing, didn't sell worth a damn to the "sophisticated" 360 audience, despite near-universal praise--is that a sign that 360 owners are a bunch of casual ignoramuses that can't get their heads around a 'gardening' sim? Of course not. So let's please stop trying to micro-analyze one game out of hundreds and using it as the poster child for why good, non-1st party, games can't sell on Wii. (Everyone frequenting this site knows this is nonsense, and yet some of you just can't let it go because it's the only scab you have left to pick at after all your other "Wii will phail1!!1" straw men arguments have been put to the torch.)" - exindguy on Boom Blocks

Bring on the marathon remake. I'd buy that in a second!

I know they're tired of Halo but the Marathon series with Master Chief in it would kick ass... It's been pretty heavily implied that they take place in the same universe, only Marathon is a few hundred years later. Both of the characters wear "Mjolnir" armor as well.

It makes sense given the ending of Halo 3.

I think Bungie has earned plenty of fans to warrant their desire of branding themselves as a developer over their blockbuster Halo. Few developers have brought more to the FPS world than they have... Maybe Valve and id. That's about it.

Well I really liked their "Myth" series back in the day. :)
I wasn't really into computer gaming when their "Marathon" series was out, but it was supposed to have been really good back then.

I wonder if they'll do a different fps(Marathon/Halo-type) or something like Myth again or something just completely different?

Myth: TFL and Myth II: Soulblighter rocked, but Myth III, that wasn't developed by Bungie, was utter shit.

So we can be rather confident that at Bungie they're able to take their magic touch with them when they go away. (And the list of excellent games made by them after Myth is an even stronger proof).

Actually, I think that's an understatment. Almost all is more like it.

 How about growing up and laying off the insults?



I won't follow them until they can make another good series. You aren't a good developer if all you can make is one good series, which is questionable on how great it was.
