Between Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST and the distant Halo: Reach, I’d say Bungie has been pretty generous to fans of its console-defining sci-fi shooter. Throw in the Ensemble Studios’ RTS Halo Wars, and that’s quite a lot of Halo for one console generation. That’s probably why it isn’t too surprising that Reach will in fact be Bungie’s last hurrah in the Halo universe…at least for the Xbox 360.

It seems just as well. With at least two more games on the way, and the newly announced Halo Legends anime project, Microsoft might be reaching a bit of an oversaturation point with its most cherished gaming franchise. On the other hand, Nintendo has been whoring out Mario for decades, so perhaps it won’t end up being a problem after all. Plus, by the time Reach is released, the next console generation should be right around the corner, and you know what that means: Halo 4: Launch Titl

I can't get enough of this franchise.

That's is great news, end the series soon.

Nintendo has been whoreing out Mario for decades....

The 360 has 3 Halo games (not counting HW). Only the NES has had 3 Mario games. Every other gen has had one.

That does not make sense, if you do not like the games, don't play them.  Others, such as myself, love the hell out of them, and our voracious appetite for all things Halo, can never be satisfied.

And to those who think Nintendo doesn't whore out Mario, you are kidding yourself.  He has appeared in well over 150 games.  That is a well used whore.

Well it's quite possible but only because they might have another console out for a new Halo haha.

I could understand if the games were getting markedly worse. That is not the case.

Well just because Bungie doesn't make any more Halo games doesn't mean the franchise will just die.  MS will probably continue to make Halo games after Bungie stops...I just hope they can do as good of a job as Bungie has done.

^^^ that's my understanding. about a month ago i had a meeting with some Microsoft people since we use some modified software from them. one was a young man apparently a gamer but not apart of the gaming division. he told me he was told no Halo 4 till the next XBox was out. also so for what its worth he told me Gears 3 there was a divided opinion about holding off with it till the next XBox but it was still undecided.

I hope that doesn't mean the end of the Halo franchise this generation. You can't just halt production on such a big name game. Even though mario has 1 major game each generation, he makes his way into about a dozen other games (halo party 8 anyone)? :o
