Whats wrong with Microsoft wouldn't they be all over that?


Umm I guess u werent here when they spilit on bad terms....plus it looks like MS has moved on ( with the halo-focused 343 industries.).

um, how could microsoft and bungie have split on bad terms?  Microsoft OWNED them and then let them have their independence because they wanted it.  If it had been on bad terms microsoft probably wouldn't have let them go.  

As for 343 industries, that was formed because bungie didn't want to do halo anymore.  This project they are talking about isn't a halo project, but I'm sure microsoft is still interested in it.  

I'm sure the publisher is microsoft, when they seperated they gave microsoft the right of first refusal, so unless microsoft passed on it, the publisher will be microsoft.

Isn't it implied then that MS passed on the project then if Bungie is "looking" for a publisher?  Otherwise why would be Bungie be looking for a publisher when MS has the right of first refusal?  Had MS accepted then it would've been announced right away instead of all these rumors swirling around.  Everyone knows the close relationship that Bungie has with MS, so unless the mystery publisher is actually not MS, I don't see any point in Bungie being all secretive about it.
