I would be legitimately surprised. I doubt it.

If this is true, then what would even be the point? Bungie has already shown their incompetence with Destiny, and even if they did get Halo back, would it really be the same without Joe Staten and Marty? They'd probably fuck that up too. I never ever thought I'd say this, but Halo is actually in better hands with 343 now rather than fucking Bungie.

Maybe they would have a Halo team that works alongside 343 and then have a team that does Destiny/New IP?

Either way, this doesn't make any sense (if its true). Bungie just isn't a good developer anymore.

I don't think it will happen, but it would be funny as fuck if it did. I'd love to see the reaction on B.nets sony fanboys faces.

After Halo Reach and Destiny I don't see why MS would want to buy Bungie back. With Reach they made their last Halo game with no passion and then there's Destiny. It's the game they've been working on since before ODST and it ended up being complete shit. Since they couldn't even develop their own game which is something they hadn't done in years I don't see them doing Halo any better now. It's easy to tell they got bored of it when Halo 3 was only focused on the MP and Reach was simply a tech demo for Destiny. Bungie is no longer the Bungie that made Halo CE.

If Bungie does come back to Halo I see it being in parts. 343 does the campaign and story while Bungie does the MP.

I disagree with the part about Reach. I still love that game, but you are right. Bungivi$ion isn't the Bungie that made Halo great.

...unless Joe and Marty come back...then we may have something

I dont't know about trusting them with it. Just look at that shitfest crucible is. It's literally everything that was a problem in Reach made into it's own game and then shat on by lag

This would be great if it leads to a new Marathon. But it is very unlikely.

Why would MS want to, Bungie have fired everyone of value-MS could just hire everyone back into 343

CyberGama · February 07, 2015, 01:59:18 PM

1. Bungie leaves for Destiny
2. Makes a Disappointing GOTY
3. MS wants them back

I don't know why MS would want Bungie back after Destiny failed, waist of time.

Still, Destiny will die soon, then Activision will realize that they fucked up. If they want to have quantity vs quality then they can go fuck off.

You do know Destiny was a success right? It made it's money park for the first game in the series.

The contract also lasts for two more games, which of course we still don't know how they will preform but my guess is that like the first they will do well as well.

Quantity yes, Quality no. Theres a reason why Quality comes first before Quantity, Activision can't seem to figure that out. This is why Activision needs to be bankrupt, if this is how they want to treat there consumers then they can go piss off. You earn money by doing quality first, THEN you do quantity.
