Bungie to Step Back From Halo Series

Posted by Zonk on from the last-one-for-a-while dept.

Thanks to the BBC for their articles on the near future of Bungie. With Halo 2 ready to ship, it appears the company is stepping back from the Halo series for the moment. While they have over 100 years of plot fleshed out for the gameworld, plans for the future are in flux. For now, "Most people will take a week or two, some up to a month, but almost everyone will be back here in time for the game launch, to witness it first hand."

    You're forgetting the Marathon series. Halo and Marathon are in the same universe.

    Nope, Bungie stated a few times that they are infact in different universes.

    I hate replying to posts that sound like trolls. Who cares if it originally demoed on a Cray or an SGI? Game development frequently takes a few years and plans can change. Once upon a time, Halo was supposed to be a PlayStation game too.

    But that was when it was a Myth/scifi hybrid. It was much more of a RTS game, not any sort of first-person game.

    Bungie posted a history of Halo a few months ago...

    And of course they're pretty upfront about their history too.
