Bungie to Step Back From Halo Series

Posted by Zonk on Monday October 4, 2004 @07:30AM 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."

But as I said, this was many years ago.
Yet, somehow, someone brings up the Mac/Bungie thing on even the flimsiest of pretext every time Halo is mentioned.

Imagine one of your deepest traumas... and add Microsoft.

I can't see the submission queue. but I'll bet some variation on "Micro$oft is teh evil for buying Bungie" gets submitted at least once a month.

Wait for Halo 2 to clear out a million units at 49.99

Then do a price dropped bundle of xbox + halo 2 for 129.99, and xbox, halo, halo 2 for 149.99. And then do a Halo 2 edition xbox with halo 2 + patches and whatever for 199.99 with shinier plastic, master chief action figure and ghost/warthog vehical by McFarlane toys.
