Recon is likely Bungie's last Halo project but I completely doubt Microsoft will let their plump cash-cow die. I'd be interested to see what else Bungie can make. I'm sure it will be great.

Myth? did Bungie ever buy the rights back? I miss that game. I hope it isn't a Marathon. Bungie always had a talent for breaking out into new realms before Microsoft bought them. I look forward to what they are up to. My bet, whatever it is, will not be a FPS but multiplayer will definitely be a part of it.

MMO console game? Only if...

I'll be excited when the Halo franchise is dead.

Halo is AIGHT

halo is fun. why all the hate? it's not perfect but it is a very solid multiplayer experience. maybe not the best, but definitely very polished and plenty of people still play it.

Thank goodness. Let Bungie move on to something else.

fuck halo, i went and bought halo 3 and it was like an fps time capsule.

Hating on Halo may be trendy, but it's only because it's appropriate and deserving.

As for no more Halo? I'll believe it when I see it. Bungie has yet to impress me with anything they've worked on (that includes Marathon). Maybe a new IP will give them a creative kick start to produce something of quality.

With every continuing iteration of halo, people will lose respect for something that was a true marvel when it was just 3 games. Though naturally you will have the fanboy/girl legions following behind chief.

I enjoy Halo. You guys can hate on it all you want because I still remember when you all fapped to it and worshiped it religiously. ;)

I'm not the Halo zealot I used to be, but I still love the games. Bungie are great developers, and I'm really excited to see what they do next.

@brainderailment: Really? Mediocre? I'd hardly say that. As far as shooters go, Halo is really only outclassed by the Half-Life series (imo).

I love Halo. It's awesome. Sad to see Bungie stop making the games... but I hope they oversee Halo 4, like kinda watch over it and give tips even if they aren't the primary developers.

The Halo series were good games. Halo 3 was a dissapointment imho but that's probably because of the hype juggernaught. With that in mind I'd be glad to see Halo end or at least take a break. While I know the relentless marketing and hype serve their dark, nefarious purpose from a financial point of view, Halo reached its critical mass a long time ago and I honestly think more games and Halo-related hysteria only hurt a once extremely well liked franchise.
Hell, just look at how many people chimed in here just to say Halo sucks. The corrosive effect of hype at work ladies and gentlemen.

To you dipshits that are saying people say they don't like Halo because it's trendy: FUCK. YOU. I don't like what Halo has become, because it sucks ass. It's not fun. Halo 1 multiplayer was. After that, it turned to shit. After they realized how shitty 2 was, they managed to fix it a little, but the same punk-ass idiot kids that loved 2 kept playing, so all you get to play with is pre-pubescent shit heads that think it's the greatest thing since tits. I'm not saying the reason they suck is because of the people that play them, but it just adds to the fact that it evolved into such a shitfest.

"I like Halo, therefore anyone that hates it is just being trendy and has never played it to know." Suck my over-shielded dick.

so Master Chief really stays floating in space forever....or something?

Holy hell, this comment section is nasty...

I have seen many, many comments on how Halo is mediocre, shit, terrible, worst game ever... I have NEVER seen anything to back this up, that wasnt a personal opinion.

Lets face it guys; a lot of you just dont like Halo. Thats fine; no-one likes everything. Why you feel the need to belittle the series at every opportunity, to the point of commenting on articles about a game series you dont like, im not sure. The only thing i can think of is that youre upset or jealous at how much more popular Halo is than the games you like; but i dont understand that at all.

Heres how i see it: Halo is a game series. Its better polished and designed than most (but certainly not all), and appeals to many people. Admittedly, a lot of those people are dickheads, but thats hardly the games fault.

As for what the article is actually about... i hope this is the last Halo game by Bungie. They need to get some fresh ideas going. Im looking forward to whatever they think of next.
