hahahah bungie is microsoft they will never have bad releations even tho bungie has left the ms building they wont support any other system.

"Oh, snap. Microsoft and Bungie just moved into the
“It’s Complicated” status of Facebook relationships. Well, Microsoft better buy Bungie some chocolates and flowers soon, before they start sleeping with Sony. Then, things could get ugly."

That was funny

Bungie will never betray it's fans.

its too bad that they had a divorce

No the relationship is fine, they are just trying to create buzz. I remember the time they created buzz with 4 player coop mode.

Microsoft doesn't have very good pr, so who knows.

LOL

I Bungie left because Microsoft likes to micro-manage. They wanted all Halo, all the time. Bungie wanted to do other things. You can't really blame either. Bungie got bored, MS was making a ton of money.

"By now, almost everyone knows about Microsoft's very unusual decision to not show Bungie's Halo game at E3 last week. "

Is that in reference to Halo Wars?
Isn't that project being undertaken by someone other than Bungie?

made Halo3 with Halo2 engine? Well a lot of effort and resource was put into it Halo2 graphics as u can imagine.

Its obvious they arent going to use the same graphics for next halo. Therefore, i conclude they'll make 2 halo games for every graphic engine.

Now its upto MS/Bungie whether to optimise a new graphic engine for this generations xbox which will overlap the next gen, or to wait and start afresh for next gen(2010).

Or maybe they'll stick with the same old graphics and release the next halo with 2 year span.

A lot of improvements were noticeable with Halo2, and earnt its rep. Halo3 is definitely outdated

I know that Bungie are still tied to Msoft legally in terms of developing games, but the spilt, now the recent events at E3 are all pointing to the inevitible, and that is Bungie developing a game for other platforms such as the Wii and PS3...eventually. Which is not a bad thing, the Halo franchise is still and always will be owned by Msoft, but game developers are now more artist then ever before, they want to make games that push the imgaination, that are innovative, games that are not bounded my money or deadlines. Giving them a clean slate will only make for better games.

I think that with all the viral campaigns and things that Bungie is usually involved in...it is sort of hard to take things to seriously. This has serve to keep Bungie/Microsoft in the spot light way beyond E3.....and is forming to be the big story from E3.

Microsoft is like a evil dictator. And only the weak would follow Microsoft.

is the scent of bullsh!t coming outta your mouth. Even if they did MIcrosoft owns the halo IP. There's no way it'll EVER go multi and halo is the only good game they make.

I'll fight you little pu$$y ass blue screen, then we'll see whos the weak one and whos the killer.

Yeah it's obvious long time ago. The Huge news coming at the first week of august or whatever the sites have been rumoring is in Fact the Halo Franchise coming to he ps3. U guys said that companies like squaresoft wanna make extra cash with FF13, well Bungie would like to make some as well. End of story.

maybe they should go to counseling that might help

Lol, relationship problems.
That does not sound right. xD

ewww something stinks. something smelly!

wanting motion sensing controller for HALO (i think)?

M$ losing Bungie? whats next RARE making a (good) Mature game?

This would be the end of the Xbox 360 if it happen.

Whatever's going on, I'm sure that the media will always be there to blow it out of proportion. Until I hear more official statements from either party, I'll sweep this news under the BS Bag.

If Microsoft loses Bungie as their exclusive developer then the Xbox is doomed.
Halo 4 might be the last game we hear from Bungie when making exclusive games for Microsoft's Xbox.
Microsoft doesn't seem to appreciate their developers as much as they do with their money and power.
Microsoft might own the rights to Halo but they don't own Bungie so if Bungie walks down on Microsoft then the 360 will be in some major big trouble.

wtf this is such a lame article! "it's complicated stage on facebook"? who wrote this? a middle schooler? sure companies will get angry if they don't get featured at e3, but considering how boring this last one was, I'd much rather have an exclusive event dedicated strictly to halo 4, and i think so, at this point, does bungie.

People can make all the excuses they want fanboys n all the bottom line is Bungi wanted to go independent for a reason you can t say M$ didn t make them rich because they did. But if you look at the decision that R* did with GTAIV to release to multi platform the same day which broke records world wide and knock Halo sales record out from #1 i think Bungi seen what that did and maybe is thinking of releasing a Halo title multi platform as well. And to the people who say Bungi wouldn t betray the fans is living in the same dream world that SE fans lived in because no 1 thought that would ever see the light of day. Games are costing more and more money everyday and to acually make a profit is this industry you have to sell alot of games just to break even let alone make a few bucks.. Bottom line is anything can happen nothing is imposible and everyone has a price $$$

lol

This is very telling about Microsoft's attitude toward their consumers. They are more concerned with marketing and time schedules than throwing dedicated fans a bone. By reading this article, I can tell Ryan agrees with me. Though I think the author is making more of the situation than it really is.

haha *bring out pop corn*

maybe microsoft would put the halo name on everything and make spin offs, like fraiser....................... ...the following is a joke so dont take it seriously

halo combat racing
halo vrs. gears wrestling
dance dance revolution halo edition
halo 4 refinish the battle
halo 5 post war clean up
the sims: halo edition
master chief the master cheif
halo the puzzle!
HALO KITTY
halo wars
halo chronicles
halo episodes
halo fiesta

places to look for "complications" between Bungie and MSFT. Sorry, but if it is a game within the Halo franchise, then it is up to MSFT what o do with it, I am sure they payed plenty to make sure of it. I agree with what MSFT did in not showing it, because they had a good enough E3 and they dropped a bomb with FF13 announcement. Plus why not release this nugget closer to the release of GeOW2 so more people will be talking about the 360 and really just get more press for it.
