While bungie has been a influential deal to microsoft studio's and to the halo universe, but what does that mean for all the "halo" fans, we all know activision history on games, from cod series to rock band series to many series, tho they mainly had a leash over every one else and slashing of projects that deemed less profit returns for them. But since bungie has signed a 10 year publishing deal, we all know activision is multi platform NEVER "ONE PLATFORM" but what does this mean for the halo universe is it the end. since bungie studio's has vowed to move on to other projects, with it's annual profit margin for october. So it seems ps3 owners may finally get a taste of the halo universe or flavour that is. Even i was shocked to here it. not that bungie made a deal but that activisions signing every one. but from what i heard bungie is also sourcing what other options are out there in publishing world of games. So will this be the end of the one exclusive game. what happens if #Gran turismo #Forza #Metal gear solid #Halo I mean these are examples but what happens if they become less exclusive and cross platform would that annoy you Well hell Alan wake might get a new publisher and the results become a wii game.
You're off on so many levels. Rock Band isn't published by Activision as far as I know. It's a partnership, therefore Bungie have the right to do anything they want. Activision will publish it but they won't force them to make CoDs or etc. Bungie won't make Halo anymore, Halo is now at the hands of 343 Industries, made up of commendable ex-Bungie employees and other big-name studio employees.
No i m not off topic if bungie is going to make games for cross platforms. regardless what lease halo has for what ever developer. bungie still has the source codes dev kits, so im not off topic, Just picture ps3 as bungies new home now.
For a developer who usually seems so in touch with their fan base, it's kinda shocking to me that they signed with ACTIVISION for all people. Yuck. I'm glad Insomniac signed with EA. I wish Bungie did too.

Well if any developer signs up with activision it becomes cross platform. Same with "ea" studios. since they are big publishers in the gaming world then i guess they gotta do what they gotta do, but all im stating is what happens if all games we love "Gran turismo" for example tho that would never happen. what happens if it received support from another publisher, or i like to call investor. who knows the next cod series might be made by bungie for the wii

No but they did sign a deal, that states they can use activisions paint brush and garden shed as long as they make good games, i doubt halo is finished, after all it's a business and in business money speaks louder then fans so expect another look alike halo game with call of duty, only 3rd party devs actually listen to their fans. And even if bungie chooses another path you must remember halo is all they can really design. if they make a horror game it will be themed "'gunt works" if they make a car game it will be "hog rash" if it's a jet game it will obiviously be "pelicans 2" well what ever the case is activision wont be happy, so with activisions interest they will stamp ps3,360,pc,wii as the platform of choice.

It's a partnership. It's not finished, READ THE OTHER POSTS. 343 Industries will continue to expand upon the Halo franchise. Bungie will start a new project which is whatever they feel like doing, only the game will be published by Activision Comprehension ftw
343 is the worst game developer in the industry, Well a struggling on. it's the end of halo, but the beginning of cloned halos or better generic,lorddaggeroff

They've never made a single game in their life. Stop trying to act smart.

343 has not created a game yet, but they are made up of very talented people who are responsible for many great games.

you clearly have no clue what you are talking about
Old but my thoughts: If they make another FPS series, I will not buy another Bungie franchise as long as I live.
Zanoh
why? bungie's proven that FPS's are what they are good at with Halo and Marathon, who knows they could take console FPS's to the next level again like they did with halo.
yay! halo (or whatever they call the multiplat ripoff) every year!
Riverwolf007
No. You have no idea what you're talking about, either. Bungie won't make anymore Halos and they won't be forced to milk their new project every year by Activision.

Microsoft obviously retains ownership of the Halo IP. Would've been unimaginably stupid of them to let go of a billion dollar franchise.

That could very possibly be the worst/best sentence I've read today.
From what I've read about the arrangement Bungie is in control of practically everything about the game including platforms and release date while Activision handles things like marketing and distribution. Nothing really bad about that.
You are super late with that buddy, but basicly Bungie signed with Activision to multiplat games, and no HALO is not multiplat, M$ owns Halo, but now Bungie is free to make other games
