I think you just broke the forums with those large images XD Setting looks cool, still, will miss out because it's console exclusive so far. Was pretty surprised since Bungie isn't Microsoft owned anymore, and they seemed like they weren't particularly for being pressured into doing the mainstream thing (in that none of the Halo games had iron sight aiming, kept their open style level design instead of hardcore linear scripting) and then come out to say "[people don't play shooters on PC anymore]"
Those one forums would agree. I've always liked Bungie, and I'd probably have one of the Halo's were it on PC, but it isn't. I was under the impression that Bungie was going to be working on the next two Halo games, so is this a complete standalone? Gotta say the concept art makes me think of Tribal UNSC.
343 is working on Halo now. Halo CE and 2 are on PC, but I think they didn't continue because 2 bombed on PC. They didn't realise it wasn't because of the game, it's because MS were trying to sell Vista using it. And that it was 4 years old by that time
Damn girl, you respond fast. I thought 343 and Bungie were like a bundled thing, you hire out one company, you get the other.
343 Industries was formed solely for developing Halo games before Bungie became independent. There ARE a few Bungie folk at 343 (like Frankie), but for the most part it's an entirely separate team. 343i now vacates Bungie's previously owned studio, while Bungie moved only 15 minutes away. I visited both studios on the same day last PAX. They're both very pretty, and 343i holds some sweet coffee & doughnut community shindigs. c:
