Did Bungie mean to end the Halo series with Halo 3?
Let me elaborate. I'm wondering if Bungie meant for the Halo 3 ending to be the true ending to the Halo series, that 343's Halo games would mean nothing. Did Bungie leave the Halo 3 ending unexplained so that 343 could continue it, or did they do it to bring the "true" Halo story to a close that was up for interpretation? Will Bungie consider the next Halo games to be true Halo?
I've been wondering what Bungie thinks of 343 continuing the series, that is unless Bungie meant to close the Halo story with the third installment.
Uh...discuss where you think 343 is going with the next Halo games.

*Clears throat* here we go again... WHO CARES? if the story makes sense, and it does, then why do we need to know if it was meant to be like tht? :P and as far as how 343 will do, IM SICK OF HATERS... they will do just fine, and i'm VERY excited for halo 4... who cares if it isnt bungie? its bungies universe that they have created and it will be continued without the creators and carried over just fine.

It seems that way to me OP. Halo 3 had one of the most perfect, bittersweet endings of all time. I would have had no problem with them leaving it like that.

Nope. They had originally planned to do Halo 4, but they knew it would take more than 1 game. With only 1 game on contract, they did Reach instead.
-
I believe they did wanted, but they had to finish their contract with Microsoft. Also they meant the "Finish the fight" thing which was more like the end for the Halo franchise, but again I could be wrong. 343 was created by Microsoft to make more money out the franchize, that's no discussion there. Bungie created Halo for the people to enjoy a game, Microsoft it's continuing it to make money out it and created 343 to do it. [Edited on 05.02.2012 5:34 PM PDT]

They were done with master chiefs story, but they left it with a conclusive ending, that also was open enough for MS to still pick up on it after bungies halo contract ended.

As publisher, MS was only ever in it for the cash. But you've seen the interviews. Everyone who is there is working at 343i because they love Halo.

I think Bungie wanted to leave the Chief drifting in space. I have a feeling the legendary ending was added as a recommendation (demand?) from Microsoft. Who knows. I still like that Bungie did a great job of self-containing their Halo games to work completely outside of Microsoft's story.
-
Uh they had two games left after Halo 3, those were ODST and Reach. I believe Bungie left the ending open so that the Franchise could continue when they ultimately handed over the creative rights to microsoft.

It was pretty awesome, ending in space just like Halo 1 and 2 before it, not explaining everything but still making it feel like the story had come to a completion... it was really great.

It seems like the most plausible answer.

The Halo 3 ending was fine. No need to add unnessasary sequels. Halo 3 - Finish the Fight Halo 4 - Re-finish the Fight
-
I think what they meant by "Finish the Fight" was that you stop the Covenant,Truth and the Flood from the first triology,and in my opinion I thought that the ending for Halo 3 was sad and depressing. You fought hard in three games going through different situations in the story and right when you finish Halo 3 you see your favorite Spartan floating out in space drifting alongside a mysterious planet and then it ends.
-
Bungie planed to make halo 4 as their last halo game instead of reach, but they realised that starting a new fight and then leave it to others to finish would not make any sence.
-
Legendary ending. /thread They contemplated making Halo 4 rather than Reach (thank God they didn't).

As one of my pals put it, people don't know what they want util they have it. I understand that you have your own opinions, but don't kill the baby before its born ok?

Yeah they should've ended it with Halo 3. For me, the Halo franchise ended when Bungie left Microsoft. Bungie4life

Bungie4life[/quote] You know that you can like Bungie and 343i at the same time right? Halo's Universe is far to large to end, personally I'm happy they are continuing to expand on the franchise.

-
bungie made it so it could continue, usually when a game ends with unanswered questions there will be another game to answer them
-
They left an ending that, if needed, could've served as the final ending in the Halo franchise, but if Microsoft wanted to continue with the series it would also be possible.
