[quote]They lost an entire decade's worth of work to Microsoft...[/quote]They wanted to stop making Halo anyways. Now they can be fans of the franchise. [quote]A lot of the Original Team left to work for 343i...[/quote]If by a lot you mean 4-5 . . . [quote]They teamed up with Activision (???)[/quote]And Blizzard. It will open up more opportunities for them, like cross-platform play. Also, they are not in Infinity Ward's situation; They actually have rights. Better them than EA. [quote]Their last game (Reach) was butchered by negative responses...[/quote]It was received well in general. THe community bashes every current Halo game, just look at what it was like when 3 first came out. Anyways, they make games they want to play, so I'm sure they're proud of it. And that's like your opinion, man. [quote]Something about Paul McCartney.[/quote]Ah, yes! He is working with Marty on the next game's OST. [quote]And yeah... what do you think Bungie is doing nowadays? I hope they are okay.[/quote]I think they are working on their next game and keeping the community entertained during the darkness. Overall, their morale is as high as they can climb on their own rock wall.
