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.

They have repeatedly told us that they wanted to continue making Halo. Also, I believe that they would have probably continued doing so till this day, however something happened between Microsoft and Bungie. It was probably around 2006-2007. Microsoft was probably demanding something Bungie didn't want to make, so they quit, otherwise I don't see any logical reason for Bungie not to make more Halo games, aside from developer staleness that occurs when you make the same thing over and over again. In the end, it doesn't matter. Bungie had their ups and downs, the community is widely split over which game they like. Halo 2 or 3 will probably end up winning polls for the best Halo game, but Halo Wars is probably the only game that won't get a significant proportion of the votes.
