[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Chief Bigwig 343 [b]knows[/b] what they are doing. Why else would Microsoft hire them? [/quote] Because bungie sucked and refused to listen to either the fans OR the people who owned the game ([i]bungie forgot that they sold the game to Microsoft back in 2000 ... even demanding a squatters move-on fee in 2007[/i]). Microsoft had no choice, bungie had serious infighting between the staff. Many had moved on, and many more gladly jumped ship to 343 when the game moved. Can see it is still a mess with the problems Activision are now having to bungie - refusal to attend E3 and the Tokyo show ('[i]lets getinto the PS3 market by ignoring the consoles home?!?[/i]'). Will see what 343 can do ... and if it is to happen it will be after H4 (thats just bungie housekeeping) ... but bungie had to go.
