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.

CEA does NOT count. Anyways, Bungie intended for the trilogy to end at Halo 3. One example of this truth is a common western writing technique that most would call "coming full circle." At the beginning of Halo: CE, the chief gets out of a cryo tube, while at the end of Halo 3, he gets back into the cryo tube. It's a subtle symbolism that speaks volumes. So, yeah, I care if it's not Bungie. The story was meant to end and I feel like it's doing Halo a disservice by continuing it in this manner. Hell, there aren't any flood in Halo 4. Halo was about the flood. They could have at least changed the name. Of course, that wouldn't mean as much money because consumers are lemmings and will better gravitate to the name Halo. I really with that the series was just put to rest. But that's not happening, so I'll just opt to not buy Halo 4. Simple fix.

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.
