Bungie's decision to make a Halo 3 Legendary Ending
Is anyone curious why Bungie made a Legendary ending in Halo 3 if they were planning to depart from MS studios? I believe that Halo 3 should be the end because only Bungie can make a great Halo game. Sadly I think that 343 Industries will fail at their attempt to make Halo 4 as Bungie made it what it is today. I'm glad that Bungie have decided to move on from Halo as they know and so do I that they can make better kick-ass games and complete their 7 steps to world domination. So could anyone post their opinion on the Halo 3 Legendary Ending that would maybe help me understand about their decision to make a possibility for Halo 4.

The ending to Halo 3 felt fitting to me. Though I believe that anything past the ending should just be a book or a comic. Then again that does not bring as much profit to MS as would a game.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] x Foman123 x= To the OP: to me it's perfectly reasonable that Bungie would leave the storyline open. It happens in movies and books all the time, whether or not the creator intends to make a sequel. Creating an ending suggesting that the Master Chief's story will continue is, by no means, implying that Bungie is going to create another Halo game.[/quote] As a matter of fact, the Halo 3 ending was very similar to that of Halo 1. Halo 1 ended the story, but left it open that they [i]could[/i] continue on if they wanted. Halo 3 ended in much the same way

Crap, I missed being a good little forum cop.

HALO 4 Bungie already wrote the storyline for the game's campaign. [Edited on 06.13.2011 1:34 PM PDT]

[quote] [url=http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2010/10/jobs-turned-down-bungie-at-first-how-microsoft-burned-apple.ars]Microsoft was impressed, and it wanted the game as an exclusive for the Xbox. But Bungie wasn't interested in just selling the game, according to Deniz, it wanted to sell the company. Microsoft's Ed Fries went back to his bosses to ask for the budget to buy the developer.[/url][/quote]

I'm happy that 343 is bringing the master chief back into the Halo series, didn't like the diretion that reach took. I'm going to wait for more video/info to be released before making my mind up weather or not they failed.

CUZ BUNGEE ONLY CAN MAKE GOOD STORY IN HALO. NOT 343 CUZ THEY ARENT BUNGEE" This is just ignorance. At least wait until they've finished the game before you judge it/ the company. [/quote] What...? He simply said I THINK that they will fail. He didn't say it with any absolute knowledge or anything. Way to make yourself look like a fool. OP: To be honest, and this is probably far fetched, I think Microsoft probably told them to create a cliffhanger at the end of the game to leave the possibility open to creating more. That's just my two cents.

But I guess 343 wants to carve a new legend for the Chief.

They respect the game and they have been around with Halo for a while. They are pretty much a studio made of of a lot of Halo fans. Give them a chance.. Don't get so caught up in "Bungie isn't making Halo anymore now it will suck" kinda stuff.
-
Given that the series is so valuable, and putting a definitive end to it would be unwise for future investment, we can pretty much bank on every single Halo ending being a cliffhanger in the foreseeable future; whether the next game is planned or not. [Edited on 06.13.2011 7:16 AM PDT]

[/quote] Why do you assume that without the Legendary ending there could be no Halo 4? The game otherwise ends with the line "Wake me when you need me", which leaves things pretty wide open. The legendary ending actually narrowed things down quite a bit, pointing in the direction that they expected the next game to go. Basically, Microsoft wanted to make Halo 4, and Legendary ending or not, I'm sure it would have happened.

Well they planed on doing Halo 4, and then they kind of.. gave up on that idea.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Tactical77 I personally feel the 343 Studios is going to make a successful game. I think it would be close to impossible to screw it up. They have Frankie, they have plenty of ex-Bungie employees, they have 4 games they can draw inspiration from. The recipe is there, they just have to cook it properly.

Microsoft owns Halo. Bungie couldn't kill off the Chief, because he didn't belong to them. The ending is a way to continue the story, without resorting to prequels.

From what I've read, there seems to have always been an objective of creating Halo 4. Its just that when Microsoft offered Bungie to create the new one, they decided to decline and go with Reach. They're contract was up and they didn't want to start something they couldn't finish

After Halo 3, I believe Bungie was conflicted on whether to make a sequel to Halo 3, or to make Halo: Reach. Thus, they had to leave the ending open, even though they opted to make Reach instead.
-
Speculation keeps a story alive: simple as that.
-
The main reason why Bungie created the Halo 3 Legendary ending so that the story may continue in the later future. It's like Harry potter book's collection, you'll never know what might happen next.

Hey forum cops. The thread is about Bungie itself, not about Halo 3. Those of you who are so quick to reply to a thread with a comment about the forum rules would do well to remember that posting off-topic within a thread is also a violation of the forum rules. To the OP: to me it's perfectly reasonable that Bungie would leave the storyline open. It happens in movies and books all the time, whether or not the creator intends to make a sequel. Creating an ending suggesting that the Master Chief's story will continue is, by no means, implying that Bungie is going to create another Halo game.
