So, wait... Microsoft wants to continue to develope Halo, but have some one else develope it? I dunno. I'll be suprised if anyone can build a better a Halo. Halo is what it is and as great as it is because of those involved. Despite the fact Bungie has a little bit of say, doesn't make it alot. I dunno, Halo and no Bungie, not feeling it. I won't knock it 'til I see it, but still, not feeling it. As far as playlist updates, I am so ready for team swat! Excellent decision. Now... If only we could deal with those pesky elite folk... @ future projects: I hope another SCI-FI style shooter is in the works somewhere. From Marathon to Halo, Bungie has the SCI-FI shooter thing down. It'd be nice to see something completely new and fresh from Bungie.
