lol, it's clear you have no idea what you're talking about.. [quote]Would halo be the game it is today without Microsoft's marketing campaign?[/quote] would xbox even exist today, were it not for halo? probably not. [quote]Then after blowing halo up which essentially made bungie what it is today Microsoft allowed bungie to buy itself back and become an independent company again.[/quote] lol, that isn't what happened.....Bungie split off from microsoft, as an LLC.....and continued to partner with microsoft for projects, for a few years afterward. [quote]So I am wondering why you all haven't supported the Xbox like you do the playstation?[/quote] because they're no longer required to? [quote]Don't you all think you owe Microsoft a bit?[/quote] oh, you mean the 7 years that microsoft literally owned them, wasn't enough? [quote]Why not exclusives for the Xbox?[/quote] because they didn't feel like it? or maybe because the microsoft games division didn't offer a deal? [quote]How about some master chief armor? A special mount or ship? What about the halo assault rife?[/quote] how about, that IP belongs to microsoft, and is managed by 343? you really don't get how all that works, do you? [quote] I just would think you all would help Microsoft like they helped you all?[/quote] again, i'm fairly certain Bungie did more for Microsoft...if anything, Microsoft should be thanking Bungie, for making their console a success...because without Halo, Xbox would have fell flat on it's face. [quote]The Xbox controller was pretty much designed for this game after all[/quote] no it wasn't....where do you GET this shit? [quote]so we all know it plays better on the Xbox controller than the duel shock[/quote] this is just f**king retarded. oh, and it's "dual"...plz learn to spell. [quote]which has the unfortunate problem of the duel shock joy sticks bumping together[/quote] .....no they don't...what the f**k are you talking about? [quote]Throw us Xbox people some exclusive love dang it! We supported you and now you all should support us.[/quote] they did support you...for 7 years, with an entire exclusive franchise, and a successful gaming platform, for you to latch onto, and fanboy for... PLEASE tell me this post is satire, and that you're not really this stupid.

I had 5 360's explode so I went to Sony. The way I see it, Microsoft still owes me.

Truth be told Halo pulled the floundering Xbox out of the fire. MS recognized what could potentially be a great game and went after it. Before Halo the Xbox just wasn't selling. They promoted Halo because they desperately needed a selling point for their new console.

Looking at the history of xbox. I'd say bungie helped MS. Not the other way around. If it wasn't for halo, there would be no xbox.

Lol I read that doing the undying mind strike wielding my hawkmoon PMSL

Money.

Isn't that content exclusive for 1 year? Won't we get it down the line too?

Bungie created friends list and the matchmaking system that Microsoft later had implemented as a standard feature for their system. The [b]ONLY[/b] reason to buy an Xbox back in the early 2000's was for Halo...
