i think personly yes i really hated halo 4 and want bungie back

No. While I despise Halo 4 and love the Halo's Bungie made (even with their minor flaws), I think it's right that Bungie is done with Halo. Bungie has made it clear that they were wanting to move beyond Halo for quite some time before they handed off the series. Why force them to develop a franchise that they're tired of running? But having said that, we also know that Bungie still loves Halo. But you can still love something and know that it's time for it to end. I loved Breaking Bad, but after a while it had to end to preserve the integrity of the story and characters. Same thing with Halo. Bungie was done. They wanted to try new things, stretch their wings (so-to-speak) and reach higher than Halo. In order to do that, they had to become their own independent studio again and break free from Microsoft ownership. The price of that was to sign over Halo. It was a "win" from both sides. If Bungie had been forced to still develop Halo when they were beyond that franchise as a studio, then we'd have atill received a sub-par Halo experience. Why? Because their hearts wouldn't be in it any more. So no, OP. I don't think Bungie should buy the rights to Halo. I don't think they should really ever work on Halo again. they're beyond that. They've told the story they wanted to tell with their Halo games, and they were done long before ODST and Reach came about. While they still put their hearts and souls into those last two Halo games, you could tell that they were ready to move on. While I agree that it's a damn shame how 3fail3 is gutting the franchise only to appeal to unskilled masses of casuals, that may just be what Halo needs in order to finally die. to fade quietly into the night. But I do not believe that Bungie should ever touch Halo again. (besides, do you realize the size of the retcon they would need to enact in order to fix the abortion that 3fail3 has made of the series?) *shudders*
