This miay be a dumb question, but who will develop Halo?

Bungie remains an independent company and will continue to own their intellectual property.
Stumpokapow said:err... I thought Microsoft had right of first refusal?
Blizzard are under activision too aren't they?Genesis Knight said:I say again...
Goddamn fucking piece of shit. GODDAMN! And just after I swore I'd never buy another CoD because of the way Activision's ruthlessly churns out releases every goddamn six months just to rape your wallet. Now Bungie, one of the last devs out there who seems to give a damn about a game for the game's sake jumps in fucking bed with them?
Day ruined.

Maybe Capgod? That would of been a smarter choice. Imagine a Final Fight done by the Oni team.Shurs said:Why are people surprised they chose Activision? What were you expecting, Ignition?
miladesn said:10 year partner-ship with the Devil?! Now I'm seeing why Activision didn't care about IW. smh @ bungie

selig said:I now firmly believe that NO developer, outside of maybe Nintendo, Valve and Blizzard, has any kind of honor. That´s just...ridiculous. Could have stayed with Microsoft...

Empty said:the timing of this is too hilarious. the saga of activision over the last few months is like 100x better than the story in MW2, and this twist is amazing.
Because when I think successful FPS publishing, I think Capcom.Matt_C said:Maybe Capgod? That would of been a smarter choice. Imagine a Final Fight done by the Oni team.
Sad day indeed for gaming. Very unfortunate.

Ah well, just publishing deal i guess, no ownership of ip etc ?
Colour manuals will be in the Limited Edition. Colour manuals with an additional two pages outlining future DLC plans will be in the Collector's Edition. .pdf files of the colour manuals with a further page featuring a letter from Kotick to you, the loyal consumer, will be available from the Activision website once you've paid a small subscriber's fee and agreed to receive emails from selected partners.Pandoracell said:So much for Bungie games having nice manuals. HELLLOOO 4 pages of black and white!

Wish they'd gone with EA though.
Thomper said:Technically, they're still somewhat independent. The most important part of that press release people seem to be forgetting: Bungie will own the properties they put out.
SonOfABeep said:My reality is crashing down around me. This is hugely disappointing. How could the MW2 bullshit going on during these negotiations allowed Bungie to dive headfirst into this clusterfuck?
Whatever, I hope they still make good games. I was looking forward to them being independent. Respawn was a step forward for developers, this is a step back.
It's actually a much bigger deal because Bungie is a AAA developer that makes mega hit games.Fersis said:So this is like Insomniac going multiplatform ?
