Can another company save Halo?
Only company I would trust would be Bungie xD
Activision or Treyarch
Even though they don’t really have much experience in the Multiplayer scene, Irrational Games EXCEL in Single Player, System Shock, Bioshock, Bioshock Infinite, all very very compelling games with brilliant deep stories, detailed side stories and great combat.
Would be interesting to see their take on a Halo game, story wise that is.
They have a unique art direction too, Infinite was very varied, the colours weren’t boring, they were eye catching, something Halo used to have.
There wil NEVER be another company, Microsoft owns Halo and created 343 with the sole purpose of making their Halo games. So unless Microsoft goes under or decides to sell the series 343 will be making Halo for the rest of the franchise’s life. There might be spinoffs like Halo wars 2 that are produced by outside companies but the main games will always be 343.
343 IS Microsoft.

no… just no, if activision takes halo i will never play another halo game ever again.
It’ll never happen, 343I will always make Halo unless they hire a subsidiary company to make a spinoff, similar to how Ensemble was hired to make Halo Wars. If we delved into the hypothetical scenario where another company did make Halo though, I don’t know. Some companies are well known for making excellent games but I don’t think many could take on Halo well. Bungie could do it but Bungie don’t want to anymore, anymore. Without the desire the game won’t have the soul or the feel that Halo is famous for.
I’d say 343 have the potential to fix their mistakes anyway. It’s fairly obvious that they acknowledged their failure with Halo 4 and it’s obvious that they’re trying to fix it in Halo 5. Everyone seems to think that they’re going to put all of their money and resources straight into Halo 4, even though it’s been out for 5 months. It’s just not practical. They’ll fix smaller things here and there, but they won’t make some huge overhaul until Halo 5. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with this. Bungie aren’t even that trust worthy because they’re bored of Halo and will probably just go down the same route. Just look at Halo Reach.
Irrelevant. 343 isn’t going anywhere.

Hate on them all you want but at least they both know how to target their audience unlike 343i who seem to think Halo fans = COD fans and that COD’s gameplay and mechanics appeal to all Halo fans.
I would trust old epic games. With cliff, rod, and Quinn. They made a reeeaaaallllllyyyyyyy awesome multiplayer game with gears 1 and ESPECIALLY 3
Talk about being burned on their own site xD.
yes…Its name is Bungie.

Good for you, but don’t be a hypocrite by playing destiny.
Besides Treyarch versions of CoD are good fun to play. They make better CoD games than IW in my eyes. This is mainly due to the zombie mode that Treyarch puts into their versions. Besides Treyarch listens to the community by adding subtle changes and reverting things back if the community doesn’t like it. Best example is the zombie mode, most zombie fans(including me) didn’t like their new take on an open world zombie mode. So they gave us a new zombie map in the old style -small/medium confined spaces.
At the moment I would rather have Treyarch at the wheel than 343i. But it would be awesome if Bungie still wanted to create Halo and never sold the IP to Microsoft(343i).

Yoink that! Buying the same game over and over is NOT cool.

I agree and by know there audience do you mean that they know that they will buy anything with COD on it.
Honestly I don’t believe we need a new studio. We just need 343 to listen to us more and actually implement the things we ask or need in a fast manner. They have the talent and the ability to do this they can bring Halo back up to the top. They just have to do it right. What I don’t understand is why the community still isn’t uniting to possibly work the settings (minus load-outs) into the classic Halo game-play. Really the only people I’ve seen accomplish things are those who call forth the community to unite or to help get things heard like Time Glitch or the dude who started to get people to take a survey on what they wanted. Things like the survey were replied to immediately after completion same should of been said for time glitches post but that thread was giving off a sort of we will hate you no matter what you say mood every-time I went there. IDK
Do we really need more of this stupid threads i think not.

Hahahha do i dedect sarcasm ?

Halo have no possible salvation. They started this way and will end up even worse, it is impossible to get back now
