As long as Activision (aka CoD) are buddies with Microsoft we will see this kind thing happen. But with the partnership ending at the end of the year and out of the blue a new Halo, who really knows what will happpen. Until then 343i is kind of being made to use certain details so CoD looks better. I mean after all Bungie signed a 10 year deal with Activision to make their MMOFPS.
Herp a derp. It is a conspiracy.
I think you are trying to tell me something, but your bad grammar is blocking me…
Activision is a hell of a lot more than just CoD. This is also the first time that there isn’t a 3 year difference between major halo games, so maybe, or they could have saved some time using bits of Halo:reach to build Halo 4.
