When did you hear that? I'm a little behind on my gaming news but last I heard Bungie is no longer first party with Microsoft, doesn't mean they've quit or left Halo. It just means they're not forced to make Halo games anymore and can focus on other systems as well. To tell you the truth I'm glad, I'm tired of short repetitive Halo games. Now that Bungie is free to do whatever they want there will be actual quality in there products, not just hype. Finally we'll be able to get our money's worth and the developers at Bungie will be happy. Happier developers better games, as for the Halo series well now other companies can bring some new ideas to the series. No matter how big of a fan you are you must admit the Halo formula is getting old, with this new RTS Halo coming up I'm sure more developers will take on the game and make Halo a much better series.
