98% of Bungie now 'not working on Halo'

Ninety-eight per cent of Bungie's employees have now stopped working on Halo and moved over to the studio's new multiplatform project, the developer's told CVG.

.
Curious about their new project.

And all of the publishers in the world, they ended up with Activision......... : /

10 years at that.

[GWAVE]

Yeah, I smell another Tim Schafer/Brutal Legend debacle with Activision.

$100 says that after one game with Activision, the majority of the Bungie staff leaves Bungie, forms a new studio, and shacks up with EA.

[XactGamer]

Many of Bungies vets have joined 343. Once Atcivision sucks the life out of the rest of Bungie the only ones left will be the guys who cleaned the toilets and then their games will truly be sh!t.

...and if I were a fan that means the sweet sweet release of Reach could be in my hands this month but I'd still have to wait until September 14th :(

Woo the pressure!

[Perjoss]

the other 2% are making tea and coffee for the 98% working on Halo.

[nygamer28]

no shit.....there done with halo,now there working on there new ip with activision

[THC CELL]

I was done with halo, since halo 2
Waste of time it is

Call of duty will only steal its MP crown again, even tho i hate call of duty now
Thanks to MW2.

[D4RkNIKON]

You're not alone.

[KingME]

Were you done with halo since halo 2 because you don't own a 360? That's more likely the real reason, not because it was a waste of time. And you hate MW2, wow so what do you like?

(Awaiting list of PS3 exclusives)

[tdrules]

so does that mean the post launch support wont be as solid as Halo 3's was

[XactGamer]

Activision + support = no such thing, so stop making up fairy tails.

[tdrules]

*tales

Halo Reach is not published by Activision, and in retroscect 343 Industries will probably support it.
And Activision does support their games, paid DLC is better than no DLC

[BISHOP-BRASIL]

DLC =/= support

Selling crap that should already be on the disc isn't support. Efficiently patching glitches, bugs and other annoyances, while also guiding the game to the community reports and needs, that's support.

lol..

Manager: "That's enough boys.. We're done with this Halo: Reach shit.. time to develop a completely different game now"

Halo team: "Ahhh.. what? Come on dude.. We want our holiday! You promised. D:"

Manager: "Going on a holiday will not put money in our pocket, Now get back to work, Bitches!! >:D"

[Newtype]

activision.....that's gonna end up bad.

[iMaim]

what are the other 2% of the employees doin then?

[pr0digyZA]

Probably fixing any last minute bugs or getting ready for shipping.

[Fishy Fingers]

So will Reach DLC be handled by MS?

[sack_boi]

If by MS you mean by i343, then yes.

[danielle007]

It's a lil bit sad.. End of an era, kind of.

But, hopefully their new IP is something amazing.

[saimcheeda]

to move on!
