I just think that they are a company formed for the sole purpose of churning out sequels and remakes to gullible customers for purely moneymaking purposes. I also predicted that they would be making a Halo 4 and they are. While Bungie knew where to finish with Halo 3 and carrying on to try new things with ODST and reach 343 will probably keep churning out medicore sequels

They're a new studio, we don't know who's in the team.
They might turn out some good games or they might churn out bollocks.
As I'm not a fan of Bungie or Halo in the first place I'm pretty neutral on it tbh.

Corrinne Yu is a big name there. Seriously big brain on that one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrinne_Yu
Halo wont be the same without Marty though. :(
Stupid trolling post is stupid. And trolling.
Ryan Payton worked on MGS4. He's on Twitter.
"They're a new studio, we don't know who's in the team."
I usually don't know any of the guys who make the games I enjoy and to be honest I usually don't care.
Still appreciate the work the invisible guys behind those do. :)
/Has nothing to contribute to the topic.
Before you start judging, wait til you have atleast played their game, it's like a jury deciding who is guilty without anyone presenting any evidence.
im not trolling
its just that remaking Halo: ce with the reach engine seems like a bit of a cop out
but i'll wait to see what they produce anyway
I don't think it's a cop out. It's a good way to generate cash for MS for sure - but it's also a nice fan service. It's something people have been asking for. Not Halo 2 or Halo 3 - they want Halo:CE. Logically having the 343 studio do it makes sense in terms of getting experience, skilling up etc and revisiting where the Halo franchise has been heading with more recent releases at the same time.
Why is it a copout? What exactly is a copout about producing a product that fans the world over have repeatedly said 'I would buy that in a heartbeat' to?
Was God of War HD a copout? Was the Sly collection a copout? Prince of persia? How about Banjo-Kazooie or Perfect Dark?
Halo:CE with an updated engine, achievements and those original multiplayer maps is a dream come true to millions, and would sell gangbusters. Similarly fans of Halo want to see the finish to John's story, hence Halo 4.
343 know the demand is there and are supplying. End of story. If you think any games producer does what they do far anything other than 'moneymaking purposes' then you are completely deluded.
Perhaps your post might have sounded less like a blatant troll wrapped in the guise of a legitimate post if you hadnt been such a condescending cunt and called fans of Halo 'gullible'.
You have beef with a popular franchise so tried to position yourself 'above' it and its fans with a very obvious 'please validate my opinion' post.
