*SPOILERS*How do you think halo 3 should have ended*SPOILERS

also Bungie has already signed with Microsoft to make more Halo games, there under a contract. It will continue onward.

I believe it was that Microsoft has rights to existing games (H1, H2, H3), and Bungie has license to make any games they want with the intellectual property.

I believe Microsoft still owns the Halo name.

BIZ: Now that Bungie has gone indie, does it retail all the IP it established before the acquisition (Myth, Oni, Marathon, etc)?
FO: We have Marathon. Microsoft owns Halo, and Take2 I believe, owns Myth and Oni. But we're also all about new ideas.

Microsoft owns the Halo brand, which doesn't allow Bungie to produce more Halo games without Microsoft being a part of it. In the same way Take2 owns the other games, and Bungie can not ever port them to XBLA (As they talked about in a podcast), because they don't own the rights to it.

Ah, alright, that's what it was. I was just being stupid and decided not to check a source, and went off of my crappy memory.

I agree that the unknown hero bit is perfect.
It's the fact that there was SO much anticipation to see it, then a total let-down (screw you Bungie.net forum rumors).
