Bungie.

I've never heard of this "M$." Perhaps it is some dumb synonym for the proper acronym of Microsoft. Hmm. Bungie was a division of Microsoft during the development of Halo 3.

Really, you NEVER heard of the acronym "M$". Sureeee...

Was Microsoft Game Studios like Microsoft's own Game developing wing (Halo 2) or what?

Whoosh.

Microsoft Game Studios is primarily a publisher, not a full-fledged development company, and it still exists, so I'm not sure as to why you refer to it in past tense. Furthermore, MGS did not develop Halo 2, Bungie did, so I don't know why you have "Halo 2" there.

Microsoft Game Studios is a publisher, like Ubisoft or EA; they fund developers to make games and then hold the publishing and distribution rights for those games (as per their agreement with the developer, which can be different case by case).

In short, they are involved in approving game concepts, budgets, and deadlines, providing testing resources for the developer, packaging and shipping the finished product, approving and publishing game updates, and commissioning new content (DLC).

P.S. Halo 2 Xbox was made by Bungie, a wholly owned (at the time) independent studio within Microsoft. Halo 2 PC was made by a temporarily assembled team of Microsoft employees called Hired Gun.

P.P.S. Tural sucks by 2 minutes.

The Microsoft Game Studio logo just made me think that Microsoft was more than just a publisher, and the (Halo 2) was referring to the log while loading the game.

I really would have thought M$ had helped them make Co-op.
Cause Bungie said it was hard
[Offtopic=Halo2]
What's the true reasoning for Halo 2X not being co-op?
was it really rushed Schedule? or was the xbox hardware not enough, so they didn't bother with finishing?

Would H2V be modded anytime this year, to allow co-op?
now, if one person or team, has experience in making things sync, would they be able to do it for most games?[/offtopic]

He knows, I'd advise you stop trolling for conflicts. You don't say "Well, here I say it again, but now I'll stop since I have the last word."

There is no such thing as M$, stop using it.

Absolutely not.

No, you see, it implies how Microsoft holds a large quantity of money due to their popularity for software, how they hold almost a monopoly over the computer software industry.
It's really clever if you think about it.

How about a brute or Truth? That would be really cool.

And is that kicking a motion activated by a button?

When you melee, you either punch or kick.
