Hey if they're as heavily armored as a space marine you know it's not going to break.

I say they just have all the ring thingies go off so the universe dies and we never ever have to see it again.
I much prefer Nano-Condoms...

My guess is that they'll do a modern-graphics remake of the original Halo: Combat Evolved in a few years. After they've milked that, then they'll probably be done... Maybe.

No idea, but if this game is good, then they should just let it fade out, unlike sonic.
Its the same thing over and over again. At least thats what it feels like. I think halo 3 should of had something different with the playing style, or add a element.

As long as it's a cash cow, it will survive. If they can keep some involvement with Bungie it won't be too bad. When they try to expand it to where it doesn't really belong is where they start to have serious issues.

Literally, it will survive. Spiritually, probably not if Reach is the last that Bungie is involved with.

Considering the cliffhanger at the end of Halo 3, more games are ensured; I see two possible outcomes.

1) This is a big scheme by Bungie. They will either go on to their in-progress IP for a while and go back to Halo on the next generation of gaming platforms, or they may even tie their new IP into Halo sometime. Admittedly, it would be awesome to finish the third in a trilogy of beloved games and find out it's all taken place on the planet Master Chief was near after the credits of Halo 3. Either way, it is fully possible that Bungie has a plan, and will let the franchise lie dormant for a while before picking it up again later in one way or another.

2) Microsoft, holding the right to Halo, will assign it to another company. This is not the preferred option, since franchises have extremely rarely survived a transition from one studio to another (I still mourn Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Star Fox... some would argue even Final Fantasy since Enix merged with Squaresoft). If Halo switches developers, we will have different people doing everything. Halo's gameplay has been ripped off countless times since its creation, so I don't worry for that so much as for... well, everything else. I doubt the story would be as good unless Bioware does it, which they won't. The music would most likely not be by Martin O'Donnel, which saddens me immensely (say what you will about Halo, but no one can talk smack about the brilliant orchestral score).

My preferred option is that Bungie has a plan and Microsoft agrees not to get in the way of it. I'd hate to see Halo get ruined by another developer.

OT: No way. I can't see any company anywhere passing on a cash cow this ripe. There will be lots more Halo to come... Not that that's necessarily a bad thing.

While I do believe that Halo: Reach will be the last of the Halo games, I don't believe that it will be the end of Halo as a whole. I'm guessing there will be many more books, comics, and maybe another Halo: Legends kind of movie for the fans to enjoy. And who knows, maybe another company will give us another game or two, like Ensemble did with Halo Wars.

IT IS a bad thing. Generic branding without personality, what about the creative condoms? The one with style?

It will end the current story arc. The likelihood of Microsoft cutting loose their largest cash cow is pretty slim.

I'm excited for where this game goes, and i don't even own an Xbox 360. The first Xbox game I played for an extended period was Halo 2 and ever since I've watched the series. It may not be for everyone but this looks like to epitome of Halo gameplay. Oh, and thr E3 trailer showed spaceship combat which is definitely unexpected.

Microsoft Made a company called 343 Industries to basically deal with the Halo franchise (Milk it, if you don't like halo).
I wouldn't Mind if this was the last Halo by Bungie(Halo is my equivalent of lost) I'd still buy more if it continued the massive cliffhanger that was Halo 3's legendary ending.
It seems you all have a very pessimistic of Halo.
Now, I'm pretty sure I have a fire blanket 'round here somewhere.

I thought that Halo 3 was the end, and we all know how that turned out. Still, if they're making good games and people are buying them, I don't see why it should be any different.

They're not done. This is waaay too profitable a cow for them to just stop milking it. They're just taking a short break.
