In Response To: Re: not to pop your bubble... (paolo mk IV)

: What I mean is that all this Halo movement was somehow ignited, being infact
: part of a complex, desk studied marketing campaign set up by
: microsoft/bungie.

...
you haven't really read up on the Halo section here at the Marathon Story Page, have you? If you had, you would know that nearly all of the Halo backstory originated BEFORE Microsoft bought Bungie. In fact, if you remember, Halo [1] didn't really have that huge of a marketing campaign. Hell, I saw more marketing for Jet Set Radio Future than I saw for Halo [1]. I write all this to simply defend the current Bungie. I believe that Bungie is still the brains behind EVERYTHING that they do, and Microsoft doesn't have a say in it one way or the other (as far as game content is concerned). Sure, Microsoft may advertise the game more than I'd prefer, and sure, the Halo novels wouldn't exist if it weren't for Microsoft's will (granted, Bungie still oversaw the entire process, but they were powerless to stop their writing), but I still like Bungie as much as I ever have.

Keep in mind that I am as much a Marathon fan as I am a Halo fan. And just for reference, I'll let you know that I prefer the single player experience of Marathon, but I prefer the multiplayer experience of Halo.

Oh, and just for your information, my favorite Bungie game is Myth 2. Not Marathon, not Halo. Myth 2.
