: Way I see it: Bungie made the games. MS ran the "Expanded
: Universe."
: Bungie's regard for the EU was no more or less than the regard Lucas shows
: for the Star Wars EU (no contempt, but no real commitment to it, either -
: it's not theirs, it's someone else's). We already know that Bungie (if
: stories are to be believed) was under contract for another Halo game but
: not allowed to go forward in the timeline after H3. The only option was a
: game set before it.
: It's hard for me to be outraged that the company responsible for creating the
: game IP doesn't feel committed to the EU created by another company (even
: if they were once a division of that company).
Totally 100% agreed. And I really like Reach, too. My post was more referring to future installments, or about games in general. Specifically talking about Reach, though, I loved the ending of the game (and even wondered if Bungie would have us defend PoA at the end months before Reach came out), and while I loved the novel, I don't really have problems with a lot of the changes made. That doesn't mean that the story isn't jacked up in a lot of places. Reach's story still works, but you have to look at it from a different perspective (which is weak, and maybe I'll get around to that write-up I've been talking about :P).
: One thing we can assume going forward is that with the same company managing
: everything, there should be complete consistency - because if you have a
: George Lucas / ExpUniverse situation when 343 is handling everything,
: that's unacceptable.
Yep. 343 has the keys to the canon now. All I really care about at the moment is when a Shield World opens back up and lets our friends out and what happened to Master Chief. I'd also like to know what Arbiter does after he goes home. Do Elites come back and take vacations on Earth because Hawaii is just that awesome? You know you want to see a tale of Arbiter hanging out on a beach sipping at some frosty beverage (don't ask me how with that face of his) looking back on all the fun times he had killing Tartarus and Truth and untold millions of humans. :P
