I suppose it was bound to happen eventually but imagining a Halo game without Bungie is like imagining a reese's cup without peanut butter in the middle. They are already working on a new franchise and I'm interested to see what they come up with. Hopefully they'll keep supporting Halo 3, ODST and Reach(thru online stats) for many years to come after they grace us with their Halo swan song Halo Reach next year.
