Published by Microsoft Studios, the "Halo" franchise of games is exclusive to the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system and the Xbox LIVE online entertainment network. To date, more than 50 million copies of "Halo" games have been sold worldwide, driving more than 5 billion hours of gameplay by people connected to Xbox LIVE.”

TrueGamingTv Haven't gotten to try Halo 4 yet, I started playing Reach
Reach's multiplayer isn't even that good. Campaign is great but not multi. Get Haloooo 4.

Nin I am so excited for the next halo game.
But it was bungie that did the work
They built 4 Halo Games. Yes they started the Halo series but 343 has now taken it over and already created 2 and working on a 3rd halo game. I think 343 surpassed Bungie a while ago with Halo 4 coming out and being one of the most epic games. Also don't forget that 343 is made up of a bunch of Bungie members

I hope they don't rush the next one. They need to take their time and listen to the community.
