They're still independent so they'll be making their own decisions hopefully. They won't be pulled into any of the madness that IW was, and I doubt Activision wants that kind of bad PR to happen again.

FUCK

are they out of their goddamn minds

Activision can't fire anyone at Bungie. And I'm pretty sure Bungie keeps ownership of the new IP. They signed a good contract, whereas IW signed a bad one.

Problem is, it's activision. I have a terrible, terrible feeling that Bungie's about to get raped. Unlike Infinity Ward, they seem to have remembered the lube, but I don't see it making a great difference.

If it gets halo to PC again then I'm all for it.

Nah, this is for Bungie's next IP.

Unless Microsoft decides it needs to compete or something, I doubt we'll see H3 on PC ever.

Who said anything about Halo?

As long as there next game comes to PC WITH a editing kit, I don't care who they partner with.

.

So, this deal is only applicable to the new IP. Theoretically, they can do other projects for other publishers, though not any time soon.

I really don't see what can go wrong. The only thing Activision can do is sue Bungie. They can't directly intervene. No internal investigations or security thugs camped outside the studio. No whoring out the IP to Treyarch. Seems like everything is kosher. If IW had it this good, they'd still be happily under Activision's umbrella.
