In fact, we may even see some originality now that they don't have the big company over the shoulder discouraging anything potentially non-money making.

I'm wondering if that wasn't the motivation for MS letting them go their own way. MS owned 100% of Bungie, and apparently sold back 51% to someone (I guess Bungie's prez?)

I can't imagine that the Bungie team could have passed the hat and found enough money to tempt M$ with a buyout, so M$ must figure that they will do better financially with the games that Bungie will produce then with a big risk-adverse bureaucracy making them justify every potential project. (Not to mention that M$ still will get 49% of the profit)

Well Halo 3 is really underwhelming as far as innovation. Although I admit to being one of its current mindless drones for the time being.

Bucky, even though you're much higher in the ranks as me here, i've kinda lost respect for you with the comment on cancer. You could've done without...

I am kinda glad they split! Hopefully a game I like better than Halo!

Hopefully, something OTHER than Halo.
