Bungie Waves Goodbye To Halo

Bungie.net no longer handles player data for Halo titles. March 31 marked the end of an era for the studio.

"We have followed your careers with great interest here on Bungie.net, and you have gifted us a mountain of heroic moments to memorialize," Bungie said. "It is with a sense of awe that we step back and admire the impact that you have had on our games, and upon our studio.

"Thanks for sharing your stories with us."

Bungie released a massive infographic that compiled stats over the years. Click the image below to see the full-sized version.

  • bye bye oh...and First!!
  • I hope this will continue to make amazing Xbox exclusives.
  • halo wont be the same
  • Well if anyone still cared about this franchise they probably dont anymore, goodbye bungie.
  • I cant wait too see what Bungie makes next!!
  • I thought they did that 2 years ago...
  • Although I love what 343 is doing with halo, this is kind of bittersweet. Bungie has been great to its fans, I'll surely miss the weekly halo updates.
  • At least 1 billion of those Halo 2 games were played by me. Only game I played more of was World of Warcraft, which is designed to waste time.

  • i didn't like reach, and i felt like after halo 3 bungie began making bad choices, but i'd be lying if i said i was glad to see them go. halo 1-3 gave me my best memories in gaming, and h3 was the game where i met all of my closest xbox live friends. hope you continue to prosper bungie, and i hope 343 can make halo feel like halo again. ;)
  • I would say I can't imagine how many hours I spent playing Halo but it's right on my profile. Oh, Halo won't be the same without Bungie.
  • Good bye Bungie. I'm actually happy they are leaving IMO the series has been going downhill since Halo 3. I think a new company working on Halo is the best thing that could happen to it.
  • I really hope whatever their working on is unveiled at this E3. Being one of the most innovative developers in the business with the unlimited budget of Activision behind them, I have no doubt they will do nothing but impress with the Destiny Project, whatever it really is.

  • Idk this mIght be a wrong turn but u never knows

  • I remember weekends when I was in high school. About twenty of us would crash at my place with a bunch of Xboxes and televisions. And alcohol.

    Halo shots. When you die, take a shot. Funny thing about this game was after a while a couple of us would just start taking shots for the hell of it. We needed friends with better skills.

    Or maybe we just needed better friends.

  • A sad day indeed. Hopefully 343 can honor the franchise's legacy.
  • I hope 343 caN continue in a big way. Looking forward to it. @bungie. My most favorite maps are from halo 3. Rats nest, Valhalla, and the desert one. With the elephant.
  • I loved Bungie. Halo was the FPS I played the most, even more than CoD
  • This made me incredibly sad, thinking about all the time I've played Halo... I remember being 8 and getting Halo as the first game for my Xbox. I've gotten every game on opening day since that day, yes, including Halo Wars. Man... I think I'm going to go play Halo 3 and cry a little bit.
