Default Bungie handing over Halo community services to 343 in March

Quote:
As of March 31, 2012, Bungie will no longer host any Halo services on Bungie.net. Current Halo data will be transferred to 343 and, at that time, "all live Halo data will be managed by 343 Industries, and Bungie will no longer be able to update game stats and player service records, to host new user generated content, or to operate the Bungie Pro service." Using a peculiar bit of language, Bungie notes that "any replacement functionality" will be hosted by Halo Waypoint on halo.xbox.com.Notice that Bungie doesn't mention whether or not such functionality will be replaced, though it seems unlikely that Microsoft would allow Halo's community features to disappear. They are, after all, a hallmark of the franchise. Because really, what's the point of playing Halo if you can't show off how awesome you are (or, as the image above illustrates, how funny it looks as your Spartan's limp corpse sails through the air).

I doubt the sight will disappear, it just wont host any Halo content and will host content for the project(s) Bungie are currently working on.

The site will stay there for all to keep updated on Bungie's whereabouts.

I can't believe Bungie is turning over Halo though.
Bungie has such high quality standards and they have consistently produced great games. The same cannot be said for some other major developers anymore. I just hope 343 can keep up with Bungie's quality and continue to release great games too.

They will, 343 has been fixing a lot of things in reach and is listening to the community fairly well the way I see it as long as the BR coming back which it will and they take armor abilities out the game will be amazing

I highly disagree with you. For all those who don't know, 343's members are made up of old Bungee employees. It is a studio created & run by microsoft. I highly doubt that they can mess up a game, especially by the books.
