Ever since the launch and success of Halo Bungie have been sitting on a gold mine. They made such a fantastic game they have been since living on the success of the original title. Each title after it has been a shadow of the original game and since the first game Bungie hasn't made anything non Halo. So the question is can Bungie make anything other than Halo? Probably.. So the real question is WILL Bungie make anything other than Halo? Probably not.. Why?? Here's why.
The success of Halo has made Bungie a lot of money and give them security and with company's going bust left right and centre these days or being bought up by EA they don't want to take a chance on releasing a non Halo game. If a non Halo game was to fail without the backing Bungie once had from Microsoft they could fall back into trouble and end up being scooped up by another company or be taken back in by Microsoft. So obviously this leads me to believe the reason Bungie hasn't released a non Halo game is they don't have faith in their skills. They know fine well they are living off the Halo name and not just the quality of the games themselves are why they are selling so well.
