Bungie: We Screwed Up Halo 2

On January 23rd, 2007 in Uncategorized -

Bungie.jpgChris Butcher of Bungie Studios, in an interview with Edge Magazine, stated that Bungie made many mistakes with Halo 2. It is the first time anyone from Bungie came out and admitted that they felt the game wasn’t what it should have been. We all know that Halo 2 didn’t have the best story, nor the best ending, to say the least. A quote from Butcher:

“We miscalculated, we screwed up, we came down to the wire and we just lost all of that. So Halo 2 is far less than it could and should be in many ways because of that. It kills me to think of it. Even the multiplayer experience for Halo 2 is a pale shadow of what it could and should have been if we had gotten the timing of our schedule right. It’s astounding to me. I f*cking cannot play Halo 2 multiplayer. I cannot do it. And that’s why I know Halo 3 is going to be so much better.”

Hopefully, for gamers everywhere, he is right when he says Halo 3 will be so much better. According to an ex-Bungie developer, Halo 3‘s Xbox Live features are “years ahead of everything that’s out there”. We’ll see.
