Halo is old?

Actually, all the games I listed there are older than Halo. And all made by Bungie :)

As for Bungie... they aren't a *company* at all, they're a subgroup of Microsoft's game division-- hence the change from Bungie Software, Inc. when they were independent (and small) to Bungie Studios.

However, as a matter of Bungie history, one might make the observation that things started to go a bit south when they expanded into Bungie West and began their first real attempt at having two separate teams working on separate games at different locations (Oni).

However, regardless they've usually had one team working on one game in the near term while another works on something else. Work on Halo began around the time Myth 2 was being done, and most assumed that work on Phoenix began while Halo was being done.

One might have assumed from this that Phoenix would have been released between Halo 1 and 2; now I'd say it looks doubtful that anything done by the Phoenix team will see light of day before 2004. But I could be wrong.
