For people unaware, 343I was formed back in 2007, and until post Reach Launch, 343 handled the other aspects of Halo. Books, Toys, even shit like Halo Legends. They would take over to make Reach's Title Update, and the second and third map pack for Reach

@LtCameron88 It legit says 343 on the DVD cover too lmao

@YangyYoung It takes like, 3 seconds to find this

@LtCameron88 Kinda, not really. At that time Bungie still had complete creative control of the franchise. 343 was forming in that time, but didnt really become a studio until they assumed control in 2012. They were basically just a middle man at that point between Microsoft and Bungie

@2LAME2LIFT Yeah, who handled merch, books, and media like this. From 2007 till post Reach launch, 343 did this

@LtCameron88 wait, seriously? I thought this came out before 343 took over?

@JoeBlue34 It did 343I was made back in 2007 to focus on these things, like books and movies, until Bungie's contract was up

@LtCameron88 this post disrespects the anime influence of halo so much it makes my eyes bleed

@banishedfished

@LtCameron88 Nono, there was still a bit of a weeb vibe. The thrusters on the back of the ships were inspired by Mobile Suit Gundam, according to the halo encyclopaedia.

@EVNillustrated This isn't saying Halo didn't have inspirations by anime, as it does. Just let's not use a Halo Legends piece as "Bungie charm"

@LtCameron88 There's also Evangelion references in Halo 4 and Infinite, which idk about you but Big Robots fighting Anime seems pretty weeb to me 🤷‍♀️

@LtCameron88 People forget 343 was responsible for EVERYTHING post reach launch, not just the games. Halo Reach DLC. Legends. CE anniversary. Halo Waypoint (even the one on 360). And that 343, at least what I've heard, did include more than a handful of people who worked on the og games

@LtCameron88 A sencond volume would be pretty cool specially how much animation has improved over the years

@LtCameron88 YO? THATS SICK BRO I fucking love halo legends 14/10 movie
