Everyone is going crazy over this news, and I don't blame them. I was not expecting this in the least bit. Halo developer Bungie has announced that it just signed a ten-year contract with Activision. This is their first long-term engagement since they split with Microsoft in 2007.
Its important to note that even though Activision is publishing their games, Bungie still owns full rights to their IPs. So while Activision is still pretty dirty, its highly doubted Bungie will have its own fiasco like Infinity Ward. Activision has money and they will market their game like crazy, so it doesn't seem like too bad of a business move as long as they make sure to keep all the rights.
In some other related news, Sony is all excited because since Bungie won't be making exclusive games for Microsoft anymore, they are under the impression that Bungie will give them games like a "Halo on steroids", lol that's cute. I'm pretty sure Bungie said they were going to make multi-platform games, which means your system will still get the shaft like always Sony.
