The Halo Bungie Website

If you were to think of a popular name in the gaming industry, who would you think of? Does Bungie Studio’s come to mind? Maybe the word Halo might be a better word. The developer’s of Halo by Bungie was originally founded in 1991 by two undergraduate students. When they first started they went by the name ‘Bungie Software Products Corporation’ and primarily released games for Macintosh. However in 2000 they teamed up with Microsoft to produce a killer first-person shooter that went by the name of Halo. Although before the highly successful Halo trilogy came onto the market, they also produce such games as the Myth series, Marathon and Oni.

When Xbox first teamed with Microsoft they came out with the highly anticipated game called Halo: Combat Evolved. Due to the success of the game, which sold 6.5 million copies during its release, it quickly became the flagship franchise for Xbox. 2004 came and so did Halo 2. During the first day of release for Halo 2, $125 million copies we’re sold, surpassing what Halo: Combat Evolved had achieved. Another 3 years later in 2007 came the extremely anticipated third and final installment of the Halo trilogy, Halo 3. Within the first day of release, Halo 3 sold $170 million worth of copies, thus surpassing what Halo: Combat Evolved and Halo 2 had achieved.
