Uh... no. Bungie always intended to hand Reach over to Microsoft; it was to be their last hurrah in the Halo franchise. Their intention was to shift all focus to the development of Destiny after Reach launched. They said in the Destiny ViDoc, "Pathways Out of the Darkness", that they were committing the entire company to Destiny; that meant handing support for Halo:Reach over to Microsoft and 343i.

Lol they sold it off because the sell numbers had been going down. Microsoft gave them a luxury offer they took it. Why the halo 1,2,3 bundle has a lot of hype. It's the best made multiplayer games in the series. Halo 2/3 were the top tier multiplayer games for its time. Went down hill after because to much change. Perks/abilities. It didn't work out cod took over

Oh brother... Get your facts straight; Microsoft owned the rights to Halo BEFORE Bungie made Halo:Reach. Microsoft didn't buy Reach from them; they practically already owned it. All Bungie did was give them the keys, so to speak. Sorry kid, but you're wrong.
