Bungie was founded in May 1991 by Alex Seropian, and Jason Jones in as a development house for the Macintosh. Their first game, Gnop!, was a freeware Pong clone for the Mac, although you could pay $15.00 for the source code. Bungie went on to release Operation Desert Storm, and Minotaur: The Labyrinths of Crete. These were followed by the Marathon series ( First-Person space shooters) and the Myth series ( Real-Time Fantasy Tactics). The team started working on their next project, Halo: Combat Evolved, which was originally a Sci-fi Real Time Strategy game. During its development, it was changed to a third person shooter and was scheduled to be released for the Mac and PC. Bungie’s plans had changed though as they were acquired by Microsoft in 2000, and Halo would become an exclusive game for their first entry to the console market, the Xbox. The game changed once again to a first person shooter, and was a launch title 
for the Xbox. The game broke many sales records, and was critically acclaimed as one of the best games of all time. And was later ported to the PC and Mac. Following Halo: Combat Evolve's success, Bungie went to work on Halo 2, concentrating on multiplayer and Xbox Live functionality. The game was released on November of 2004, breaking many sales records that the original had held. It was praised for its multiplayer, and was the most played Xbox live game for many years. There were criticisms about the short single player and cliff hanger ending, causing mixed opinions about whether it was better than the original or not. Bungie’s next title was the highly anticipated Halo 3 that was to be released on the Xbox 360. Once again, Bungie received critical acclaim and record breaking sales, making Halo 3 the best selling game of 2007 with 8.1 Million units sold. Bungie is currently working on their next projects, Halo 3: ODST, and Halo: Reach.
At E3 2009, Bungie also announced Halo: Reach, a prequel to Halo: Combat Evolved. Little is known about Reach so far, but it is speculated to be a squad based game relying heavily on class. It is rumored to work with Project Natal. The multiplayer beta will be packaged in with Halo 3: ODST.
Also, Bungie, since PAX 2008, have been talking about a 3rd project not set in the Halo Universe. As of 2009, it has been confirmed that Halo: Reach is Bungie's last planned Halo game and that they were shopping around for a publisher for their New IP.
Bungie is an independent video game development company and the creators of the Marathon, Myth, and Halo series.
