Has Bungie really left Microsoft?

Nobody's talking yet, but a new rash of reports are beginning to make it seem like the breakup of Bungie and Microsoft may be more than just a silly Internet rumor. Such a relevation would come as a huge shock not only to Xbox 360 fans, but the industry at large as well. Together, the two companies have created one of the largest game franchises in history, and just came off the biggest entertainment launch ever with Halo 3.
Rumors began to circulate Monday afternoon after blogger Jacob Metcalf posted to the Digital Joystick blog saying the two companies had parted ways over disagreements surrounding the Halo franchise. Apparently, Bungie wanted to move on and Microsoft wasn't quite letting them, according to Metcalf.
