As Bungie received Xbox development kits, they reworked their engine and Halo transitioned again to a first-person shooter. Halo was later changed to a third-person shooter when Microsoft bought Bungie to make Halo an Xbox exclusive. Take-Two Interactive, which was a share holder in Bungie Studios, sold its 20% share to Microsoft thus shifting development to the Xbox.
