Should MS give Halo to another developer?

Three years in the making with a massive budget and still no Fileshare, no Theater Mode mode in Campaign, horrible lag and glitches in both Spartan Ops and Multiplayer. Im not hating on 343 or anything. but they arent capable of giving the same TLC that Bungie had once given the Halo franchise.

you can google the list of bugs/glitches that Bungie had for Halo 1, Halo 2 and Halo 3 on release. It’s really easy to forget. Your bandwagon ride ended 2 years ago.

It’s easy to forget because the other stuff was decent.

No they shouldn’t. But I’ve always felt Microsoft should do an Anthology with different developers all taking their own unique shot at a level in a new Halo game and releasing it like a best of compilation.

It’s very difficult to make a call like that without knowing exactly what is going on behind the scenes.

343 might be under more pressure from Microsoft compared to Bungie as it is a wholly-owned subsidiary.

Yes. They should make Halo 4 PC. Then the developers will be the community.

No. They just need to stop being so controlling.

Microsoft created, built, and owns 343 Industries exclusively for the development and continuation of the Halo franchise and universe. And you think that they should “give” Halo to somebody else?

Give the task of developing a new Halo title to a new dev team right before the launch of a new Xbox console. Everything would just go so smooth! The core game of Halo 4 is great just like every other Halo game. Their are problems that will be sorted but nothing that’s going to make me quit playing. Remember button glitches and super jumps? They NEVER got patched. Think about that one for a little while.

So much for free content, eh?

No!

No i still have faith in 343

Oh man that would be disastrous and inconsistent, the latter of which 343i already is.

Actually pretty much every button glitch had been patched. The bxr, sword lunge, butterfly jump, and the like. The only way around it was to get around downloading the patches.

keep it with 343i

Everything I have seen indicates to me that 343i are competent but unlucky.

If the things I’ve heard about Halo 2 Vista are true, then this won’t work.

(Specifically, I’m told that while HCE’s HEK was just locked, H2V’s HEK was completely stripped down, and various other things were locked, greatly limiting H2V’s potential.)

r u reta­rded halo 4 is awesome

Amusing.

Nope, 343 is more than capable.

I honestly have faith in 343’s ability for all the criticism I give them. I think that with all of the projects and moving parts that have gone into making a game of this magnitude, of course there were going to be problems. All I ask from them is that they learn from these mistakes and truly deliver with Halo 5, otherwise I won’t be bothering with Halo 6.
