Who calls the shots? MS or 343?

I’m just curious, that’s all. I know that Halo 4 is going to rule, and I’m all for 343.

I’m just wondering if Microsoft made a dictator’s list of things that 343 has to implement into Halo 4 in order to make it sell. If Microsoft did such a thing, 343 wouldn’t be allowed to tell us. If anything is terribly wrong with the shipped version of Halo 4, will it be Microsoft’s fault or 343’s?

Remember that 343 is made up of Halo fans just like us. Could Halo fans really butcher our favorite game?

Do you think fans are complaining to the wrong people?

Who do think is behind these so called “scary changes”?

If you worked for 343 and MS told you to put a talking pumpkin in the last level of Halo 4, how would you execute it to where fans will enjoy it and not hate it? Could you do it any better?

343 is the creative designing company of Halo 4, all MS is doing is just funding it.

I’m sure 343 has the creative freedom to make the game their way.

I think MS only has control over some dates for the development of the game…

Praise MS

343 is Microsoft, they are a first party developer/publisher.
