I want a major Halo every three years and a spin off every 2 years.

Halo 4 in 2013, Halo Wars 2 in 2012. Halo 4 DLC in 2014 and Halo 5 in 2016.

Funny, I just googled who works at 343 industries now. The talent they hired is amazing. Guys from

• Bungie
• Naughty Dog
• iD
• Pandorra
• Gearbox
• Kojima Productions

And that is just what we know. I am really excited for the next big Halo. The team seems to be the best you can find in this industry.

Dude one Producer from Kojima Productions isn't some major talent being added. He's not Kojima.

And just like another member said, they could've easily have hired some pretty average programmer from iD Software or from Naughty Dog. Sure a lot of Bungie devs are at 343 and not saying 343 doesn't have the team or talent, just saying don't overreact to who hired who. It's not a big deal. Just because a dev for example Crytek gets this author who writes Sci Fi novels to write the story for Crysis 2 doesn't mean it's going to be good automatically or amazing rightaway.

While I do agree they could be picking up some no-bodies / mediocre programmers.  But with as many people as they have hired, odds are a lot of them are pretty good.  Simple fact of the matter is this, Microsoft is a software company and I am certain they aren't just going to hire no-bodies or weak programmers all the time just to save a buck.  So in general they probably have been recruiting some of the better "players" in the business.  

Microsoft didn't get where they are at with hiring only lower rung programmers.
