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.

Of course. I know what you mean and it's most probably correct because MS is primarily a software company and they'd obviously choose people who know their shit. But I'm just saying that getting devs from Naughty Dog, Gearbox and saying that's amazing stuff really isn't much of a big deal. If it was such a deal, then I think you'd see a lot of publishers and devs brag about who they just recruited. For example imagine Sony bragging that Media Molecule just hired 3 devs from Rockstar or Valve braggin that they've just recruited 4 devs from Blizzard. Chances are that they're coming from big companies that are known to make big hit games are good devs but just because they're from a big company with a big name doesn't automatically mean they're always amazing and talented.
