Microsoft simply has good ties with independant developers like Epic, Crytek, Remedy etc. No jabs at their first party either. They simply have them busy doing other things. Microsoft is actually easy to work with from what I hear so your hidden point seems moot.

They do have good ties, but I'm not sure the likes of Epic, Crytek and Remedy really want to work on a remake. MS would have to pay a lot more than what it's worth. I'm sure even smaller devs wouldn't all want to work on a remake.

True with most titles but most developers would likely be honored to work on a Halo game whether its a remake or not. Gearbox was excited to get the opportunity to do the PC version of Halo. Besides they are doing a total overhaul of the game . Using a new engine, updating the game with recent Halo features, totally redoing all the game art etc.
