Microsoft may have been responsible for Halo MCC and Halo 5's mess.

As I've said, this is a big MAY case. This is just about all we know in terms of whats going on in 343, and unfortunentely this is the best we have right now. But even if that isn't true, there is plenty that does make sense, such as Halo MCC being rushed.

But anyone can tell you that MCC was rushed to release. It was an ambitious project. Its been patched and the situations rectified. This happens with every major company, not even in just gaming. The whole MCC debacle ended very long ago and Halo 5 was released to great reviews.

Really? Because as far as I know, it was the lowest rated mainline Halo. 84 isn't awful, but considering many were expecting numbers in the high 80s or 90s, clearly it didn't do as well as expected. Halo 5 was slammed at release for its confusing story and lack of content, and that was true. 343 has since done great in adding lots of that content, but lots of problems remain. How exactly did Halo 5 turn into this jumbled mess from Halo 4? This video may just be some guy trying to gain attention, but clearly development did have problems, and clearly the story had lots of changes and rewrites before release (remember hunt the truth?). I'm not saying Halo MCC or 5 is a bad game, but what I'm trying to do is defend 343 from a lot of the critism its received.
