Honestly, that is for the best if true, considering how much Slipspace engine overhyped and underdelivered, plus what we've heard about the extreme development difficulties it caused. At least with Unreal we know that studios like Ninja Theory and The Coalition, who are both top tier masters of Unreal development, will be able to help them pull off great things graphically, and development will go alot smoother on Unreal as well, easier to use, easier to hire people since you don't have to train them in using Slipspac. Has automation features that speed development as well, a high quality open source texture library so you don't have to spend a ton of time handcrafting every texture in the game, automatic scene lighting tech, automatic graphics optimization for a given set of specs, etc.
However, really shit if they are going MP only in the near future. Leaving the singleplayer Halo fans hanging, without even a spinoff game (such as a follow-up to ODST focused on the same characters who are now Spartan 4's), is a really bad call by 343/Xbox.
