The latest report on Activision's Halo team from Rebs Gaming:

  • His source says Activision pitched 2 Halo games to Xbox before the announcement that Halo was moving to Activision was ever made, one multiplayer, one singleplayer. Sledgehammer Games made a gameplay prototype for both the singleplayer and the multiplayer on the Infinity Ward engine as part of Activision's pitch to Xbox. The use of IW on the game is still under consideration though
  • The original plan for the singleplayer game was a soft reboot that didn't decanonize anything 343 did, but would ignore the setup of Halo Infinite for The Endless as the enemy in favor of something else (kind of like Halo Infinite just skipped over most of the war between the UNSC and Cortana's AI army that Halo 5 setup)
  • His source says Activision has dropped plans for separate singleplayer and multiplayer games and is now planning a full-featured game, which The Hollywood Reporter also reported from their sources
  • His source says nothing has been decided yet on the campaign, both partial reboots and full reboots are still under consideration, the current idea for a full reboot is a Master Chief origin story (presumably following the creation of the Spartan program and presumably the war against the Insurrectionists the Spartans were originally made for)
  • An anonymous former Halo dev has told him that they hope Activision learns from their mistakes at 343/Halo Studios, that they should show people important bits of the story in game instead of hiding them away in the expanded universe projects and confusing players, listen to fan feedback instead of ignoring and thinking "we know better than the fans", and uproot indecision, incompetence, and corruption quickly
