Yeah, they're a pretty big studio, over 350 people now I believe. I wish that MS would split them into 2 teams, then go on a hiring spree to make both teams bigger, and put the 2nd team to work on a new IP.

I also wish that 343 would drop their prorietary engine and switch to Unreal 4. Gears 4 totally showed up Halo 5 today, full 1080p whereas Halo was variable framerate with drops close to 720p, 2 player splitscreen whereas Halo 5 had no splitscreen,  and on top of all that the graphics themselves are quite a bit better in Gears 4.

Gears 4 is 60 fps for multiplayer as well, and full 1080p for MP whereas Halo 5 wasn't. As for your 60 fps argument, Halo 5 was behind Black Ops 3 and SW Battlefront in graphics this past year on XB1, both of which were 60 fps and had a higher MP resolution than Halo 5 (900p whereas Halo 5 dynamic resolution had drops close to 720p). Let's face it, after Corrine Yu left 343 for Naughty Dog their engine team just wasn't the same. I don't think they're capable of delivering a great looking game using their proprietary engine anymore, Corrine Yu was the main reason that Halo 4 was the single best looking 7th gen game, without her Halo 5 wasn't even top 15 best looking for 8th gen and we're only 2 years into the generation....

The smartest thing MS can do at this point is move all of their studios behind a single engine like EA and Rockstar have done in the past with Frostbite and RAGE. It's easier and cheaper to maintain and upgrade a single engine instead of multiple engines. I think Unreal 4 should be that single engine for Microsoft Studios, 5 of their games are already using it (Gears 4, Crackdown 3, Scalebound, Sea of Thieves, and Fable Legends pre cancellation). The only studios that shouldn't be unified behind Unreal 4 imo are Turn 10 and Playground, the engine Turn 10 has developed for Forza is pretty good and Unreal isn't as well suited to racing games. 

Both games dont have the sandbox that Halo 5 SP have and that take resources. I disagree that Black Ops 3 looks better than Halo 5 SP. With Halo 5 you also get perfect 60 fps . Call of Duty is 60 fps pr.  And we have seen nothing from Gears 4 MP. All coverage was 30 fps SP.  

And are you serious about Corrine ? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha. One fucking person dont make a whole engine. 343 Industries still have the same developers that have made the Halo 4 engine. The main reason why Halo 4 was single best looking game was 30 fps SP and 6 + years experience with the hardware.

Stop. You are wrong.
