Well, Coalition is unproven - although I like what I saw in the Gears beta. I wouldn't trust 343 with the property, if I'm being honest. I feel like they've mismanaged Halo. Avalanche? Maybe, although Just Cause 3 was underwhelming.

343i gave us the freshest Halo in years, I would say since Halo 3. They're competent enough to give us the best campaign narrative in the series with Halo 4 and the best mp with Halo 5. They just gotta find the balance like everyone out there. Additiwonally, 343i has been expanding the Halo universe more than ever before, nurturing the property. They caught flak undeservingly because they attempted something new and Halo fans on forums are the worst to simply put it.
Anyway, I would trust Rod Fergusson more than any other studio to handle a 3rd person shooter. He's The creative director andexecutive prodeucer of the 3rd person shooter franchise with the best gameplay mechanic.

Fergusson is a stud, no doubt. I definitely trust him to deliver.
But I have to disagree about 343. That studio has been a poor caretaker of the Halo franchise. Halo 4 was a poor showing. The single player campaign had amazing graphics, but sub-par AI and level design. And the story was a melodramatic mess. Then there was multiplayer, which borrowed all the worst aspects of modern military shooters.
Halo 5 definitely improved on the multiplayer front. 343 deserves credit for Warzone, it's best contribution to the franchise - although I dislike the req system. But the single player campaign was probably the worst of the series. 343 fundamentally reorganized the way Halo plays, and not for the better.
