343i burn through all the good faith people had in them forcing a rebrand even when it is the same exact dumbasses.
The newer studio is actually LESS talented, being mostly composed of pajeets armed with Unreal Engine.
Similar to what happened with Rocksteady, WB Games and Suicide Squad; Executives at Microsoft want to know if they can have a gaming sweatshop in which they use pajeets and Unreal assisted with AI to make games very cheaply.
Executives already raised costs, and their job is for the green line to go up regardless of the consequences but they are killing the industry way faster than they could imagine.
Trump genuinely saved vidya by raising the cost of Hb1 visas, and Halo Studios is the first casualty.
The reason why the game is shipping with no multiplayer is because the actual team is now a skeleton crew and AI is not good enough to finish the entire project, so it will ship as is, so you can expect it to be broken at launch because the industry decided long ago to cut costs in Quality Assurance.
As for why a remake and not a newer game, well because most of the design is already done.
The idea was to create a cheap game, again, to test if it was viable to make cheap mass produced games that could be sold for $80.
It definitively isn't.
Things are going to be alright.
