why don't they close down 343 next? they haven't launched a good game in over a decade by now. that should have been high on the list of closures.

To be honest, as a huge Halo fan, I was surprised when seeing those studios closed that 343 wasn't one of them. The studio is just cursed, even a leadership change isn't going to save them.

Either make Halo games from all the studios under Microsoft or start a new one with people who are actual fans of the franchise

There's so much potential for a Halo game that isn't just a shooter.

I think a survival horror game based around the Flood would be amazing- something Dead Space-y but Halo. That would be incredibly difficult to make, and it's never going to happen, but it would be cool.

Or a Mass Effect scale RPG

Hell even a Bethesda scale RPG, set it in a city during the Human covenant war where you have to move around using utility areas kinda similar to the subways in Fallout 3. Just dont give it to Bethesda, I dont trust them not to fuck it up after Starfield.

Actual Bethesda or Bethesda adjacent? Because Fallout 3 and 4 use warped map scaling while NV uses actual scale

Eithers fine IMO, maybe a bit more vertical. Im just saying around that size give or take.
