    I have sent video proof to twitter.com/Surasia_ to verify the legitimacy of this video. The evidence reads the following,
    "Dont let anyone tell you different, Joe was fired"
    They edited his contract and paid him out as things just weren't working out with Joe and Paul Bertone at the studio.
    I cannot stress this enough, my source was NOT the Hailey account on twitter.

      Upper management being compartmentalized from all the people at 343 who are clearly working very hard would explain a lot actually. Look at all the hostile takeovers of IP's we have seen by globalist ideologues ideologues and woketivists. I would be shocked if Halo emerged from that battleground unscathed.

    This is blatantly not true.

    Staten was brought in under contract by MICROSOFT.
    If Staten wanted to stay and make Halo, MICROSOFT should've renewed his contract. They didn’t. MICROSOFT let go of Staten.
    Seriously, we've known this for well over a year.
    The person who said this is the same person who said 343 screwed over Marty, this is also blatantly not true since Marty never worked with 343. He left with bungie when they left to make Destiny, and then bungie fired him. Everything bad that happened to Marty is because of bungie and Microsoft, 343 had nothing to do with it.

    I think it's also important to state that the current leadership of 343i is not the same as the ones who made such poor decisions like having a "no Bungie hires" policy and firing Joe Staten. It could be that all those horrible management decisions left when Bonnie, Frankie, and Kiki all were removed from the studio.
    I'm not saying the current management is absolved of poor decisions, but I just want to put into perspective that the old guard is not there anymore and likely the new management is trying to turn a cruise ship on a dime but have to undo so many detrimental mistakes from the past management.

    • @oss182

      If 343's current leadership fumble the release of the next Halo in anyway, the IP will be truly dead.
      Infinite in regards to gameplay and presentation felt like a return to form while innovating on the core gameplay, and for the first weeks people were genuinely happy and optimistic for the franchise, but the content drought, lack of sandbox updates, and the fact that we still couldn't get split screen, firefight and forge on release killed player's interest and hope for the game, especially when we compare it to previous releases like Halo Reach 14 years ago, which was able to launch as a complete game.
      Not to mention locking customization behind one of the worst in-game shops out there.

I truly wish Microsoft would finally wake up and let another dev try to make a Halo game, even if it's not a main line one. 343 has such a bad track record and it's wild to think that they've never actually stuck the landing with a single one of their releases.

    I have literally been saying for the last number of years is that the community is going to have to make a choice in the fork of the road with this IP because Microsoft and 343 controls the IP and how its made, sure they can listen to us, but what it comes down to is that they do not want anything to do with the Bungie Era of Halo at all (even Bungie Development cycles was a nightmare, remember Halo 2?). So I guess if people just keep buying the games plus the microtransactions, they will keep making Halo, but its going to be in the style of how the vast FPS community wants the game to be.
