Is 343 Killing Halo?

343 industries (343i) was established in 2009 and tasked with the job of overseeing the development of the Halo franchise (created by Bungie). The studio is filled with former employees of Bungie as well as prominent figures from the Halo community. 343i has worked on projects like the remastering of Halo : CE and map packs for Halo : Reach. The only title that 343i has made originally was Halo 4 with the exception of Halo : Spartan Assault, which is a mobile game. 343’s two biggest launches, Halo 4 and Halo : The Master Chief Collection have had major problems both from a developmental and execution aspect. Even though they have had some rough patches in their five year stint as the creators of Halo, The Final Line feels they are still learning, but their window is closing to bring Halo back to what it once was. With fans asking “is 343 killing Halo?”, this article will examine some of 343’s shortcomings.
