They let Bungie go independent because Bungie was tired of making Halo. If they had stayed with MS, they'd be relegated to churning out Halo titles for eternity.
343 started off with top talent. They had Corrine Yu as their lead programmer. But it's almost like the studios directors got a blank check to fuck around, thinking anything with the halo branding would sell like crazy.
I don't think they're outsourcing Halo to save money. They'll likely outsource it to more experienced studios with better track records of achieving good results, because 343 is a lost cause. I wonder if their acquisition of Activision was in order to get some studios that could handle the Halo IP? Like Infinity Ward and Treyarch.
