Reminder that 343 is the only AAA studio that has never made a good game.
I don't have much faith in MS managing ActBlizz, and that's coming from someone who generally likes Microsoft stuff. From what they did to Ensemble, Bungie, Lionhead, and Rare (where is my Viva Pinata 2, Phil?), they are way too content to just buy their way into stuff and stumble through everything by tossing money everywhere. I don't think Phil Spencer is the right person to lead Xbox even if he is a "gamer", because Xbox had just been ran poorly for years on the studio side, and adding Activision Blizzard isn't going to improve things.
Halo 4 was dope as hell
It wasn't great for a halo game though.
I thought it was better than 3, personally.
