Infinity ward – glitchiest games ever
Insomniac – Resistance, are you kidding me, friggin terrible game
Epic games – only one character design in all their games
Crytek – have the tech but would they do Halo justice?
And to top it all off, this article is irrelevant anyway seen as 343 Industries are now at the helm of all things Halo. Whoever wrote this article needs to do some research, play some proper games and try not to piss off the Halo community

Microsofts official bio of 343 Industries:

“343 Industries is the publisher of the blockbuster “Halo” series of videogames and, as part of Microsoft Game Studios, oversees the “Halo” franchise, including novels, comics, licensed collectibles, apparel and more. 343 Industries is home to world-class developers working on future “Halo” projects, including “Halo Legends” and Halo Waypoint, as well as partnering with renowned developers such as Bungie LLC and Robot Entertainment to produce “Halo” games for Xbox 360 and Xbox LIVE.”

like it or not, they are making all future Halo games.

@above all: 343 Industries is a japanesse movie studio (they also did the matrix anime) paid by microsoft to produce anime content for Halo Waypoint. They are in no way a game making studio all Halo games are made by Bungie (with the exception of halo wars). 343 is just there to handle the franchise – marketing and such.

Seriously the GAYLO crap again. I mean no disrespect to Halo fans, but I disagree with everything hardcore Halo fans say. It’s repitive gameplay. a good overall story but I heard better. Halo needs to die, also Reach doesn’t have the best looking graphics unlike Vanquish developed by Platinum games. the graphics will blow even CRYSIS 2 graphics.

^ hilarious.

Anyway Infinity Ward wouldn’t do it as they are trying to make different stuff now (good since MW2 was a hyped and broken failure). As for Gearbox, Insomniac and Epic, they have way too much originality and good franchises under their belt (Borderlands, R&C, Gears of War) to be messing with outplayed franchises like Halo. Its the Madden of Shooters. Plus Halo 3 is still being played so fanboys should shut up and let these dudes make new IPs.

This would not be a bad wishlist if you stated that you knew 343 Industries was taking over the IP completely. From games to movies, comics to action figures, and anything Halo from this point on. But obviously you were not aware of this very well know fact, for some time now, and decided to create this list to fill something that was already decided.

In an alternate universe where 343 Industries may have not been formed, then I may go with Crytek or maybe Gearbox. But the rest of your choices are a joke…as far as Halo goes. They would destroy what the game is about and exploit it.
