Former Halo creative director urges Activision to hire laid-off Bungie and Halo Studios devs

Frank O'Connor, who worked on Halo for nearly 20 years, outlined three possible directions for the franchise and urged Activision to hire laid-off staff from Bungie and Halo Studios. Xbox recently moved Halo under Activision's control, with Halo Studios to be downsized to a small support team.

• O'Connor listed three options: a classic Halo, a bold reinvention, or an annual content model
• He urged Activision not to tie the game to hardware launch cycles or abandon the sandbox
• Halo Studios will be downsized to a small team supporting existing games
• Sony earlier confirmed significant layoffs at Bungie affecting Destiny and Marathon teams
