"They were reticent to hire Bungie people": Halo community reacts to developer claiming 343 Industries' bias at hiring
The Halo series hasn't been at a great place in recent times, with Infinite not doing as well as expected. Much dissatisfaction among fans has been over how 343 Industries has executed the project so far.
Several members have complained that the development being done by the current developers is weaker than the games put out by Bungie.
A fresh set of news has emerged from a developer who has stated that following the split, there was a tendency of 343 Industries to perhaps not acquire anyone from Bungie. It has also been revealed that following Halo Combat Evolved, Bungie no longer wanted to continue with the franchise.
Halo is one of the most decorated gaming series, with several titles under its wings. Bungie gave birth to the series, also known for games like Destiny 2.
Since then, there has been a change in leadership, with Microsoft handing over the task to 343 Industries. While the work done by the current developers has been decent, a lot more could have been done according to the community.
The fresh set of news comes on the back of a Twitter interaction posted in the Halo subreddit. The screengrab showed a person asking about what had happened to developer Paul Russel when he tried to apply at 343 Industries. Russel responded that he had found 343 Industries to be a bit reticent about hiring somebody from Bungie.
He also added that his presentation wasn't the best and that 343 Industries may have wanted to go for fresh minds. This happened after Bungie decided not to continue with making new Halo games after Combat Evolved. This news led to several members of the community expressing their opinions.
Based on Russel's response, one fan expressed that it appeared that nobody wanted to do a Halo game anymore.
