Halo's Former Franchise Creative Director Sees 3 Possible Paths for Activision's Halo

Frank O'Connor, Halo's Franchise Creative Director for nearly 20 years at 343 Industries/Halo Studios, has outlined three possible paths for Halo under Activision. They include a classic Halo movement, sandbox and shooter experience for the core audience, a modern reinvention of the game and universe, or translating the Halo IP and sandbox into Activision's proven player, progression and business models. He also advised against tying the series to hardware or services launch cycles and suggested hiring talent from Bungie, Halo Studios and other laid-off developers.
