If this is their next big Halo title, I hope someone from 343, at some point in time, can explain why it has a 2 year development cycle, unless they were working on this game in the middle of Halo 4 (which sounds hard to believe!).

I'm just worried that the potential quality will suffer. Halo titles have always been very high quality games, and I'll personally be really put off if concepts, content, and game technologies suffer so they can make money quicker.
