Nick CalandraHOST
Yeah, yeah, true.
Nick CalandraHOST
Uh, and so like thinking about Halo in that regard of like you're putting Halo under a publisher that has, what, like seven, eight studios all working on Call of Duty? Toys for Bob, Raven, Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer.
Nick CalandraHOST
All of these studios have massive amounts of FPS experience under them.
Nick CalandraHOST
They can pull from that.
DomHOST
The only reason why we have a COD game every year is that there's four studios doing it.
DomHOST
You have Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer, and I think Raven does Warzone, so, and like COD Mobile.
DomHOST
So you have four studios that are cranking, cranking, cranking CODs, because it's Madden, but with guns.
DomHOST
Halo's not like that, and that's not what they're doing.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
Now, there's been so many rumors about if Halo were to go to Activision, how it would be handled.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
Some people say, oh, maybe they give Sledgehammer the Halo IP and let them make one.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
I don't know.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
Listen.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
The bulk of Halo is made between Infinity Ward, which has multiple studios, Treyarch, Sledgehammer, Beenox, Highmoon, Raven.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
These are the majority developers.
Jesse DeRosaHOST
Tons of teams work on Call of Duty, but these are the majority developers of Halo.
NickHOST
Then Activision.
NickHOST
You have Treyarch, Infinity Ward, Sledgehammer.
NickHOST
You have other studios like High Moon, Beenox, Raven, Demonware, Shanghai, Digital Legends.
NickHOST
Rare and World's Edge are now under them as well.
Josh ThompsonHOST
So we'll get a Call of Duty from Infinity Ward one year.
Josh ThompsonHOST
We'll get a weird Call of Duty from Sledgehammer because they always make those offbeat ones We'll get a Halo from a subsidiary of Activision, and then we'll get another Call of Duty from Raven or whatever the other company that kind of make it.
Josh ThompsonHOST
And then it kind of cycles through those four or five development teams to release an annualized game.
Josh ThompsonHOST
And Halo is part of that.
DaveHOST
Um, Obviously, the big one is Halo.
DaveHOST
Halo is moving under the purview of Activision, and they were clear in this press release to say that it's going to be a new purpose-built studio, so it's not going to be Treyarch or Infinity Ward or Sledgehammer or anything like that.
DaveHOST
But I cannot help but think that some of those resources are going to be shuffled into this new purpose-built thing.
DaveHOST
If Microsoft is looking for efficiencies, they're not just going to suddenly let Activision create a brand new team just for Halo.
Max ScovillePANELIST
Putting it under Activision and, like, a, a bespoke team, I, I'm...
Max ScovillePANELIST
I wanna hear more information, you know? 'Cause, like, when you hear "Activision," that could mean Treyarch or Sledgehammer or it could mean, like, Toys for Bob.
Max ScovillePANELIST
Like, where is this going? Who's working on it? Uh, you know, to Ryan's point, yeah, like, Call of Duty, love it or hate it, those are g- generally pretty rock solid, impressive, uh, at the bare minimum, functional games that ship on time.
Max ScovillePANELIST
And yeah, I'm, I'm sorta curious to see, like, what, what does a pencils down approach to Halo look like?
ChopperHOST
And Activision is now in charge of...
ChopperHOST
the development of the next game, and people have been speculating that Sledgehammer is going to be allegedly working on this game.
ChopperHOST
It's Sledgehammer.
ChopperHOST
There's no way that's not.
ChopperHOST
Yeah, you think
ChopperHOST
Yeah, I would trust him.
IAmRobGUEST
He, uh...
IAmRobGUEST
He says that Sledgehammer made a prototype for an ODST2 game.
AndrewHOST
Yeah, part of me thinks that that just means that they're going to take all those extra Call of Duty people that Activision has and put them on Halo.
MattHOST
Like Sledgehammer or something.
AndrewHOST
You're going to get a Halo every other year and a COD every other year instead of a COD every year now.
AndrewHOST
You know, that kind of thing.
Mr. BoomStick XLHOST
Ghost of Hope is a notorious leaker when it comes to Call of Duty.
Mr. BoomStick XLHOST
Well, thanks to TechnicalHalo on Twitter, we now know, and this has basically been confirmed, that both Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch currently seem to be hiring people to work on Halo.
Mr. BoomStick XLHOST
Let, let me just say this, ladies and gentlemen.
Mr. BoomStick XLHOST
If you're not excited about that, I'm not gonna fight with you.
