Doesn't sound like a short delay. But I for one welcome Staten back.
Make another game about ODST you cowards.

Leadership remains the same. Bonny and Chris Lee. They're bringing on Halo vets to assist/guide.
The community update that was just released minutes ago says otherwise
- Bring back Marty too
- Get this ship back on track asap
- Kill the Xbox One version
- Delay till 2022
Who knows, but not the thread for that, lets focus on the story, not the dismissal of people from their jobs.
Basically this, but I mean if you're going to bring somebody in to help release a struggling Halo game, he's the man to do it.
Just having him in ANY role at 343 Industries is very exciting to say the least! All post-launch content will have his finger prints all over it. Not to mention every other non-Infinite Halo project. Joe isn't the type of person to just sit back and say yes or no, this or that. He gets his hands dirty. He's a writer and game director at heart, so even if he's brought in just to help manage projects, his creative side will take over and suddenly we'll have Halo content written by Joe. Oh, I can't fucking wait.
Probably until the game ships. Big change is definitely needed over there. The studio is a disaster.
These arrivals don't necessarily mean that game will release in Fall 2021 or 2022.
Not the same game, not the same people, not the same era, but Rod joining Irrational in late development of Bioshock Infinite actually helped to release it on time after the delay (from 2012 to 2013), several departures and the game being a no-show at E3 2012.

MS isn't going to pay a ~$200K salary for an optics PR movie that less than 1% of the hardcore Halo audience would know or care about.
I think what Patrick's alluding to isn't that Joe will somehow cause more delays, but the fact that such a big managerial shakeup is happening this late in development points to the project being in a far worse shape than we've previously been lead to believe and that it's going to take a lot more work to get it to a shippable state than what could be done with a delay of only 4, 6 or maybe even 12 months.
My guess is that they have a lot of pieces and they need to find some way to make it all fit, some connecting thread. Because internally I'm 90% sure they are like, this campaign isn't working. Joseph, with knowledge of the lore and cutscene scripting, would be perfect to find said thread.Staten is now confirmed to be back

Great move but seems like it's only a temporary hire to help get Infinite out the door.
My goodness this game must be going through a special kind of development hell. I really doubt there's much Staten can do in less than a year but hopefully he can help steer this thing in the right direction for launch.

Damn, that's big. Seems to point to 2022 being a lot more likely. If this turns the project around it's definitely worth it.
What can he realistically do in years time to right the ship here?
The Halo franchise is cursed to endless crunch and arduous development cycles.
Dead Serious. Might've been rough around the edges but the story was good and the gameplay was unique.

Hopefully it's not a repeat of that. Rod got the game out the door, but that studio doesn't exist anymore and we haven't had a Bioshock game ever since.
Staten could have the same task that Rod had - Just get the game out the door.
So less bad but still not great. Yeah, I think we got a November 2021 campaign reboot coming up.
I like Joe. He's the voice of the original Grunts and I liked the way Halo 2 dove into the Covenant hierarchy.
However, I worry he was a driving force behind the Chief / Cortana relationship in Halo 3 that bogged down the characters in subsequent games.
Still, if anyone was going to be helping point Halo's story and lore in the right direction he's the first person I'd bring on board.

I don't think the game is being remade like H2 was, I still think Spring/Summer is going to be the new release.
Help oversee the complete reboot within a narrow timeframe ala Bungie/Halo 2.
If this is going to be the only Halo games for the next 10 years I hope they delay it for as long as it needs to be delayed. Give me the graphics from the reveal trailer and downscale it for the xbox one.
Have you heard of Halo 2? That game went through a similar development hell, ended up being pretty great. They essentially rebuilt the game 9 months before release.
Doubtful. Videogames are more complicated today than in 2004. There will not be a reboot of Infinite especially considering it's semi open world. There is not enough time to do a reboot.
Game dev changed a lot since then, god help 343 if they are going to remade anything in this game.
Seems optimistic at best to imagine they could do the same thing that Bungie did during Halo 2 though. They've already spent six years and half a billion dollars to deliver what they have now and AAA games are much more complex right?
