Will Waltz, a former animator at 343 Industries for over 10 years, has decided to publicly discuss the recent changes announced by the company, now renamed as Halo Studios and planning to develop games using Unreal Engine 5.
Accusations against 343 Industries leadership
Waltz warns industry workers to stay away from 343 Industries, claiming that the name change does not represent real changes within the company. He accuses the leadership of ignoring requests to develop Halo Infinite using Unreal Engine, even firing employees who supported the idea.
Potential benefits of using Unreal Engine
Waltz argues that developing Halo Infinite on Unreal Engine would have been much better for fans, criticizing the management for ignoring this option for years. He claims that transitioning engines earlier could have saved Microsoft Gaming billions of dollars.
