Well 343 has already made Halo into a carbon CoD copy (which is funny because CoD has spent it's lifetime copying Medal of Honour and Halo), so why would the original Halo creators want to make a CoD game?

Bungie's about semi-explorative maps, and being a new generation FPS with roots from old ones.
