Good to be optimistic. I don't have as much faith as you but I'll be open minded
completely sarcastic.
343 has too much of a revolving door due to microsoft hiring policies of relying on contractors

Meh. I’m over just shitting on 343. They’re incapable clearly.
What should be more discouraging is that Microsoft was also quick to pull the plug on Infinite. They don’t care.

Moving away from slipspace to unreal may have been influenced by wanting to take it multiplatform and we have reports and rumors that Halo 6 will be.
To their credit. The 343 and any outside devs and studios working on the next Halo project… they kinda deserve a clean slate seeing how the 343 that made Infinite has been cycled out due to a number of circumstances…

Hiring after significant layoffs... I don't understand this management style at all. Couldn't you just have at least the team let go work on some expansion packs or have another game be in early development to have them move on to so you could avoid this?

They could do alot of that and more. Reshuffling or giving internal teams who have been let go first dibs at some of these positions should be a mandate. Idk but sometimes things are more complex than what they seem, who knows. Of course not everyone is an automatic fit in regards to layoff and filling an advertised position. Maybe thy have a mandate to always advertise new positions or something, I know my job does whether we are hiring internally or not.
They're better off just ditching Halo and trying to make some new I.P they've ruined the franchise after 4 and they clearly have no idea where to go after Infinite. Even if they ported this franchise to P.S it's pretty much dead. I'm more surprised they haven't handed it over to Activision yet.

Or giving it a long rest and working on it behind the scenes. Few years down the line "boom a reboot everyone" with gd advertising and this would make bank.

I think it would be better to dissolve 343 move the remaining 343 employees to other MS, Bethesda and Activision Blizzard studios.
Then I'd let ID software lead the new Halo game at the same tine they work in the next Doom, with support from several teams from Microsoft (Infinity Ward, Treyarch, The Coalition, Machine Games, Blizzard who would help them sharing their best expertise in shooters gameplay and design, MP, GaaS, art or visual tech). The idea would be to rebuild Halo being true to its roots and core pilars but modernizing and refreshing everything else getting stuff from the other games that works today.
One of the reasons of firing them was that they weren't capable of including what they had at launch even if they had the game delayed a lot, and because a good amount of time after release they haven't been able to release a meaningful post launch output.
So they may be trying to replace some people to see if they can fix this.

The idea is to fire less productive people, people whose output has less quality, people who maybe are burned out or who has a too high salary for to the job they do. And then hire people with fresh energy, expertise, knowledge and potential in areas where they need to improve.
