I know that Ensemble Studios made the Age of Empires RTS, but I never really liked that game soo much, and I'm slightly worried that this Halo spin-off might not be as good as it could be if made by Bungie.
But Ensemble is good at what they do, and we are actively involved in not only giving them feedback on their game, but also making sure the fiction matches up with what they are doing.
Ensemble Studios have to work closely with Bungie's creative team to make sure everything is to spec and doesn't contravene Halo canon.

 Postmortem: Ensemble Studios’ Age of Empires II: The Age of Kings
While the Ensemble Studios crew adjusted quickly, it caused a few problems for some of the people at Microsoft: “Uh, guys, we’ve already gone ahead and committed to our bosses that we would have another Age of Empires game this year,” is probably a good way to paraphrase it.
To further underscore the need, the composition of Ensemble Studios had shifted dramatically away from being mostly young, single men (with presumably no life) to being dominated by married men with a growing number of children and babies on the way.
And like that band going back into the studio to record a follow up to a hit album, we encountered a whole slew of brand new problems, many of which we found we were just as unprepared for as we were the first time around.
