Reportedly, the Halo Studios team was affected by last week's Microsoft and Xbox layoffs, and one dev says it's not "really happy about the quality" of the next Halo game.

Microsoft is scrapping two upcoming video games, a reboot of "Perfect Dark" and the fantasy title "Everwild," in addition to ending development on several unannounced projects.
