I'd rather the base game be fixed before they add more to it :/
alo 3: ODST Campaign – Development has just started on the campaign for Halo 3: ODST, which will be available within Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and upgraded to 1080p resolution, running at 60fps. It will be available for free to anyone who has played Halo: The Master Chief Collection since launch (11.11.14) through today (12.19.14).* Thanks to our friends at Bungie for creating the original “Halo 3: ODST” campaign.

ODST has no multiplayer, so the only teams that work on it are the campaign teams. This would affect nothing in multiplayer.
Do you want them to bring in Certain Affinity and Ruffian Games to work on updates too then?

You really think outsourcing the updates to them is going to get the game fixed any sooner?

So it can work, which doesn't mean that it would work to hand it over to other companies though.
