So will 343 develop Halo 5 by themselves or will there be stuff outsourced like there already has been?

You don't seem to understand how a gaming company or companies in general work whatsoever. 200 people aren't going to be able to do all of that so instead of trying to point at 343I for "not doing anything" how about you provide us with Devs that did every single part of the game all by themselves which i know you won't be able to do because it doesn't work like that. The Plot was written by them and that is what matters in addition to the MP set up. They wouldn't have the time to do everything else within the span of 2-4 years. "Outsourcing" is equal to contracting.
