And, you say that bungie can do what they want to? Well, not anymore. It's in hands of 343 industries now.
Anyway, I'm just stating my own opinion, that's all.

And frankly, a game where Reach falls in a day, is mostly fought in space and the ground battles lasted mere hours would be BORING. The only way you could pull 10 or so hours out of that would be to have multiple characters jumping all over the place. Didn't large amounts of people complain about ODST for the very same reason?
ODST was rushed game. That's why lot of people were complaining about it.
And it is true that space battle lasted a day but not ground battles. It lasted several weeks, actually. No, it won't be boring because you can play as member of Blue Team or Master Chief for short time then back to Red team defending the generators and, retreating back to caves for while until Master Chief comes back and rescues them.
Ok first off, Bungie only released control of Halo after Reach was finished, all 343 studios has really done is made a few multi-player maps, so yes, Bungie has had creative control of the franchise up to Reach, which is what we're talking about.
Oh and 343 studios? That's essentially the Bungie staff that wanted to keep making Halo games for Microsoft.
Eh.... the ground battle ended quickly. After the first day the fleet was destroyed and the planet was glassed, only a handful of spartans remained, and they conducted a bunch of guerrilla raids. After that they hid in the mines, found some forerunner crystal, ran like hell in a stolen covie ship.
None of that sounds that fun to me. A good read, but not so fun.
