Bungie is in partnership with Activision.
Bungie has FULL control over their new game. They can make it how they want.
Acitivsion does have the right, as the publisher, to know all the contents of the game, so they know if it is worth publishing, etc. But I think Activision has stated in recent interviews that they have full faith in Bungie's ability to make a universe that the majority would love to get into.
Infinity Ward, Treyarch, etc... are OWNED by Activision. Activision has can tell them to restart production on a game if they wanted.
Bungie is not owned by Acitivsion, therefore, Bungie in some ways, is more in charge then Acitivsion.
I'm not being sarcastic at all, seriously, that's some amazing information right there. For some reason, "politics" in the video game industry really interest me.
Think of it this way.
Activision-Blizzard is Washington DC, with the President, Senate, Congress, etc etc... (I am not American, so I do not know it all). And then all the companies they own are the States.
But, Bungie is, lets say, The UK. US and UK are Allies, but neither has the right to tell each other what to do (well, at a major scale).
That is how it works... in very laments terms...
