Honestly, I think it would have been better if it was made by Sony or Microsoft than Activision, EA, or any other publisher. I know that Sony likes to give the developers their own space, and make sure they make a game they are happy with, instead of forcing a release when it isn't ready (like Driveclub and Order: 1886), and Microsoft is the same. Exclusivity would have been a downer for a lot of gamers, but it would have given Bungie the time they needed to fully flesh it out. My second recommendation would be 2K, because they seem to be a pretty decent publisher.
