OMG YES! Bungie's style is what I know Halo to be, and 343 tried to do it without them, and they failed. Sure it's an okay game, but the ONLY thing about it that feels AT ALL like ANY OTHER Halo game are Chief and SOME of the guns. That's it. Everything else (plot, atmosphere, music, graphics, new crappy armor that looks like plastic) feels nothing like Halo. But the good news is that even if Bungie never does make another Halo game, I can always go back an reminisce in ODST (my all time fav) and the other great games that made Halo what it was before "Halo" 4 killed the franchise in terms of quality of product, not quantity of income (they're rich as f*ck).
