Wasn’t Phil Specter former head of Xbox a big part of the original Halo franchise?

Nope, Let it Be. They later stripped it and released Let it Be: Naked. George Martin was still on the White Album.

Nope. He was head of Microsoft Game Studios Europe from 2001-2008 until he took over globally. By that point the only Halo game to come from Bungie was Reach.

That's Phil Spencer. Phil Spector was a record producer (and convicted murderer).
