If they've still got some of the old guard, they should be in good shape. Yeah, I was a bit snarky with the “second IP” line. :) Bungie’s been a sweet studio.

It will be interesting to see if they can break into another IP with their next full game - well, their first non-Halo IP in awhile. Sure, Marathon isn't really that far removed from Halo (I've seen some wiki articles attempt to tie the two universes together), but Myth was a successful departure back in the day (and didn't they make Oni as well?) Still, those games are 10 years old now. I'm wondering what they'll do in trying to make a modern game. An expansion pack does seem like a bit of a cop-out, but oh well.
