Goodbye Ensemble Studios. Welcome Spawnpoint Studios

Gamasutra has discovered new job postings indicating a new internal Microsoft Game Studios division called Spawnpoint Studios, staffed partly by members of Microsoft's Gears Of War 2 team - might this be the name of the company's much-reported internal Halo development division?

Quote
It's known that Microsoft is expanding its control over the Halo IP following franchise creator Bungie's move to become an independent studio.

"Would you like to work on a next-generation project, built from the ground up in MGS / Spawnpoint Studios? We have a very strong team, currently responsible for Gears of War 2, starting a new project in a start-up like environment. This is a rare opportunity to work on a team of game industry experts tackling a new challenge."

Epic is probably too small to do all the art, code, management and shit for Gears 2.
