Content Manager Frank O'Connor of Bungie fame is bailing to work closely with Microsoft on the future of the Halo franchises it seems. Announced in what will be his final Bungie.net update.
"I am leaving you. I am off to work more closely with Microsoft on the Halo franchise, so I shan’t be too far away, but I wanted to take this last chance, appropriately enough in a Weekly Update, to tell you a very fond thanks. Thanks for being the most energized, enthusiastic, loyal, faithful, creative, imaginative and incredible community any video game could ever have." said Frank in his post. "Thanks for being patient when things went wrong, when playlists didn’t work, when matchmaking broke, when bugs were being fixed. Thanks for the mail, the screenshots, the movies, the machinima, the models, the paintings and the sheer enthusiasm and talent you’ve shown me over the years."
"Thanks for not following through on the death threats."
One thing Frankie did do before bailing was tease us all about the 'The Next Big Thing' in the post.
And on that note, let me tell you a bit about the coming years. It was very hard for me to make the decision to move on, but one thing that made it just a bit easier, was seeing the amazing work that’s coming down the pipe. I was busy working on a story for one of our next games, an experience that is destined to surprise, amaze and entertain like nothing we’ve ever made before. That game has an amazing team invested in it, and one that will be tasked with building the Next Big Thing. You should see what they’ve already achieved, you truly should.
If you want to check out the full post jump on over to Frankie's update on Bungie.net, containing among other things, a bunch of Frankie photoshops and a whole lot of old school Bungie references (GNOP fans get excited).
