[Ifafudafi]

From today's Weekly Update. (http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=13795)

Read at the very bottom.

I...

I don't know what to say.

[legionaire45]

This is a sad moment. I liked all his commentaries and general humor =(. I hope he gets involved with another game studio and does something similar to the Bungie weekly updates.

[paladin]

Hes still halo though...

[Botolf]

D:

It's not as big a deal as it could have been, though, now he's going to protect teh Haloz from within MGS.

[Kornman00]

:woop:

[MNC]

Ok.

[n00b1n8R]

What's Frank's claim to fame?

[Kornman00]

the fact that he has recon...thats about it :-3

[Llama Juice]

HAY! He also has a picture of him in Containment... so... yea. That's worth bragging about.

[Stormwing]

He looks NOTHING like I expected him to, big let down...
Sad to see him go, he was Bungies front man =\

[cheezdue]

Its sad watching someone go.

[Hotrod]

now he's going to protect teh Haloz from within MGS.

And teh Haloz needs to be protected. Didn't he mention that he would be working close to the Halo franchise?

I guess that he's doing what he thinks is best for him. I hope that everything goes well for him, even though it's sad to see him go.

[ultama121]

Hell no, hell no, hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! D:

Those are really old pictures lol I'm not even sure if one of those is real, but anyways here is Frank O'Connor giving you a tour of Bungie Studios, you really should see this lol -

Halo 2 Launch (old studios): Part1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcsvGtyUnGk
Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZuq6NX2k6E
Before Halo 3 announcement, new studios: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6n8ytkhyzk

[Syuusuke]

There were two, one before moving to that newer studio.

[Corndogman]

So now theres an inside man at Microsoft, maybe he can convince some people to give us H3CE.

[Masterz1337]

I remember when he first joined Bungie. Sad to see him go, but he's still involved with Halo.

[MNC]

WTF Frankie has hair in these pics.

[Kornman00]

HAY! He also has a picture of him in Containment
That's one of the level artists IIRC, not frankinstien (if you're referring to the man on the moon anyway...)

[n00b1n8R]

Why are you people getting so soppy over some guy you've never fucking met? or even known of outside some newsposts at some game company's site?

boo hoo

[Kornman00]

Why are you people getting so soppy over some guy you've never fucking met?
I've met him and I'm not getting soppy :eng101:

Besides, its not like hes totally moving on, he is just going back to his old root employer (MS) to work on what hes been working on since hes been with Bungie...

[t3h m00kz]

Frankie may be parted from Bungie, but... on the bright side, at least he's not going to let MSG fuck up Halo.

ahh true, everyone said it was frankie when the map was new but lookin around on the internets turns out it's Chris Carney, an environment artist. He put that same picture of him in Standoff (http://flamesoffeenix.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/standoffcarney.jpg) aparently.

Are you sure you want to bite that bullet now, or wait until some of the new works are actually released :eng101:

Master Chief Teaches Typing?
"K-I-L-L-I-O-N-A-I-R-E"

...now I want to go and play Typing of the Dead.

[JDMFSeanP]

I've met him, and talked to him a few times at launch parties and mainly the Halo 3 IMAX event.

Hes a neat guy, nothing will really change, its just sad to see him go.

[leorimolo]

I'm not all sad, he just made the updates worth reading at times lol...
