Stinkles spent way too fucking long posting on gaf and era and not enough time doing his job.
Who's left at the top? Figured they would all be let go sooner or later when they start fixing 343.
What about the lore specifically did he annihilate?He's honestly the main reason in my book. He completely anhilated the LORE Bungie has carefully build for Halo 1-3, ODST and Reach.
Microsoft Studios management became really bad;strange after Phil took over so i dont blame Bonni and Kiki as much.
I'm not sure what the other poster is referring to, but I personally didn't like how convoluted the lore got post Halo 3, and how it seemed like they went off in a different direction than the foreshadowing Bungie had laid out would suggest - that humans are actually Forerunners fulfilling the reclaimer duty. Why else would humans show up as Forerunner artifacts when the Covenant scanned Reach?What about the lore specifically did he annihilate?
That's what I assumed he was referring to but I was just curious is if there was anything else. While I do agree that things got pretty convoluted and you started needing to read the books to understand the games.. but personally I enjoyed the change, specifically how the forerunners were fleshed out by Greg Bear. Easily my favorite series in the Halo universe!I'm not sure what the other poster is referring to, but I personally didn't like how convoluted the lore got post Halo 3, and how it seemed like they went off in a different direction than the foreshadowing Bungie had laid out would suggest - that humans are actually Forerunners fulfilling the reclaimer duty.

Someone linked this and I watched it last night, seems a pretty good summary. Basically they diverged from the lore, then wrote themselves into infinite retcons. The weight of this seems heavily put onto O'Connor who started this with IRIS and the Halo 3 terminals and then became franchise director overseeing the other changes which weren't lore bound. It's not so much that the books add context, it's that the books are part of the recon as well. So you technically need them to understand wtf had changed.That's what I assumed he was referring to but I was just curious is if there was anything else.

*checks current year*With Bonnie Ross gone, and Kiki Wolfkill out, Frank O'Connor was the only name left. With this, the people who can be said to be directly responsible for the fall of Halo have all been removed. With the house now clean, Halo might actually get the treatment is deserves.
Unpopular opinion probably but Halo was about Humans vs Covenant. All that forerunner arbiter crap killed the story.Halo 1,2,3 get back to that quality the tank levels in 3 were brilliant and that beach level in halo 1, but no more arbitaer
You don't need a heavy story just some alien bastards who need a good kicking.
Wasn't he accused of grooming a teen or something?There were multiple instances, not going to bother capping them all from Resetera but they kept giving him a pass because he was an "Industry name" until the dam broke. He got a weak #metoo moment as well. I know what you mean, he's got the look.
I bet Staten fucking hated working with him at 343i as he shat all over what Staten had crafted in the Halo Story Bible while Bungie had it.He's honestly the main reason in my book. He completely anhilated the LORE Bungie has carefully build for Halo 1-3, ODST and Reach.

in that picture, he is telling you two.W

Oh, joy.They already promoted Corrine Robinson to the new Franchise Development Director role to replace Frankie. She has been with the company for 13.5 years working under Frankie in franchise development....
Oh, joy.
