Frankie, other Ex-Bungie employees at 343 and Jason Jones
Well, I think some things need to be clarified:
Frankie isn't that mastermind behind the Halo series some people here are considering him to be. He joined Bungie after Halo 1. During the development of Halo 2 he was only active on Bungie.net and for Halo 3 he was Managing Editor.
Jason Jones still works at Bungie and didn't go to 343. He just dropped the role of Project Lead after Halo 2 and wasn't involved in Halo 3 or ODST. But for Halo Reach he served as a Designer. Maybe he will take the position of Project Lead again for Bungie's next game.
Look it up: [url]http://www.halopedian.com/Credits[/url]
In addition to Frankie there are only three or four other Ex-Bungie employees working at 343. Like Frankie they didn't have leading positions at Bungie and most of them I think weren't there before Halo 2.
I just wanted to say that.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Switchfoot4 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] iMacGod I will never understand how or why Jason takes a smaller role at Bungie (or at least based on the credits) since Halo 2. I do not recall seeing him in any interviews for 3 or anything after that. I'm going to guess he'll have a bigger role with Bungie's next big thing, but since Halo 2, it just seems like he disappeared.[/quote]He wanted to stop Halo after Halo 2. Microsoft demanded that they make 3 more games in order for them to become independent. He doesn't really like to be in the spot light. The most you can see him in an interview is the "[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mm6yFEPY9lw]New Beginnings[/url]" video. And he [i]is[/i] the biggest role in Bungie's new project.[/quote] Indeed, Jason Jones probably hates the spotlight as much as he hates making sequels. There is no point of being in the spotlight, like Ken Levine or John Carmack, when there are literally hundreds of people working on a AAA video game. I'm surprised Jason even appeared in that "new beginnings" video. Originally Bungie wanted to stop Halo after Halo 2. I believe their plan was to make Halo 2 this really epic masterpiece with a lengthy campaign. The plan backfired really badly since they only had, what?, like 2 years to make Halo 2. Even then the game is in general better than Halo 3 and Halo: Reach because, I personally think, it lacked the direction of Jones and Staten. Edit: Also correction to the OT. Jason wasn't really a designer on Halo: Reach. He is listed as additional support. Which means it was more like feedback on the game; similar to his role in Halo 3. [Edited on 07.11.2011 4:25 PM PDT]

I'm confused.

But I fort Bungee charged there name to 343 because giulty spark is just so kewl, if their are only a phew bungees at 343 what will happen to the halo man??? And Jason Jones is obviously living in a bunker with a lady who may or may not have agreed to do so in order to perform a real life "[url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhMQOb0tEmI]Blast from the past[/url]" experiment. Should take about another twenty five years, give or take.

I think this will help a lot of people get a better understanding of whats really going on. Nice thread.

Link proof if you have any.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Switchfoot4 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Jose291 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Switchfoot4 Most of this is just common knowledge. [/quote] Some people are just plain ignorant.[/quote]I don't know if you are talking about me, or the people that don't know any of these stuff. That or you used the term incorrectly. But he's my thoughts. Frankie, most people know that he worked at Bungie and now he is the lead at 343i and the lead in all things Halo. I would of assumed that most people (at least people who know who Jason Jones is) would understand that he is not at 343i. I've never seen anyone say he was. I don't know why people would think that, he's been at Bungie for the past 20 years, and from what I understand despises Microsoft. I can understand about people not knowing that he quit project lead after Halo 2 (thus the term "most"). And yes, 343i does have some Bungie employees. I would assume most people would know this. And since this is a fact giving thread. The three ex-Bungie employees are: Frankie (duh) Shishka Vic Deleon Jason Jones wrote about half the story of Marathon Trilogy and most of the Myth: TFL. Jason Jones is a co-founder of Bungie with Alex Seropian. One of the things that Jason liked about Alex is that Alex was very tight with money, and would never waste any money where they didn't have to. Jason Jones was initially excited to work at Microsoft because he would be able to develop on the XBOX. Only three current employee's have worked on games as far as Myth: TFL. Jason Jones, Robt McLees and Marty O'Donnell. Marty wasn't officially a Bungie employee, but did contract work and developed the OST for Myth: TFL.[/quote] Jason Jones is the longest running Bungie Employee/er. Meaning he would have had ultimate say in all things, no? Even if he wasn't involved in the overall development of Halo 3 and ODST, he would of still had the odd input.

Jason Jones has been working on their next IP for years... I believe he was also in the first 8-10 people who came together to plan Halo Reach after Halo 3 was released.

Also Frankie joined Bungie when work on Halo 2 was coming to an end and during Halo 3 he was a managing editor for Bungie.net and marketing material. Anyways, I wish he was still around with Bungie because he was easily one of the most funniest of Bungie employees. Edit: I also understand where the OP is coming from. A lot of people think Frankie and ex-Bungie employees that worked on Halo 1 are now working for 343i. This couldn't be any further away from the truth. [Edited on 07.10.2011 9:22 PM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Kretos Interesting, I wonder what he designed in Reach.[/quote] Presumably nothing Halo related since Halo 2. Depends on what you mean by "designed". I remember in a podcast someone saying that he sat down with all the designers of Halo 3 and played through their missions. It was near the end where they could make a significant change to the mission. He would give feedback on the mission and tell them how to improve it. Other then that, not really designing anything. People say that he's been working on the new project after Halo 2 and before Halo 3.
