Now tester at 343i.[/quote][quote]*All found on LinkedIn[/quote][/quote] Out of the 13 people listed above, there are 6 contractors listed. That's 7 full-time people from Bungie. Worked on Halo 2? That's 4. How many of that 4 worked directly on the game's content (and not marketing)? That's 2; Vic DeLeon and Greg Snook. There are 70+ people working at 343 Industries. 2 prominent Bungie employees is only 2.85% of the whole company. [quote][/quote] Whilst that is a sizable list, bear in mind that a lot of these guys were not at Bungie for very long (and certainly none of them worked on Halo 1) and those who were weren't all in-game content creators. I'd personally say only Vic DeLeon and Greg Snook are the only two guys from Bungie at 343i currently, on that list, that were at Bungie long enough to actually make a sizable impact on the series. In conclusion, no, there aren't "mainly Bungie staff" but there are, at least, a few people that 343i have picked up who have done something at Bungie over the years. Prominent or important? Not as much as you'd think.[/quote] [Edited on 08.17.2011 4:24 PM PDT]
