I like Joe and he’s been a cool public facing Game director. But the fact of the matter is this game has been is a disaster of a nose dive since TWQ. The expansion itself was awesome, but the post-expansion seasons sucked, so did Lightfall, & so has LF’s post expansion content. Since Joe has taken over as game director the game has progressively become worse in terms of quality, quantity, bugs, and just poor decisions made by the studio. This isn’t saying that it was all Joe’s fault or he did a bad job. All I’m saying is the employees running the studio for the past few years have taken the franchise into a horrible direction. Removing and replacing these employees is probably what needs to happen to pull this franchise out of the fire. Sometimes it’s not an individual screwing up the process, but the collection of employees not vibing with each other and thus producing poor content. Like a band that replaces a few members and their next few albums suck. Then they reunite and produce a banger album. It doesn’t mean those musicians were bad musicians. They just didn’t vibe with each other and the music they produced sucked because of it.

It's a sinking ship and people are manning the lifeboats

The buck stops at the game director. He took a gamble on tweaking game difficulty and it didn't pay off. I get that a lot of people here agreed, but revenue didn't fall at far faster than normal attrition levels because the entire population was happy.

Tyson green was a mission designer and multi-player map designer for halo 1 2 3 and reach and designed fire fight maps for reach

Good riddance. He was the one who insisted on the difficulty changes that everyone hated to please his beloved elitist streamers and it obviously backfired judging by the cratering population. He deserved to be fired for ruining the game for everyone bar content creators.

He’s realised you can’t polish a poop 💩 and has decided to jump before he’s pushed. Just the latest in a long, long line of fails. No doubt the fanboys will jump to his defence and say he was doing good while the game crashes weekly and can’t deliver content on time.

Sony are definitely involved now ….why wouldn’t they ! Bungie has been all over the place .

Joe Blackburn is actually leaving next month… it’s all over twitter (including Joe Blackburn’s account). In other words… Either D2 Director, Joe Blackburn, decided to quit on the game or perhaps was forced to step down 😳 don’t know which answer is worse… Joe is the one who promised to improve the game just a few months ago… and now he’s leaving 🚩🚩 😂😂😂

Tyson Green was the multiplayer design lead for Halo 3.

[quote]Joe Blackburn is leaving Bungie after the Final Shape’s launch for “new adventures”. The new Game Director will be Tyson Green (whoever he is). Hope he does well though. 👍🏾[/quote] Tyson green has a very good record.

This guy worked on my childhood and teenage years! “Green is one of Bungie’s longest-serving staff members with over two decades of experience since working on Myth II, an RTS game developed by the company back in 1998. He has worked on a myriad of projects at the iconic company across a variety of genres and is best known for his work on Bungie’s Halo, with design credits in Halo, Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach. Green primarily worked on the design team during this time, helping to create missions and Halo 3’s multiplayer, as well as completing work on Halo: Reach’s epic Firefight mode. ”

I mean what did we expect. The game is essentially over after FS and only barely kept alive after that to fill the time until marathon is ready. Obviously he jumps ship. I mean he also pushed the cringe elitist "bring challenge back to destiny" agenda to satisfy content creators while he cant even kill an overload champ for like 10 minutes himself. Then again, Luke smith was also disliked by the community and he probably made a lot of terrible decisions such as sunsetting etc. But what do we learn from this? The game director himself can only do so much. Whoever does the job still has to make greedy business decisions left and right because the investors and higher ups at Bungie demand it. Doesnt matter who has the game director job in such a massive capitalistic company.
