Frankie Drops Bungie to Work at Microsoft

The voice of Bungie, Frank O’Conner, is no more. Frankie is heading to Microsoft to continue working on the Halo franchise.

Can’t say I really blame him, here. Microsoft is going to want to keep Halo as close to the vest as possible and Frankie has been with the series from the beginning. I wonder if this is a trend we’re going to continue to see occur with more Bungie employees heading over to their former boss?

Still no word on what the next Halo game will be, who will be heading up development, and what we can expect. I’m hoping for either a very early prequel with the ODST Hell Jumpers as the main playable characters before the Spartan II program, or maybe later on in the battles when the Spartan III’s got into the mix. Yes people, there are more Spartans. Read the books.

    "Microsoft is going to want to keep Halo as close to the vest as possible and Frankie has been with the series from the beginning."

    Not that it matters, but he actually left an editorial position at Official Xbox Magazine to join Bungie in the middle of Halo 2's development. He didn't hide his love for Halo during his stay at OXM, so it was kinda cool when I read he was leaving the mag as a fan to become "The voice of Bungie" .
