Best audio test ever.
Mother of God...
So not 343.
edit: Frankie confirms Staten isn't working on Halo

edit2: Oh and there may or may not be a big Halo thing coming out today.
My thoughts exactly
Halos story was awful, except for the first game that contained at least some mystery
So no Halo.
No biggie. Still a huge pick up for MS.
Kinect Fitness written by Joe Staten coming in 2016 confirmed
Sweet, always good to see a fellow Walsh.
Don't be keeping secrets!

Ahhh...
So he's replacing Adam Orth at Microsoft, not actually working on any specific game.

Frankie is saying something is going to happen in none-sleeps
Frankie posted in HaloGAF something along the lines of, "none sleeps remaining". Usually when there's announcement or any kind of Halo news, Frankie teases us with sleeps remaining. What be means then is that something Halo related is happening today.
When the Staten news dropped we all wondered if that was what he was referring to. In that last post I just linked, he confirms that the Staten news was not what he was talking about. Jessica Shea (Sr. Community Manager at 343) also tweeted something about Good news coming today.
So, there's got to be something Halo related coming today. However, we don't know what it is.
I have no insider info, trust me.

I believe he's pretty much Phil Spencer's number 2. In the Ryse: Son of Rome credits he below Phil in their own section of them... "Partner studio manager" is his title, you're right though, third parties.

Awesome news, hope he can do some good there. One of my favorite personalities in the industry, I remember watching a video of him doing a speech at a graduation, and it was damn inspiring.
The day is almost over in the US. Tomorrow maybe? Would make sense being a Friday and what not.

It's still only 3:30 PM on the west coast.
Intriguing most intriguing. Didn't know Frankie was on GAF.

Left Bungie for new challenges, joins 343 to work on more Halo.
Makes sense.

They should have hired him BEFORE they revealed the Xbox One last year. Maybe he could have stemmed some of the awful negative publicity that Microsoft and Adam Orth unleashed.

He doesn't appear to be working on Halo or any game. He's Microsoft's new Creative Director, taking Adam Orth's old position. He's a Product Marketing Executive now.
He's a "features" guy. At least, that's what it looks like.
I must say, they should definitely tap him to write/direct/produce for the Halo TV show. Why waste that kind of talent, especially since HE created lots of the LORE itself.

Here's to hoping that they'll reveal, whatever they're teasing, within 1.5 hours. It's already Friday in Europe and further to the east.
Says quite clearly above that he's not working on Halo.
Maybe you guys should actually read the thread? Might be helpful.

2k owns it, it became theirs when MS bought the 19.9 percent of bungie that they owned.

I can understand people loving Halo for it's gameplay. Mainly because I quite enjoy it and could READ about it all day. It's undeniably clever.
But the story was not remarkable at all. It was kinda generic tosh.

True I suppose, the normal news cycle is coming to a close though.
Anyways, hype hype hype.

Well, it looks like 2014 will be the year of the Sci-Fi shooter.
Destiny, Titanfall, Halo 5, next?

And here I thought the problem with halo 4 was the MP...

but what does that mean for Destiny, one has to wonder...
to be perfectly honest Halo 4's rather severely misguided take on 'Halo' will need a LOT of repairs in the sequel. I do not expect there to be many though.
