KillJoyseries89 reviews Halo Waypoint (X360)

would I be dense for asking who Frank O'Conner is/was ? what happened to Frank ?

Frank O'Connor was the mastermind behind Halo. After Halo 2 released, he left Bungie. After Halo 3 and during Halo: Reach's release he came back to work for 343 Industries, a....branch off of the Microsoft tree so to speak. He is what gave Halo life. I was a fan of Reach until I got demoted. I reserved the game and got it at the mid-night release at GameStop. Had all of the DLCs. But for some reason they demoted me for "being away from my controller during a multiplayer session of Firefight." As a father, I was probably being yelled at by my son for a new diaper. But for the current Bungie being mindless 40 year old virgins, they would never understand. So,I took the game back to GameStop and kept the additional stuff (ie; diary and badge). And now Bungie is working on multi-platform games with Activision. Activision also help Treyarch with Call of Duty. 6 letter word for EpicFail? B U N G I E. Sorry, but it all had to come out. lol.

I thank you (on behalf of all who may read this as well) for the informative, and insightful answer to my regarding Frank O'Connor :)
I never knew who or whom conceived "The Halo" lol, I just know I've loved it right from the beginning. With that being said, I would like to address the more interpersonal part of the story, which I read five times.
I would like for you to know the following :
1. I do not work for, know anyone who works for, nor do I financially benefit in any way from Microsoft, 343 Industries, or BUNGIE.
2. I played the crap outta Halo Too much. But I had other things going on during the releases of Halo 2 , 3 , ODST , etc. and I set aside gaming for a bit. I bought xbox360 and LIVE early part of August, 2011, and have played every single day, through sore finger joints and friends and family who wonder where the fuck I went to.
3. I cannot imagine a day without playing Halo Reach now and I think it's become a problem (lol jk .. maybe)
4. I am going to the midnight release of Halo evolved at my local Game Stop, because it's already paid for. November 15, btw lol - and so your story of "the past" is somewhat similar to my story of the future (well, just the beginning of it I hope:) and so I want you to understand that I am right there with you, in the story and in my mind OK? with all that being said...

Hey - I would have done the same as you did quite Frankly (lol), taking the stuff back, ( I would've done it all huffy and puffy and shit), swearing off the game and being totally dismissive of the entire process - that is - if I didn't know this :
I 've talked to so many people who were "demoted" and the general feeling at first, I believe, is shock. Then anger. Then .... what ? It depends. Understand that the Reach engine isn't making a "standard rule" decision just for or because of you, it has these rules and guidelines built-in for everything from why & when a player is demoted to , as well as which player is teamed up with who (the engine knows who really sucks and who doesn't), as well as when a player gets a "jackpot" - the list goes on for how many hard and fast rules the engine has for everyone. I understand how one feels personally insulted when decisions/consequences are made forcefully for them, and without a chance for them to rebut the charges against them- just consequence, it SUCKS! and I am so very sorry that you were made to feel that way . Frank says he didnt know anything about it lol :))))
HERE IS THE BEST PART OF THIS LONG ASS RAMBLING COMMENT :
When you're demoted, it is like being young again, but this time you have to wisdom, the skills and the know how to be a deadly killer on Halo Reach... you see ? A "low rank" only brings in more "low ranks" for you to killy-kill :) Ya see ? It was a blessing, not a curse ! So if you decide my ramblings are worth you getting a used copy of REACH to see wtf is really goin on - HIT ME UP AND WE WILL RANK YOU UP.
peace my KillJoy

Lol. Thanks. I'm definitely getting Halo CE 10th Anniv. Already paid for. The first time I beat it will be on Legendary then I'll play it again on Easy to get the small Gs Achievements. But as for my demotion... I think I have 67% of my Commendations. Check me out on Bungie and also look at my rendered video "Brave Marine" in my fileshare.
