“Halo Creators Haven’t Disappeared”: Bungie Developer Responds to Player Criticism

Some fans of Bungie’s creations expressed discontent regarding the marketing phrase “from the creators of Halo” used for their new game, Marathon. Players raised doubts about the accuracy of this claim, speculating that the original team behind Halo had long since left the studio.

In response, project designer Elliot Gray took to his X (formerly Twitter) page, asserting that such assumptions are incorrect. He went further, presenting a substantial list of approximately 40 individuals who were involved in the development of Halo and continue their work at Bungie.

This list includes experienced studio veterans such as Chris Butcher, Jason Jones, Lars Bakken, Tyson Green, Mat Noguchi, Dave Gasca, and many others.
