Fear the Red Comet

Variety is the spice of life.
Long live games.

I'll miss ya Frankie. You were always kinda the face of Bungie, or were at least always mentioned.

I'm sure the writing for the new Bungie game will be spectacular, and I can't wait to hear more details. Best of luck to you. Same for Luke, assuming he's stepping up to take your place.

"And when I vest my flashing sword And my hand takes hold in judgment I will take vengeance upon mine enemies And I will repay those who hase me O Lord, raise me to Thy right hand And count me among Thy saints ."

I just wanted to say good luck and so long to Frankie. You will be missed.

How I got mine: Frank Helsing

OMG!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH, THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!
I' m honored that Bungie thought my submition was Recon worthy and thank you everyone who supported it as well. I am going to miss Frankie a lot but hopefully he will keep in touch every now and then. Who are we going to Photoshop now?! J/K Frankie, that really sucks you're leaving though but you're on to better things... and more money :D.... goodbye Frankie, and thanks again for the Recon, the best parting gift anyone could have.

Sincerely,
x Awal x

U no wat its kinda sad 2 c Frank O'Connor leave.

Its kinda like a realationship with a women it has to end sometime, but i didn't expect it to be like this.

Halo 1, and 2, gave me times i will remember for the rest of my life. It wasn't just the game. it brought people together, whether you knew them in the real world not. I've developed friendshihps with people, who i also won't e forgetting any time soon over Xbox live.

any long time fan of Bungie, will be dissapointed after reading this update.... at least i am, thats being honest.

Frankie shall be missed. Thank you, Frankie, for the hundreds of times you made me laugh hysterically through your random comments on the forums, or the Weekly Update. Good luck, and may the force be with you. Lol.

And yes, this Update was kind of depressing seeing the crazy Bungie staff member we have come to know and laugh at go.

were it so easy...

Frankie! Come back Frankie!

Wow can't believe you are leaving Frankie. I know I usually don't post too much, but I just had to on this momentous occasion. I just wanted to let you know you were what always kept me coming to the site(not to mention the other cool stuff). Your wit and witticism in the updates always made me laugh, and the shenanigans that ensued anytime there was a bald joke always gave me a chuckle. It is a sad day that I know I won't be able to come to the Bungie website anymore and be able to enjoy your clever antics, but alas I know that the current team here at Bungie will be doing a smashing job. You always did a great job being there for the community whether it was here or over at HBO or wherever and I think that says a lot about how very dedicated you were to the community. Thanks a lot Frankie for being such a cool guy, and really, in my mind at least, representing what I think is the true spirit at Bungie. It really won't be the same without you. Good luck!

Exalted is considered "the highest" because you can't get any bans or warnings of any kind for quite a long time, which is harder than just being a member for a long time.

Frankie!

Where are you going?

What are you doing?

Are you leaving at the pinnacle? Are you sure you're ready to go?
Trust me, I'm not being cynical, I think you'd be better off saying no.
Don't leave, we'll beg.
Did you see the poster with a million of your heads?
We did all that before, we ever knew you were no more.
Imagine the crap that we'll pull to keep you around,
Mister Chief is too cool to stop seeing him now.
It was sad enough when you stopped doing the update (No offense Luke)
Imagine how we'll cry if you're not here to keep us up late
reading your jokes, and the 'Gradient' post.
You'll be missed by all, or at least by most.

Nothing but Love,

XMixMasterX

Here's to Frankie!!!! Hip Hip Hooray!!

Good luck Luke - we like you too, but you have big shoes to fill.

I do not appreciate B.Net Group solicitation. If you ignore this and send me an invitation anyway, I will block communications with you.

If anything, I'm glad that Frankie is moving on to continue work on the Halo franchise with Microsoft. As much a skeptic as anyone else, I was certainly worried how "true to the bible" their project(s) would continue out of Bungie's hands.

Think of this way though. Now, every time you see Frankie, it'll be an occasion to throw massive parties. If this was already a tradition, even massiver parties!

Goodbye Frankie, you will truly be missed.
