Bye Frankie, you shall be missed by us all! What will the podcast be now without your presence, and thank you and Bungie for making some of the greatest games of mankind!

Noooooo Frankie!!!!
You have to stop in occasionally to grace the weekly update and the podcast with your humor.
And whom is going to be making us laugh with Mister Cheifs?
Frank you're the best. Since you first joined up with Bnet and started the weekly update every Friday I'd sit down and LOL at your anticz.
Anywho, best of luck in your future endevors, and gg.

PS - Whens the next podcast coming out?

It to, Frankie?

It sucks that Frankie is leaving, but from whay he has said, perhaps it is for the greater good. It looks as if Frankie will be making sure other Halo-related projects won't suck, which is a good thing, as a good recipe can be ruined if other things that don't belong get in it. Good luck, Frankie, and I wish you good travels on the way.

But it looks as if Frankie gave us one last present before he boarded his Pelican set for MS Studios: some nice and juicy clues. For one, Frankie has revealed that Moon Base Alpha and Purple Reign have are going well. Also, Bungie's next project is fairing just as well. And that Bungie is making us candy....But what kind of candy does he speak of? I can only guess, but I could be wrong. Who knows?

But one thing is for certain: It's not that you didn't deserve us, Frankie. It's the other way around. We didn't deserve you.

Though I doubt this is the last of Frankie we'll hear.

I hate to see frankie leave us but your right , the next halo will most likely suck unless of course a few of the great minds of bungie either lend them help or go over to the developing team for that game. Its proof that bungie makes great games...I've not played a game as good as the Halo series since Metroid. I dont see M$ doint a great job with the next one...unless they do a great job promoting it and actualy see it through , unlike so many other M$ projects. Then I might think about buying it. If somthing Halo wont say bungie im not intrested.

the I AM LEGENDARY shop was by far the best. I lonved the grunt next to him and the banshees and hornets in the air. I wonder if they held this shop contest because they knew frankie was leaving?

Lol'ing the "I Am Legendary" poster because it makes Frankie look like he has a tiny head

thats bad news about frankie. i hope that they do a big blow out podcast with fohawks all round, plenty of beer and a 4 hour long interview with marty lol. frankie kind of fell out of my favour when he denounced his scottishness and embraced his americaness.........shame (nothing wrong with americaness though), but i'm past that now. i hope that he enjoys working for microsoft and i hope that he finds a bunch of work mates that are half a cool as the ones he has at bungie (doubtfull because he's going to microsoft lol). love ya frank

"Hunt as a pack, or die like a dog" -This is the Code of Wolves

This was great, lots of great photos! However, alot of people (including me) did not have photoshop. We could not realy compete with the paintshop programs we had to work with.

No im not complaining or anything,but I beleive there should be to catagories. One for those who have Photoshop, and One for those who have programs like paintshop. Paintshop is a real pain in the behind to get right. You have to erase the entire backround of another image and put on the other without messing the other up. Im sure you will be able to tell who has wich program to catch cheaters trying to make an easy win by entering the other catagorie.

I hope take this into consideration, it was just an idea I had. Well all that is left to say is Goodbye Frank, you and your shiny head will be missed....... :(

I'll always remember Frank's funny MC characterchers in OXM magazine around the Halo 2 release. Almost impossible expectations for that game including fantastical features that may or may not have made the cut were truly the impetus for O'Connor's memorable pics.

We will miss your experiences at Bungie only to make room for more shenanigans from Microsoft. God bless you! :'(

Goodbye Frankie! *Sadface*

"Oh you -blam!- camping whore!"
"It's a legitimate strategyyyyyyy!"

Frankie you will be truly missed! You made the forums great and just wanted to say reading your comments on weekly updates, no matter how slow the week or small the updates. Always gave me something to look forward to at the end of the week even if I had nothing else in my life to look forward to. Good luck with MS! This is a great move for the franchise we all love and will always consider Bungie's! As a huge Halo fan as well as Bungie fan I just want to say thanks for making sure the franchise will stay true and great. There are so many more stories I can't wait to hear about in the Halo universe! Best of luck!

P.S. I seriously do consider your job a dream job and if you ever need someone with a marketing background to work on the IP with ya, how can I get in at MS? Haha just thought I would ask. Werd.

Frankie's leaving...? Wow, I didn't see that one coming. Things won't feel the same with him gone from the Bungie family.

Good luck, Frank. I'll miss the joy and wit you bring to all your updates, posts and interviews. Hope to see you around.
