awww goodbye Frankie.
you will truly be missed. =[
..but I'm glad you're leaving to take care of the Halo franchise with Microsoft. I know most people here would agree that a Halo game produced soley by Microsoft studios could possibly ruin the franchise....I'm happy that you will be there to put them in line and make sure it's done right!

Goodluck to you Frankie, you've been a great part of this community.

At first I started to cry, but then I saw that he was going to work more closely with Microsoft and Halo, then I was happy again.

I'll miss you Frankie.




I would rather have you stay at Bungie than have Recon :)

If cats land on their feet and toast lands butter-side-down, what happens if you strap a piece of toast to the back of a cat and drop it?

Wow, I can't believe Frankie is really leaving. If I weren't a rabid, testosterone-laden, halo-loving, man, I would cry right now.

Instead I will wish you best of luck O'Connor.

You're still gonna visit the forums, right?

Goodbye Frankie and Good luck with whatever you may do.

  • 05.16.2008 6:44 PM PDT

Will is everything.

My god....Frankie is going to be gone from the halls of Bungie Studios... I never saw this coming. Although it's heartening to see he will have a large hand in keeping Halo on track in the future...guys and gals it's bittersweet. All the best Mr. O'Connor; you've provided myself and the community with many laughs and great moments. You have my respect and best wishes. Godspeed.

I'm a serious dude, so what?

I cried a little inside when I saw the Mister Chief. Goodbye, Frankie, your antics will be missed.

:')

One day, I shall hone my talents and take a place within the candy store... until that day arrives, I will be known simply as:

Thank you for everything Frankie, I'm glad to here you're breaking off for a good reason though..to ensure Halo stays awesome! Hopefully we still hear from you regularly though.

BYE FRANKIE!

Phoenix is dead, long live Phoenix!
Is it?

Merci beaucoup pour votre travail frankie. Bonne chance.

  • 05.16.2008 6:50 PM PDT

I'm like a whisper in the wind.

Farewell Frankie, may the force be with you!
(Picture me crossing my fingers, hoping that Frankie doesn't happen to be a Trekkie)

By the way both the I am Legendary and the Franky Jones posters were amazing. I can not take their epic awesomeness away from my mind.

Goodbye Frankie.

Even though I almost never posted a comment on bungie.net I felt like this was an update that I had to comment on.

Dear Frankie,

Although I do not know you personally and probably never will, I would still like to express my sincere gratitude to you for the work that you have done on a truly inspiring and passionate part of my life.

It is people like you that have helped video gaming culture to become mainstream in our era. I don't know if you realize the profound effect you have had on millions of people across the globe. Some of them probably don't even play Halo, but Halo's huge success in every field has changed what interactive media and gaming is today, for everybody. Over the past 7 years since the original Halo was first released, the video game industry has grown by leaps and bounds. Halo played a vital role in this, and it created an unprecedentedly large online (and offline) society of gamers.
As technology improves and becomes more and more a vital part of our daily lives, much like the first television and radio had in the past, in a couple of decade's years time video gaming will be the most prevalent form of entertainment in human civilization.

And just as how the pioneers of the radio and television are recognized and remembered today, YOU, Frankie, along with the rest of the Bungie staff will be remembered for your important contribution to this natural development of human sociology, technology, entertainment, media and lifestyle.

When we think about all the things that Halo has done, uniting gamers, celebrating our hobby as a social group, and building a rock solid foundation of a community through Halo 2 on xbox live and bungie.net, it is people like Frankie that will be remembered and thanked for their dedication to allow us to experience the complete euphoria it is to play a game like Halo 3.

Frankie I cannot express enough my thanks and passion for everything that you are a part of regarding Bungie's operations of helping to create a genre of entertainment that millions across the globe are most passionate about, a mainstream presence in all forms of media.

I hope that you are happy and successful in your future plans at that you never, ever forget what you have done for us, a community of over 1 million people (and Bungie lovers).

Never forget the vital role you had in making what is a life passion for myself and millions of others, a mainstream thing.

And please never forget your fans. It is us who will make you realise exactly how much of a profound effect your actions have had, and have yet to come over the years.

Best wishes and kind regards,

Gurpreet Sandhu (London, U.K. - will be studying at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland! - You have done us proud my son!!!

By the way, the best Mister Chief in my opinion so far was the one in the Halo Graphic Novel! (Just thought you might like to know.)
