I checked out the "meet the team" page recently and it seems that it has been updated to some degree. I noticed that Paul Bertone is no longer on that page under the Grizzled Ancients catergory; he was on that page not so long ago. This means that he has (most likely) left Bungie.

Paul was one of the designers for Halo: CE and design lead for Halo 2, Halo 3 and ODST. Good luck to him, wherever he decides to go next. Although I must say it's sad news that he left his studio after working there for so long.

Yes, yes it did.

The Meet the Team page hasn't been updated for some time.


Yea they update it pretty slow. I had no idea the dude left, I'm sure there's people out there who still don't know.

It is sad that he left, those were some great games.

Urk said that they are hiring former Pixar employees though, that is a good sign. Source.

Even though this did happen a while ago, I still wish that he was over there. Does anyone know if he moved to 343 Industries or somewhere else?

At what point did he exit Bungie? I searched the webs and the forums before making this thread and couldn't find any info on it. Must have been that damn twitter. I did check around to see where he may have decided to work next. No info on that either.

Yeah, we really don't get any information on situations like this. All I know is that it's been assumed that he no longer works at Bungie.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

More entrepreneurial work. He's the founder and CEO of a new company called Industrial Toys. It deals with mobile games.

If only...

Would have been nice though. He could've taken control of Bungie AeroSpace.

Hmm, mobile games. I sense a partnership with Bungie Aerospace.

Just for reference, the tweet said:At the rate we're hiring Pixar people, I fully expect Lasseter to come aboard sometime in late 2115. Ish.

I hope this isn't sarcastic or anything, because Pixar is one of my favorite companies out there, and they sure know how to put out quality work.

Hard to decipher anything Urk says. That's why he's a Jurk. They did hire some guy from Pixar, which means they've hired some people who worked at Pixar...and are continuing to hire?

That's true. Chris Butcher would just have to deal with his 50 cent bagel then. I still think it's worth it.

The person who said participating is important, not winning, obviously never won anything.

Where did he go?

ODST was a masterpiece if you ask me. Sad to see him go. Best of luck though, and with a resume like that im sure he'll be able to keep his career going if thats what he plans on doing.

You'd think he'd return to Bungie since you guys are off from Microsoft and Halo.

Wasn't Halo 2 one of the main reasons he left?

This is very sad and unfortunate news to hear... I probably ask them for a interview during Pax week. See if I can get hired or get fired :P

It's sad when someone who works for a company for a long time leaves, although if there's something Bungie is lacking it's not talented employees.
