So, my buddy has always talked about how there was this guy named Ed Fries who had a whole lot to do with making Halo CE. I'm pretty sure he hasn't worked for Bungie for some time now, but I was wondering what role he played in creating the game. Anyone know who I'm talking about? I'll probably just check a search engine, but I was wondering what the community had to say.

Check in the manual for Halo CE in the credits, I'm positive his name is in there. I think its under the "Special Thanks To:" section. I know someone from Bungie would know what I'm talking about.

It's a cryptic reference to something Bungie-related. Shame on you if you don't get it.

Shame on you, it seems Ed Fries was like the head of Microsoft's Development for flight simulators to 1st person shooters like Halo, or something like that. Check the link:

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

If my memory serves me right i think he helped write the halo bible and has it in his posession or maybe that was Brannon Boren who assisted in some of the storyline and has it in his posession. I dont remember. Here is brannons website if you would like to check Brannon Boren Its right on the front page.
