Creative Director Leaves Halo 4

4.7
Ryan Payton was the Creative Director for Halo 4, but recently quit the project and 343, detailing the game as a "crazy endeavour". Payton has been tasked with heading up the creative team at 343 Industries and creating the new fiction for the highly anticipated sequel to the popular Halo franchise.

In a recent interview, Payton spoke on several reasons why he 343 which ranged from "being drained" to having "severe depression".

"I never thought I'd get to the point where I was so drained," Payton said. "I think time is the most valuable thing we have and I've decided that I'm not going to waste one more day working on something that doesn't speak to my values."

Halo 4 was revealed earlier this year at E3 2011 and is scheduled for a 2012 launch.

Ok Bungie was a fantastic halo producer company thay came out with Halo 3, I consider the best, Halo Reach and ODST plus so much more. So let's notnget down on Bungie for leaving halo. Let's celebrate the great things that they've made and be happy for them. On the other hand things will be different in Halo 4 the story line might be a little off. The new creator hopefully will make us and bungie proud by putting there new creative spin on Halo. Therefore thank you Bungie for this wonderful series. And I can't wait to see what's next.
