Pro Halo player hired by 343 Industries

4.8
Professional Halo player Eric "GH057ayame" Hewitt, pictured on the right, is now employed at 343 Industries. Over the weekend, Hewitt tweeted an image of a boarding pass showing he was headed for Seattle and changed his Twitter account bio, revealing his new gig.

Hewitt joins former professional players Mason "Neighbor" Cobb and Sean "Dersky" Swidersky, who were both brought on late last year. Hewitt is best known for creating the Team Throwdown competitive playlist in Halo 4 and previously fought for Team Carbon.

343 is currently working on the next Halo game, due to launch this year on Xbox One. At E3, 343 Industries General Manager Bonnie Ross said it would run at 60 frames per second, utilize dedicated servers and benefit from Microsoft's cloud computing infrastructure.

Sorry, but it is. :(


Halo 5 will hopefully make people come back, only if 343 can get it right on the next gen!


I hope Halo 5 does good, It's what they need, and what we need.


Same here, I haven't really enjoy a Halo game since Halo 3. Only reason I liked Reach was for Forge mode.

Mold Personally I think this is pretty cool! I'm a huge halo fan been playing forever!! But I mean I don't like the "pro-scene" of Halo to much!


Yeah same, I don't care what the critics say, I thought Halo 4 was pretty damn solid game.
