Oh fuck off. Halo 3 was a good game. A disappointing story mode(Halo 2 was alot better), but still a solid game for people who wanted more Halo.

It could also mean they are working on the port of halo 3 to PC.
Halo 4 by Gearbox..um I dig it.

I wish they would have kept something like this a better secret. Halo needs a bigger break from the spotlight. Plus weren't they talking about departing from the Halo series in favor of remaking older titles?

No doubt Corrinne is smart and has a strong math and engineering background... but what has she actually shipped/produced? Not much...

...your point being?
Infinity Ward ONLY made three games(which were pretty much clones, mind you.) and we all still love these guys.
Having a new member of staff who used to work at a different dev is always a good thing. Fresh ideas = WIN!

Understand that women in this industry rarely 'make it' on skill. The ones who are in the headlines are always attractive, and always got there based on their looks & personality. And before you say "That's insulting!", understand it's because the guys in the video game industry become retards around moderately attractive women.

Point is that this isn't really news and tracking where Corrinne Yu works is meaningless. Why not pick any of the other dozens of new hires that MS has? You know, people who have shipped and worked on meaningful titles?
"Having a new member of staff who used to work at a different dev is always a good thing."
Not sure I follow this at all. New hires are always good things? Why? Plenty of new hires don't mesh/work out, even ones that have proven themselves in the past with other teams don't always translate into success for new teams.
Not sayings its bad or trying to shit on Corrinne... its just... why the big deal? I think we all know...

As big or bigger news is that Kenneth Scott, longtime Art Director of id software (and husband of Corrinne) also accepted a position with Microsoft. A package deal of sorts, details beyond that are sketchy though.

If Microsoft hands it off to someone other than Bungie, I'll still play it, but less enthusiastically. Take THAT, corporate overlords!
