{{Quote|Obviously this is a big change for our team and we are going to miss having Kenneth here in the building with us. Ken is a founding member of 343 Industries and working with him on Halo 4 was one of the highlights of my career. He was my creative partner and brother-in-arms for many years, and through his vision we managed to establish a bold new look for the Halo universe. He was also instrumental in building the amazing team of artists that we have here at 343 today.|[[Josh Holmes]], on Kenneth Scott's legacy as Senior Art Director.<ref>[https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/news/new-year-s-revolutions-a-bite-sized-peek-behind-the-curtain '''Halo Waypoint''', ''NEW YEAR'S REVOLUTIONS: A BITE-SIZED PEEK BEHIND THE CURTAIN'']</ref>}}
