 Ah, [[http://www.geekwire.com/2014/joseph-staten-returns-microsoft/ here's the proof]]. Hopefully we'll hear his Grunty voice again.

+:Interesting how that article presents a slightly different version of the Microsoft rep quote seen [http://www.polygon.com/2014/1/9/5293310/former-bungie-bigwig-joe-staten-returns-to-microsoft here]. The rest of it's the same, but the Polygon one adds the claim that ''"Joseph is not working directly on the next Halo title."''. Still, note the careful wording - he doesn't say Staten won't be involved with Halo at all, just that he's not ''directly'' working on the ''next game''. Given his job description, though, it seems he'll be to MS Studios what Frankie is to 343, steering the ship, so to speak, and acting as the studio's public face instead of getting heavily involved in the development of individual IPs. Still, I'm just as hopeful he'll be able to lend his talent to the Grunts again. ''Halo 4'''s beastly gibberish-speaking cave troll Grunts got nothing on good ol' Staten. Maybe with Mr. "Doom III" Scott stepping down as Art Director we'll get to see some humor and elegance in Covenant designs again. That's one other thing that makes me hopeful - ''Halo 4''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s aesthetics were a massive letdown to me, but with the changes of Creative and Art Directors, it could be that the next game will have a less generic visual style. --[[User:Jugus|<font color="MidnightBlue"><b>Jugus</b></font>]] <small>([[User talk:Jugus|<font color="Gray">Talk</font>]] | [[Special:Contributions/Jugus|<font color="Gray">Contribs</font>]])</small> 01:39, 13 January 2014 (EST)
