Template:Realworld Template:Ratings Luke Smith is a Bungie employee that is a community writer for Bungie.

He was originally a video game journalist, working at Kotaku and 1up.com[1], and was notable for writing a critical piece disparaging Halo 2. Later, he was accepted into Microsoft and Bungie Studios to be an interface between Bungie and the fan community in March 2007, and is believed to be the replacement for Kevin Paul.

Luke Smith is characterized as a highly competitive player by his colleagues, and one of the most skilled Halo 3 players in Bungie Studios, and is notable for his "frank, uncensored opinions".

His Bungie.net account is "lukems" and his gamertag is "TJ Scoot".

He's also has a negative opinion for fans questions, apparently. Recently, when asked "When you say there’s no new Elite Armor, why isn’t there honor guard armor, that is old armor, just add it in." Luke replied with "When I say there is no “new Elite Armor,” I mean there are no, and never will be new Elite Armor permutations or permutations of any kind in Halo 3 the interactive entertainment experience from Bungie Software Products Corporation." He tends to point out how he doesn't approve of the community having slight modded variations of maps, made by Bungie themselves, going as far as to write "this will NEVER be available to folks"

He is also the only Bungie staff not to wear Recon and the flaming helmet chest piece. As Brian Jarrard (A.K.A. ske7ch A.K.A. sketchfactor) jokingly quoted: "...too cool to wear the team uniform apparently."
