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.

Craigyy Paid to play a game, what a dream job aye?

HIRE ME...


I second that! :)

That'd be the life aha


I Would love to have that job but too bad its hard to get into that kind of job.


It definitely does not pay very well though.
47,000 plus expenses of your equipment and internet service. Damn good if you ask me. My neighbor a few houses down is a dev ops system engineer and tester. He comes home every few months for about a week. That means hardly any bills and great pay. Only one thing he said is bad is its not "attractive" to the women. (Strait from his mouth.)

Wish I can't wait for the new Halo game! Maybe with the feedback from these pro players they can make the games even better :D


I think they're going to be Beta testers, hopefully we do see something from them.


I'm not sure they'll be allowed to release game play.

You'd be surprised, you wouldn't move to a new life for crap pay, and technology companies are known for paying high and having good standards, such as google.
