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.

It really cool to be so good at a game that the devolping company hires you. I am sure he will come up with some great ideas and I am sure he is in heaven getting to test and play with the new Halo's before them come out.

I've never heard of him, but it sounds like he is about to make some pretty big bank.

MoBo Why hire someone that is good at the game? He might know absolutely nothing about game designing


But they know what modes, battle plans and gameplay should be a big asset.

Although I don't like the game, imagine how happy you would be to get employed with your favorite game! Mine would be Capcom, although they're japanese so..
