Microsoft Is Hiring For The Next Halo Game

While Halo: Reach is Bungie’s last hurrah in the Halo universe, Microsoft’s 343 Industries is keeping the dream alive, with 15 new positions opening today for qualified individuals seeking to “be part of the awesome”.

The 343 Industries jobs page at Microsoft updated today with 15 new positions on top of the nine that were already posted last month, indicating that the team is gearing up to create the next big Halo title. Positions added today include concept, effects, environment, 3D, character artists, animators, sound designers, audio producers, mission designers, systems designers and several software development engineer positions.

It sounds like it’s a great time to hook up with a team that’s nearly guaranteed to create a game that will sell multiple millions of copies. I hear Seattle is lovely this time of year.

      aww to make you feel better, a lot of people missed the Reach BETA. You’re not alone.

      I, however, didn’t and it’s freaking awesome!!!! You missed out.
