343 Industries Hires Professional Halo Player Eric Hewitt.
 
"Hewitt, aka "GH057ayame", has joined the studio at a yet to be revealed capacity. Hewitt previously competed in professional gaming events with Team Carbon."
 
"Though Hewitt has never worked on the Halo franchise in an official sense, his credentials include assisting the Halo 4 Global Championship and helping create the settings for Halo 4's official competitive playlist." (he made Team Throwdown)

Was this move made to help give Halo (insert name here) a classic type of MP, or only to help with the overall multiplayer?

 

Here's a video of his team playing MLG Halo 2 back in the day:

This makes me happy that 343i is doing this and gives me faith in 343i but also makes me a bit upset because 343i should have done this from the start then Halo 4 would have been a much better game ( more comptive )

This news is one of a few recent events that have come to light that are restoring my faith in Halo 5's upcoming multiplayer.

 

Competitive players will outright tell you what went wrong in Halo 4, I was one myself (I won nearly $1k over the course of 3 years at local tournaments, in addition to getting my $120 copy of Reach for free from one such tourney) 

 

Forgive me for bragging, I'm still proud of myself.

 

Anyway, what makes a good shooter is a good competition. I sincerely hope they can get back to Halo's roots and make something truly worthy of betting on.

if 343 hires these people knowing that halo 5 will be a casual game would be stupid i hope to god that there is a competitive playlist
