Ryan Payton leaves the Halo 4 Team
Crab noticed an article at Kotaku discussing the departure of Ryan Payton from the Halo 4 team - it sounds like he wanted to head off in a pretty radical direction, and couldn't sell this to the rest of the team. (IGN did a fine job of completely misinterpreting his statements; the subheader for their version of the story reads 'Ryan Payton leaves 343 Industries, saying the game had become a "crazy endeavour".' This is EXACTLY opposite to what Payton actually said, which was his idea of building a fundamentally different Halo was a crazy endeavor, and because he hadn't built enough credibility to see this through, he felt that leaving was a better choice.) It's definitely a big shift - but it sounds positive, for both sides.
