Tyson Green

Work

He has worked on ever single title that Bungie Studios has produced since the game Myth II: Chimera was developed. He played a major role in developing the campaign of Halo: Combat Evolved and the multiplayer sides of Halo 2, Halo 3, and the upcoming title Halo: Reach.

As for his style and mentality, Tyson has a strong understanding of how to create games that cater not only to hardcore gamers but also casual gamers. In an interview around the release of Halo 2 Tyson said this:

"Fundamentally, know thy audience. Is your target broad appeal and a casual audience? Then level out your learning curve, beware of unnecessary complexity, and keep the required time investment short. If you're comfortable targeting a more hardcore audience, then you can make your learning curve steeper, and add some complexity to the game that gives it longevity. But when you design a game for the hardcore, but try to pass it off to casual gamers, it's a disaster! The casual gamers don't want to play an hour long game, and the hardcore players resent the dumbing down" -Tyson Green

This ideology helped to make Halo 2 and its successors some of the most widely played games that modern consoles have to offer.
