    I had a huge wtf moment when I read this..

    Its an epic comic (or tragic) saga at this point... Not even counting the episodes from my time at Kaos.

    but free rad now is not what it once was, shit the free rad that worked on second sight weren't the guys who did time splitters.

    This is what many people fail to realise, the team that did Second Sight by and large had no hand in TS3, neither of those teams had much to do with Haze. At its peak there were three full dev teams of staff at FRD working on at least three AAA titles.

    When I joined Crytek UK, I was one of the first new, non ex-FRD people to join. I'd say a good 85%+ of the staff here worked at FRD and come from a myriad of the FRD projects and Rare projects. It's not like its going to be Haze 2.0 by the Haze team, because that was the last SP title the former studio shipped.

    Interesting. FRD was the first studio I ever interviewed with. I remember telling them how much I enjoyed TS series, and they thought that was unusual to hear from an American, since they were shifting towards a game with a more photorealistic feel. I realized afterwards they were hiring for Haze. I was disappointed I didn't get the job, but looking back I feel like I dodged a bullet!

    They were out in the suburbs back then, did they move closer to the city proper?

    When Crytek bought FRD, they moved us into a brand new open plan office in the city centre, rather than a bunch of buildings out in the middle of nowhere with the M1 for company.
