GameSpot UK's Exclusive Interview with Jason Jones catches up with the Bungie Studios lead designer and co-founder at GameStock 2001. The conversation goes into pretty extensive detail about what to expect from the game, and covers some previously untouched upon subjects, such as the Q&A that follows describing the work they are putting into working with the Xbox controllers, since console controllers are not considered ideal for shooter games:

GSUK: The control system was obviously a concern, an FPS which uses a gamepad could seem totally alien to hardcore FPS PC fans?

JJ: You know, we really thought that was going to suck. Of all the reasons people gave in the beginning apart from Microsoft being the evil empire, etc., that was the number two reason, you know? "We're never going to be able to make it work, the controller will kill everything." I think we've gone a long way towards making it something that can really happen. We've got a bunch more user testing to go through and it was interesting to watch people play today. But I think we've already got a system that is totally functional for people that are pretty good at FPS and we just need to go all the way down to the total beginners. Personally I love the controller, I think it's great, it fits in my hand great, I love those two triggers, they feel so good, I really like it.
