black art of halo mods - credits

my current project is The Black Art of Halo Mods for Sams publishing.

when I started working on this project, I expected that I would be doing a lot more modding. however, for various reasons my role in this project has been mainly writing and editing. I'm working closely with another former microsoftie Patrick "PC" Chin on this project.

Big thanks go out to Patrick Chin, Grenadiac and Nick for their help with this project. The Prometheus team bent over backwards to get their stuff submitted, so I am tremendously grateful for their help. Other groups – such as the Halo2CE team – put in a bunch of effort. As Bungie likes to say, they will be rewarded copiously in the afterlife.

These modders contributed to the book and helped with technical accuracy:
