You just owned yourself. The developer your putting down, is very widely thought of at GDC. In other words he knows his stuff. :)

 

Link? Because I found that he worked on netcode and on weapon design in Ubisoft's GRAW and as lead designer for gameplay in Bungie. Nothing near the graphics or AI engine. Did he present a talk at GDC?

Yes he's well known to devs. Yes he has had a keynote developer speech a few times at GDC. EG:

Also Christian Allen was chosen to accept the BAFTA for GOTY Ghost Recon.

And his background.

I started at AI back when it was one of the few game-focused Bachelors programs, and in fact I got hired before I completed my degree, based on my mod work.  It was only after I was working in the industry before I went back and completed my B.S. with AI in Game Art & Design.  Also, I had a good work background with the government and the military when I decided to move into game development.
