No, 343 guilty spark was the AI that guarded the Halo ring in Combat Evolved, it nearly fooled Master Chief into activating the Halo array, which would destroy all biologic life, I am not sure if he was in Halo 3 as I haven't played it in a while, and it wasn't as memorable for me in terms of storyline as 1 and 2.

storyline maybe but the game style was better. Was much easier imo to play

P.S With a little bit of research here is what I gleaned so far in regards to 343 industries staff;

"First Frank O'Connor, he was the brain and soul of the Halo CE and Halo 2. He oversees the fiction and story elements. Other people have moved to 343 Industries from Bungie. There's a reason why Bungie and 343 Industries are close friends.

There's then Corrine Yu. She is very well known in the gaming industry as the female version of John Carmack in Engine Archetic or in other words very smart graphics maker. She also consults Nvidea for their chips design. That says something about how smart she is. Research her you will be suprised.

There have been some top people from Gearbox have moved over. They of coursed worked on Borderlands, Brothers in Arms, etc.

20 people from Pandemic Studios are now employed at 343 Industries.

The co-producer of metal gear solid 4 is over at 343 Industries."

"The team's name is a reference to 343 Guilty Spark, the Forerunner Monitor of Installation 04."

Yeah I was right x)

I agree with most above, 2013 for the next BIG Halo, but a Halo CE remake this xmas on an enhanced Reach engine.
