Not much is known about Jason Jones, as he is a very private person who tends to shun the spotlight. At the same time, however, it is believed that he is generally a lighthearted, fun person. After Bungie Studios became an independent entity, in October 2007, it is unclear what his position is within the company. Jason Jones only appeared in the "Special Thanks" section of the Halo 3 credits and was not credited with any role in the actual development.
It was revealed on Bungie.net that in the final months of Halo 3's crunch all of the mission designers played through their levels in the company of Jason Jones. He then offered feedback and criticisms to help the designers with completing their missions.
Although no official announcements have been made by Bungie or Microsoft, Harold Ryan said in an interview with Game Informer that: "We're not saying alot about the project. There is a new game that [Bungie Co-Founder] Jason [Jones] has been working on for some time, off and on. It's a new IP from us that will be coming out after the next couple of years." This, along with another Harold Ryan interview has led many people to believe that Jason Jones is currently acting as Project Lead on another project within Bungie Studios. In Marathon 2: Durandal, he also played the role of Robert Blake in Terminal Pictures.
