Max Hoberman, a.k.a. Yeroen, is a former employee of Bungie Studios and was a designer for many multiplayer features for Halo 2 and Halo 3, and map packs for Halo 2, Halo 3, and Halo: Reach.

Background[]
Born in 1978 in Austin, Texas, he grew up and pursued a career in photojournalism. He started at Bungie Studios in 1997, effectively ending that career before it began. He performed many jobs at Bungie, including graphic designer, web monkey, community team manager, UI designer, and was responsible for multiplayer, UI and Xbox Live design for Halo 2. Even though his departure was still during Halo 3's development process, he appeared in the final credits.
