Richard Pearsey Tasked with Game's Story

Red 5 has announced that the writer of Spec Ops: The Line has joined the Firefall team and will be heading up the development of the story line. 

Yet in spite of this wealth of resources, the task he is faced with is not a small one. His job: take the hundreds of pages of backstory and history that have been created for this game over the span of several years, by a variety of developers, and weave those details into a narrative that can support hundreds of hours of play and survive being cut into dozens of shreds compatible with being digested in short, MMO-style missions, playable in any order, at any time.
