Hey, let’s do a little catch-up. It’s been a busy week (and yes, it really did just start). A few days ago, Gagnon 30 wrote an article looking at the “Halo Community” (it’s in quotes because in this context it’s pretty hard to define), and what they wa…

Rockslider has been playing around some more with that detached dropship turret – he’s getting pretty good with it! There are two new movies – one showing how to set up the detachment, the other looking at the technique from a variety of angles. Go wat…

FyreWulff pointed out that Activision is pulling all of Guitar Hero 3’s DLC off of Xbox LIVE at the end of this month – so if you want to download the Mjolnir Mix for that game, now’s the time to do it. It’ll be gone after Monday! (Louis Wu 21:35:38 UTC)

IGN sat down with Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Game Studios, to talk about developing a hypothetical Halo 2 Anniversary. Other than Spencer’s ‘subtle’ hint he doesn’t spill the beans, but he does talk about the importance of recreating Halo 2’s mul…

Major Nelson recently announced that Halo: Spartan Assault will be coming to Steam on April 4 for $4.99 – woah, I wasn’t expecting that! Check out the Halo: Spartan Assault Steam page for more details. Thanks, Nikko B201.(mastrbiggy 19:18:02 UTC)

Another Wednesday, another Halo Bulletin. This one recaps last week’s win over community pros, discusses upcoming playlist changes (in detail), lets you know that Halo: Escalation #4 is live (with a link to a preview, even), and shows you some very pre…

Catching up on some older stuff we let slip through the cracks – huge thanks to Revenant1988 and Snipe 316 for the B.org March Madness tournament, which was a lot of fun to play in. You can see the final results in this post – and you can watch the Fin…

Last weeks Bombcast had a segment on community and developer interaction and our little site and awesome community got a mention (starts at 27:05). What I want to know is who came up with a fictional explanation as to why Master Chief couldn’t original…

SIx min WHISTLE pointed out that Spartan Assault on Xbox 360 received a price drop – it is now $10. Seems like the Xbox One version is $10 too. Not bad!(mastrbiggy 18:13:50 UTC)

If you missed the livestream of the 343 Pro team vs the Community Pro Team, it’s up in its entirety on the official Xbox Twitch channel – all 2 hours of it. A recap of the players can be found on Waypoint’s website – and without spoiling anything, let …

Michael and Geoff look at people doing dumb things – we’re back to really early fail types, so if you haven’t watched for a while, it might feel familiar. (The guy who tried to save the hog on Settler was my favorite.) Watch it on AH.com or YouTube – t…

Cody Miller pointed out a new Halo speedrun that beats his last remaining record – The Maw, on Legendary. A tip of the hat from an early runner to a new leader! (It’s a killer run. Watch it.)(Louis Wu 18:02:17 UTC)

Leviathan ran into ONE, the artist behind some of Halo Waypoint’s early motion comics – and was treated so some early sketches of a UNSC Destroyer. Awesome!(Louis Wu 17:56:22 UTC)
