In case you haven’t seen, the Bungie Weekly Update is up and out for your joyful perusal. Go give it a read! No, you won’t find any information on that, but you will find some AWESOME Sangheili shots, some clarification on their (misinterpreted) ToyFair appearance, and a ridiculously fun SkeeBall gametype (yes, skeeball). If you…

FyreWulff let us know that this week’s challenge at Fire Team Zulu is a romp through Exodus – with no human assets. (No human vehicles, no human weapons, no radar.) Sounds like fun!(Louis Wu 14:05:45 UTC)

Not really Halo-related, but cool nonetheless – Andrew Matecha, a long-time fan, has remixed ‘Splash’, a song from Bungie’s Marathon soundtrack, and set it to a slideshow of Marathon screenshots and art. Triggers all sorts of memories!(Louis Wu 14:02:2…

A quick reminder – if you’ve got Halo news for us, it should be sent to our public email, halo@bungie.org, not a personal address. This is relevant right now because I’ll be awa…

Rockslider wasn’t content with using a Gold Elite to help him off the first bridge on Assault on the Control Room – he decided to see if a Hunter would give him a hand. (Well, a fuel rod gun.) Looks like the answer is ‘yes’!(Louis Wu 16:33:38 UTC)

What is this I don’t even (thanks, I think, wwm0nkey)(Louis Wu 14:19:21 UTC)

FyreWulff took time out to note some fascinating observations about the new ‘Bro Slayer’ gametype that is up in Matchmaking right now. The possibilities are rich! Go read.(Louis Wu 14:16:20 UTC)

The latest Achievement HORSE features a whole swath of maps from our very own pete_the_duck – and I get the feeling that Geoff might not ever want to play a pete_the_duck map again… (honestly, though, they look like a blast!)(Louis Wu 14:10:51 UTC)

If you’ve been around for a while, the name ‘Fire Team Charlie’ might mean something to you. (If it doesn’t… you missed a great time in Halo history.) BennyFortman stopped by last night to announce that they’re back – with a trailer for Fort Team Ch…
