Old, new, and Halo 2
The details continue to pour out about the Master Chief collection – as I said to a number of 343 employees yesterday, it looks like I’ll be buying an Xbox One sooner than I expected. If you’re excited about the details, jump into the conversations on our forum – lots of the little tidbits have been collected by various forumgoers. Some great stuff from the horse’s mouth, though, can be found in this IGN Interview with Frank O’Connor and Dan Ayoub (thanks, Kal). Go watch!(Louis Wu 17:00:57 UTC)

New Beginnings
A good mix of both gameplay and some additional story in Bungie’s “New Beginnings” trailer for E3 2014.
Also the first time I think I’ve seen it explicitly stated (by Peter Dinklage’s voiceover here) what I’ve suspected for awhile here– that the Traveler was the cause of both humanity’s lost golden age and its downfall, and the enemies we face are the enemies of the Traveler, not necessarily the enemies of humanity.
Still, that might not ever become relevant, but it is something I’ve been thinking about for awhile.

We have an extra eight letters to play with and with E3 next week – we think you might want them. If you’re not already following us, it’s a great time to start. We’ll be tweeting live from E3 2014 all next week, with behind the scenes pictures, videos, and more.
Halo Waypoint
Next week, we’ll have some E3-themed goodies and happenings here on Waypoint – be sure to swing by throughout the week to keep up with everything that’s going on from the show floor, including updates, photos and videos, and more. There won’t be a regular Halo Bulletin next week, and we’ll instead have live coverage from LA. Don’t miss it.
