On Friday, Halo Waypoint highlighted a 7-foot-long model of the Spirit of Fire, created entirely out of Halo Mega Bloks. Very cool! (Compare it to the 7-foot Spirit of Fire we mentioned a month ago… made of LEGOs.)(Louis Wu 17:59:17 UTC)

We got a pretty funny email from Tim ‘343 Guilty Spark’ Dadabo this morning – guess what he found at the market?

Here’s hoping he doesn’t destroy them all!(Louis Wu 17:19:11 UTC)

Jack and Geoff are back for Fails of the Weak 180 (that’s a lot of FotW episodes!) – you can watch it on AH.com or YouTube, as always. My favorite this week – the massive Red Death on Exile. Both Jack and Geoff saw the slaughter coming when 6 Reds got together in a narrow hallway – both seemed to miss the fact that death did not come from a Blue, but from the Red in the middle with a rocket launcher. It’s not just a one-shot Killtrocity – it’s a one-shot Killtrocity betrayal. Wonga! Thanks, Nikko B201. (Louis Wu 17:17:07 UTC)

The Tyrant pointed us towards the latest Women of Xbox video – Ceulex gets her hands on Halo 4 for the first time, and reviews it. Better late than never, right? Go watch! (Louis Wu 17:12:47 UTC)

We’re currently in a little bit of a low point for news this week and until more rumors surface, if any, we won’t get much until the time E3 rolls around. Not to worry though as we this week’s Halo Bulletin to review and discuss. He have a new issue of Halo Escalation, updates coming to matchmaking next week, and the announcement that the Halo Waypoint mobile applications being discontinued. Also, for those who have been involved with the PC side of Halo, the Custom Map Team as come out with their V3 of their remastered Halo Campaign for The Silent Cartographer.

Wondering when you’ll get OFFICIAL word about what’s coming next from 343 studios? Phil Spencer tweeted to a fan that news would be coming to E3:

@MarvelousJoJo Halo news will be coming at E3. 343i has a great plan in place, will be cool to share with everyone.
