4 months of live + 400 MSP for $15
Not sure how long this is going to last, but Best Buy currently has a pretty sweet deal – 4 months of Xbox LIVE Gold membership, plus 400 MS Points, for a total of $15. (This means you can get a year, plus 1200 points, for $45 – and those 1200 points would cost you $15 on their own.) Go grab ’em! Thanks, munky-058. (Louis Wu 21:21:43 UTC)

I Know a Guy Who Knows a Guy
gamerguy2002 dropped by the forum to share a picture that shows off a few logos of some unannounced and announced games. Among the logos is a Halo symbol with the number five in the middle as well as the recently announced Spartan Assault game – looks pretty fake to me. According to gamerguy2002, this picture was circulating BEFORE the announcement of Spartan Assault. I guess we’ll find out in a few days, for now this story gets the official rumor stamp.(mastrbiggy 19:20:34 UTC)

Halo IRL: Exit 117
Halo is a fictional universe. However, sometimes we catch sight of things in real life that remind us of our favorite science fiction video game franchise.

Waypoint Weekly Test Nights: 6.5.13
From AgentPaperCraft:
Hello, Waypoint goers! With the addition of community-made content into Matchmaking, custom maps and game types have become an integral part of Halo’s Multiplayer. Forgers and game type creators often work hours, days and even months on their content before it’s considered for Matchmaking, and it’s usually the lack of having a ready player-base to test their maps that it takes so long. So I offer an option to our Forgers, a place to bring your maps and game types to have them tested and reviewed by a group of the top Forgers around. You’ll receive top-notch forging tips and tricks to wow your players, improve map spawn and flow, provide a better map experience and get your name out there. You’ll also get to work directly with the Community Cartographers, a select group of community Forge enthusiasts who work with 343 Industries in the search of top-quality content for Matchmaking consideration. Every Wednesday night at 6PM ET, get an invite by sending “AgentPaperCraft” a message over Xbox LIVE, or leave a comment in the Test Night Thread.
Hope to see you there!

Podtacular 372: Assaulting Announcement
Download
Yesterday, Waypoint announced Halo: Spartan Assault, a new game built for the Windows 8 platform. Lots of speculation has been generated regarding the title on the basis that it is exclusive to Windows 8 PCs and mobile platforms. We have seen Halo do something similar in the past with Halo 2 Vista trying to promote a platform that is not being highly adopted by consumers. With fans already on the fence about 343 Industries ability to foster the Halo franchise, what does this title hold in the balance of the future of Halo? On a positive note, we will get to play as Spartan Palmer between the timelines of Halo 3 and Halo 4, giving us some back story into her time as a Spartan. Enjoy
