Elites and Beam Rifles, yup…
LegendaryKRy found a neat little secret on the level “Requiem” where you go up against eight Beam Rifle wielding Elites. EIGHT!

Please vote!
We’ve run a pumpkin-carving contest for 7 of the past 8 years… and we’ve always let the fans decide which pumpkins win prizes. This year, the turnout is low – way low. Not sure if that’s due to the fact that we skipped last year, or if folks just don’t have time to look through a few dozen pumpkins, or what… but the prize pool this year is huge, and I’d be saddened if we didn’t take full advantage of the Halo community in figuring out how to distribute it. Please vote!(Louis Wu 20:50:11 UTC)
