    From Alex:

    This is Chao’s final Halo: Reach montage, edited by himself. There’s pretty much no editing whatsoever, but the gameplay is quite good, showcasing a ton of nice Multikills. Enjoy!

    This week’s Bulletin will be published on Thursday instead of Wednesday. Yes, there’s a reason. And this time, it’s not because I forgot to look at my calendar, either!

    Warning: Late news is small. I mean small news is late. I mean… well, both statements are accurate, so I’ll just leave it at that. Until then….

    From crazedone1988:

    I thought of this video while listening to the Justice League Unlimited intro theme. Six founding members of the League, six members of Noble, it just fit! I also threw in a few easter eggs; bonus points to those who find them!

    It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Bryan Simon, but Halo 4 has re-excited him, and he’s got a new musical parody for you. Sorry For Armor Locking is some pretty funny stuff! Thanks, CyReN.(Louis Wu 14:21:23 UTC)

    I definitely have to question Sawnose’s timing… but I tip my hat to his attitude. Over on Bungie.net, he posted a tutorial showing how you can keep your Reach player model updated on Bungie.net, even though Bungie no longer has access to any of the back-end data. They’ve put in a tool that will allow you to MANUALLY update to your current model – now THAT’S fan love! (The Bungie.net version is higher-res than the 343 version, and has your Spartan holding a DMR instead of an AR. In addition, the B.net model has the potential to be downloaded as a rotating video, though I haven’t been able to test that yet, since it requires seeing the updated avatar first, and I’m still waiting – on both B.net and Waypoint.) Go read his post for full details! Thanks to bobs99 over at NeoGAF for noticing.(Gen Vagueness 16:58:23 UTC)

    uberfoop played some Halo 3 yesterday. He made a 4-minute clip from a Social Big Team CTF game on Standoff. For nearly 3 minutes, the flag (and the action) remains in a 20-foot radius… and yet the entire clip is eminently watchable. Makes me want to jump back into Halo 3!(Louis Wu 16:14:30 UTC)

    If you enjoy watching pro Halo events, but don’t have the money for MLG VoD, swing by Halo Waypoint this morning – the Winners Bracket Finals from MLG Anaheim last year are now available (all three games). Watch Status Quo take on Instinct! (This championship matchup was revisited in Columbus last week, with somewhat different results.)(Louis Wu 15:58:25 UTC)
