You’re a busy person, and we have a thing for releasing as much Halo-related content our multi-fingered appendages can handle. That means—assuming you aren’t a speed reading super-soldier—you probably missed a few stories along the way. Not only do we forgive you, but we’ll also happily provide a convenient weekly wrap-up of absolutely everything we covered during the last seven days. Don’t worry about saying thank you. We’d rather you spend that time soaking in the goodness that is this entertaining collection of articles. Off you go!

Driving up a Mountain – A Halo: Anniversary Trick

Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a Spartan and his two little friends. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!

“Grifball got way stranger after the Title Update.” –Fartz McPoo
“The amount of team kills for Spartans skyrocketed after the UNSC started including Mini-Spartan Advisors.” –ArchedParasite
“The pre-alpha screenshot of the new controllable vehicle in Halo 4 did not meet expectations.” –TheSarge007
“The good, the bad, and the deadly.” –GeoNeo2582
“That day, Bob had to make the decision to shoot the wild Elite or hug him.” –Last Promethean
“Keep your head down, there’s three of us in here now.” –l0kin142
“And FFA was forever changed after the addition of Super Mushrooms.” –WaryGnu1
“Upset about not getting an AI, Spartan-438 attached action figures to his armor and pretended.” –Tyler C Barnes
“The tragedy of good vs evi… I mean Red vs. Blue.” –Thomas Barbaritz

Now that we’ve wrapped up that picture, let’s start a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is an image featuring a rather puzzling scene. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

The Winter Mythic Recon Challenge is about to enter its seventh week. The challenge that lies ahead of you? ONI: Sword Base on Mythic Difficulty!

The rules are fairly simple. Load up the mission, make sure your settings are on Solo Legendary, switch on ALL 13 skulls (both Gold and Silver), and also turn on FFA scoring. When you complete the mission successfully, upload the film to your File Share, and send me a tweet on Twitter with the hashtag #wmrcentry7 along with a hyperlink to your film. Don’t worry about tagging the saved film. Simply put “Mythic Difficulty” somewhere in the film’s description, and that will suffice.

Just a few other tidbits of information for you to keep in mind:

1) You must have an Xbox LIVE Gold subscription.
2) You must have your XBL gamertag linked to your Bungie.net profile.
3) The mission must be completed while you are online and during the seven-day contest period. Make sure you can view it in your Game History.
4) The mission must be completed in one setting. No save/quit abusing! Only Solo Mythic rules apply here (Legendary, all skulls active, FFA scoring).
5) If you die, you must exit and reload the mission. This generates a ‘clean’ carnage report for the film.
6) Only one submission is allowed per person, per challenge.
7) You must submit your entry during the seven-day contest time period.

This contest begins 12:00 AM Pacific Time on Friday, 3/23/2012, and lasts for seven days. This gives you all day Friday, an entire weekend, plus four additional weekdays to complete the mission. The winner, who will instantly receive four free months of Xbox Live Gold and later will receive some very cool special prizes from 343 Industries in the mail (forwarded by The Tyrant!), will be notified the following weekend.

If you need assistance, both HBO and Halo Waypoint are here to help with the coveted Halo: Reach Mythic Difficulty Guide as well as the newer LASO Challenge Guide. Both of these enriched guides can also be found on MythicTyrant.com. Thanks for participating, and as always, we’ll see you on the battlefield!
