Computron reminds you that today is the last purchase Bungie Pro; if you don’t have it, but would like access to 24 slots and 5 minutes/month, buy it now. (If you HAVE it, they will not be disabling any features for accounts that expire after today, so there’s no need to RENEW unless today’s your expiration date.) (Louis Wu 21:03:52 UTC)

New videos you may have missed – IGN’s got a look at Headlong, and nillapuddin found a video showing off the beginnings of the Jenkins headcam cutscene from 343 Guilty Spark. Nice!(Louis Wu 20:48:28 UTC)

TheOddOne, over at NeoGAF, found a small tidbit at OXM UK – Frank O’Connor talks about some of the things the Call of Duty series does well, and what might be learned from that. It’s an interesting look into the mind of someone helping to shape where the Halo franchise is going!(Louis Wu 20:20:01 UTC)

In addition to the Headlong (sorry, Breakneck) reveal, 343 has also released a few screenshots from the remastered Pillar of Autumn – you get a great look at the new Master Chief. Thanks to Moorpheusl9 for posting this on our forum.(Louis Wu 20:17:24 UTC)

We got an early treat today as bs angel kindly lets us know that… Headlong is BACK!  Many of you requested it and I think everyone will be happy with the decision.  There are some pretty nice screenshots of Breakneck, and it looks like you’ll be seeing a familiar friend.  On a side note, the rest of the Bulletin addresses what we can expect for the beta hoppers to test out the new TU.  The playlist specifics can be found there, but a couple of important dates: September 21st – TU rolls out; October 4th – Playlists roll out.  Make sure you go give it a read.

Goose Checka sent word that GrifballHub is hosting a week-long birthday celebration for Halo: Reach – new events every night! Festivities begin tonight with a racing event, and the first of three one-night tournaments – details are in the article. Play in ANY of these events, and you’ll be entered to win a Grifball Athletic shirt signed by the Rooster Teeth staff! Not too shabby.(Louis Wu 15:06:05 UTC)

GregO’Connor-Read was the first to point out that the second half of Marty O’Donnell’s interview with Minnesota Public Radio’s Emily Reese is now online – you can find it on the interview page (it’s in the right column, under ‘Audio’). Once again, it’s worth listening to.(Louis Wu 13:25:02 UTC)

In case you couldn’t guess, Halo Anniversary will be at GAMEfest in the UK this weekend – you can see the logo on the Exhibitors page. Thanks, Nomis78.(Louis Wu 12:53:46 UTC)

HC Redemption let us know that HaloCharts has just created and published an extended rank set for players to earn on their site. It’s similar to what they did for Halo 3; it gives you goals to strive for outside the in-game ranks and the cR system. You can find the new listing on their website… go see where you stand! (There are ranks for overall gameplay, as well as per-playlist ranks. Man… these are hard!)(Louis Wu 23:33:10 UTC)
