Last Chance For Gourd Cutting
Also in the Bulletin was the reminder that our 343 Guilt O' Lantern pumkin carving contest is coming to a close tonight - you have until midnight (Eastern) to get your entries in. The prize packages are fantastic... so don't miss out! (Louis Wu 21:39:15 UTC) (permalink)

Remaking the Legend - Watch Now!
As mentioned in the Bulletin, 'Remaking the Legend - Halo 2: Anniversary' is live now. You can watch it on Xbox Video on your Xbox One or 360 (search for 'Halo', or just click on the tile on the main screen), or on the web (thanks, Grizzlei and laird). It's a fantastic look at both the cultural phenomenon that was Halo 2, and the labor of love that updated this title for today's audience. Don't miss this. (It's free, so there's no excuse.)

Getting closer and closer to MCC
The Halo Bulletin that went live last night has some fun reading in it - unlockables and backgrounds in the Master Chief Collection, a reminder of the release of Remaking the Legend, the Halo 2 Anniversary documentary, rosters from the Launch Invitational taking place next weekend, more pies in the face, aids for your last-minute entry into our 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest (DO IT), and some cool screenshots.

Armor Unlocks for Halo 5 - in MCC
IGN has the lowdown on some Halo 5: Guardians armor that will unlock in the Beta with gameplay from the Master Chief Collection. (To get all four unlocks, you'll need to beat all four games on Legendary, and watch all five segments of Nightfall... all before the Beta starts in December.) Thanks, munky-058.

Carving Options
Totally missed this note from Black Six a few days ago - but there's still time! The deadline for our 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest is fast approaching (Friday night at Midnight, EST) - but you still have time to carve, and Xbox.com released some stencils which might help.

Rockslider has returned to the Rockslide Megabattle - he's got a new technique he calls the 'Inner Rise Defence' (and because it's his, I'll even use his spelling of 'defense'). Check it out! (Louis Wu 22:07:45 UTC) (permalink)

Scarab... SKULL?
Did you ever get a chance to play with the Scarab Gun in Halo 2? Looks like 343 has added a Scarab Skull to H2A... which turns EVERY gun into a Scarab Gun. You can watch what it looks like as Greenskull plays through - thanks, robofin117. (Louis Wu 22:03:11 UTC) (permalink)

Halo Wars Uncaged
kornman00 grabbed some pretty cool Halo Wars screenshots for someone, but the project never went anywhere. Their loss is your gain - go check these out!

According to a newspost on Xbox.com, Halo has driven over 6 billion hours of gameplay on Xbox LIVE. That's a big number!

The Elite Eight
The newest Halo Bulletin, published last night, discusses the MCC Launch Invitational (a pro tournament taking place in LA just before launch), reminds you to watch the Nightfall trailer (and lets you do so right from the page), previews Halo: Escalation #11, continues the new tradition of Canon Fodder, whereby Grim tells us all about the Halo storyline, and shows off screenshots of Exile. Whew! You can read it on Halo Waypoint, or you can read it in our Halo Bulletin Archive. Thanks to Grizzlei for the heads-up this week. (Louis Wu 22:43:23 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 4: Playable Cinematics
Funky! Gamecheat13 has managed to mod his way into the Halo 4 cutscenes as a playable character! (The Chief is still present... he's just moving around him.) Weird and creepy! It's unclear whether he can actually affect existing activity - as you could by, say, dropping a Banshee into the final AotCR cutscene, but it's wild how you can get up close and personal to parts that were only visible from a distance.

Kotaku explains why you'll either be pre-loading the Master Chief Collection (pre-loading for digital copies is available now, actually) or maybe not actually playing on Launch Day - there's a 20GB Day-One download coming.

A pun, on the forum? Oh, yeah, Grim's back.
GrimBrother One returned to our forum to announce the latest Halo Bulletin - good to see him around! It contains info about next week's reboot of Halo Waypoint, pics of the upcoming Halo-themed ASTRO A50s, details about the Halo-related content available at New York Comic-Con this week, and the continuation of his very own series - "Canon Fodder". This in-depth look at events in the Halo universe is a fantastic resource, both for newcomers to the extended universe and for folks already immersed - there's so much out there it's easy to forget details. (We're also making one small deviation from the original Bulletin in our local version, for the first time: it seems that the screenshots are no longer presented in both full and thumbnail versions in the Bulletin, you have to follow the Fileshare link and download if you want the big version now. For the time being, we're going to continue supplying both, to save you a bunch of extra clicking.) (Louis Wu 16:12:43 UTC) (permalink)
