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.) (Louis Wu 21:36:10 UTC) (permalink)
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. Go read! (As always, it's available in our Halo Bulletin Archive, as well.)

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. (Louis Wu 21:25:20 UTC) (permalink)
Space Marine Masterful Chief and Captain AfroRyan uploaded the 1001 Spikes Space Marine Unlock video... it's pretty funny. (Again, this is an homage, not a ripoff.) Go watch! (Louis Wu 21:20:49 UTC) (permalink)

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. (They're not ALL Halo-related... but some are.) (Louis Wu 23:59:52 UTC) (permalink)
Fighting in a bowl 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!

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! (He calls them 'Halo Wars Uncaged', because he's removed a number of limits that blocked this sort of shot before.) Enjoy 'em! (Louis Wu 21:55:39 UTC) (permalink)
Some changes happen late Interesting... Gamecheat13 posted a tidbit of cut dialogue from the final level of Halo 3 - was Johnson supposed to come with us? Hmm... Thanks, gamerguy2002. (Louis Wu 21:43:39 UTC) (permalink)
A Bundle for US? Rooster Teeth's In The Know vlog points out that a Master Chief Collection Bundle (non-Halo-branded Xbox One, MCC) has been spotted in Japan - so will we see it here soon? Good bet! Thanks, asa. (Louis Wu 21:41:04 UTC) (permalink)

The Maid of Orleans Arithmomaniac has provided a whole passel of links for people interested in how Halo 4 (and future Halo titles) leverage the cloud to handle the data transfer needs of the game franchise.

The McDonalds of Shooters According to a newspost on Xbox.com, Halo has driven over 6 billion hours of gameplay on Xbox LIVE. That's a big number! (I have my doubts about the count... but I certainly don't have access to logs, so it could very well be accurate.) Thanks to gamerguy2002, who pointed out an article at Kotaku about it. (Louis Wu 22:52:55 UTC) (permalink)
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. Go watch. Thanks, gamerguy2002. (Louis Wu 20:55:16 UTC) (permalink)

That's-a big one! A side note in the day-one patch story is of interest to UK gamers: According to Halo Waypoint, the release date in the UK has been moved forward - the original November 14 is now November 11, same as in the US. Nice! (Thanks, Moorpheusl9.) Not so nice - Spartan Ops is being delayed for EVERYONE - until December. (Louis Wu 15:48:39 UTC) (permalink)
Hope you haven't filled your Xbone drive yet 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. (It's not even a patch - it's just the stuff they couldn't fit on a 45GB Blu-Ray.) On the plus side - that's an awful lot of content for your $60! Thanks, rhubarb. (Louis Wu 15:43:52 UTC) (permalink)

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)

The complexities of Halo 5's story The Xbox One Magazine (from the UK) had an interview with Mike Colter, the actor behind Agent Locke in the upcoming Nightfall - a redditor clipped a question or two in which Colter states that his character is the primary one in Halo 5. And that it's playable. (We've had other confirmation that the Master Chief will be playable, as well, so it's not an either-or thing.) Join Moorpheusl9's thread if you have a comment!

H2A Terms to help with Halo 5 It's been hinted at before, but it's nice to have it explicitly stated: recently 343's Dan Ayoub told Gamespot that the terminals that will be included in Halo 2 Anniversary will hint at story content from Halo 5. Great way to get new content into a game that will be presented in a historically accurate way! (Louis Wu 03:40:19 UTC) (permalink)
