Despite the headline, Jack and Ray face off in a game of Achievement PIG - some cool maps here! Watch it at AH.com or YouTube - thanks, NikkoB201. (Louis Wu 22:19:14 UTC) (permalink)
The man just keeps talking
OutsideXbox interviewed Frank O'Connor - topics included Spartan Ops, Cortana's character, The Covenant's part in the Campaign, and the changes to the multiplayer. Go watch! Thanks, Moorpheusl9. (Louis Wu 22:15:57 UTC) (permalink)

OXM Campaign preview (one level)
If you're not worried about Campaign spoilers, OXM has a preview of a so-far-unwritten-about level - with some pretty big plotpoints. (Again - stay away if you're looking to go in pure.)

Didn't make Page 6 - Naked Cortana not racy enough?
The New York Post has a preview of Halo 4 - not a lot new, but a nice mainstream venue. (Louis Wu 22:03:14 UTC) (permalink)
The Evolution of Infection, at Eurogamer Expo
A couple of Flood Mode gameplay vids have come out of Eurogamer Expo today - this video shows some commentated Flood gameplay on Complex (thanks, ElzarTheBam), while this one shows less-clear gameplay on Haven (mostly from the Human perspective - thanks again, Elzar). Take a look! (Louis Wu 22:00:57 UTC) (permalink)
Offscreen footage of Complex
BilzozANinja grabbed a couple of clips of gameplay on Complex, one of the new maps unveiled at Eurogamer Expo this week. There's a tiny tidbit of CTF (under a minute), and a couple of minutes of Regicide. Both are (obviously) offscreen, filmed with a phone - but they'll give you a decent view of the map. Thanks, CyReN.

Sparkast Summary
If you don't have time to listen to the Sparkast included in yesterday's Bulletin, never fear - A 3 Legged Goat summarized what's inside on Halo Waypoint's forums. (Thanks, Homeboyd.)

Oppa Halo Style
robofin117 dropped by with word of a video filmed at a cosplayer-filled convention... check out Halo Gangnam Style for some real enthusiasm! (The dancing skills are not quite up to the level of the original, but you gotta love how everyone got into this!)

Eurogamer Expo 2012: Halo 4 Developer Session
Frank O'Connor gave the keynote speech at the Eurogamer Expo this morning - you can watch it on YouTube. (It says 48 minutes, but the first 13:30 are devoid of real content. Start there, and you'll be happier.) This contains a campaign playthrough of about 10 minutes worth of level 3 - so if you're going dark, skip 17:00 - 30:00. You can find a transcription of the Q&A at the end of this presentation on Eurogamer.net, if you'd rather skip the video altogether.

Under-recognized, under-appreciated
Ensemble founder Tony Goodman talked to GamesIndustry International about Halo Wars, and how it came to be a Halo title. Mig brought it to the attention of our forum - and had some comments about what it all means. (Full article coming tomorrow; this is just a Halo-related teaser.) Update: the full interview is up now (thanks, Quirel). (Louis Wu 16:48:39 UTC) (permalink)

Guns and Rosy Views
Last Night's Halo Bulletin focuses on Promethean Weapons - it contains a pair of vids (one with overlaid music, one without), along with details about each individual weapon. But although that's a lot of info, it's not all that's there! There's a bit of info about 343's participation in New York Comic Con 2012 (coming up in 2 weeks), along with a brand-new Sparkast. Finally, there's a new Xbox LIVE theme available, and they've got screenshots to show you what you get if you buy it. Halo 4 is less than 40 days away... get pumped! (We have a local copy as well, of course.) (Louis Wu 16:32:11 UTC) (permalink)
PGCR 132
Robowski let us know that Post Game Carnage Report 132 is live - talk centers around Halo 4 (duh) and some Mega Bloks movie stuff (they've got Gagnon30 on as a guest). Go listen!
