The Halo Lowdown for the Week
Yesterday's Halo Bulletin is full of fun stuff: details about RTX (coming up in a week), details about the timed exclusive skulls you'll get by buying your copy of the Master Chief Collection from a specific retailer, details about Halo: Escalation #7 (out this week), details about the changing coming in Halo 4 Matchmaking, and some great Light Rifle-related screenshots. Read it on Halo Waypoint, or in our Halo Bulletin Archive. (Louis Wu 23:23:30 UTC) (permalink)
Flood onslaught challenge
Rockslider jumped into Keyes recently, and had a little fun with the Flood. Swing by his post for details, and movie links!

To (1080)p or not to (1080)p
Over at Inquisitr, there's a summary of a post Frank O'Connor made on NeoGAF recently - he was explaining why the E3 shots of Halo 2 Anniversary weren't a full 1080p. It seems that the build we saw earlier this month was only 900p, because the second frame buffer (the one that allows you to be able to switch back and forth between original and new graphics) is eating a bunch of the available resources. They're still planning for the final version to be 1080p - but there aren't any promises. (All OTHER products in the Master Chief Collection are 1080p; it's just H2A that has this issue.) The article spawned a discussion on our own forum (thanks, Moorpheusl9) with some pretty firm convictions being expressed... go throw your own two cents in! (Remember, though, that the goal, in November, is an H2A running at 1080p - so keep in mind you're discussing ideas, not facts.) (Louis Wu 20:38:47 UTC) (permalink)
This Ring Will Make Us Brothers-in-Law
Beorn stopped by the forum a couple of days ago to share some pictures from his sister's wedding. (No, he's not just showing off family photos - she and her husband met online, playing Halo, and the gaming played a role in their nuptuals! Check out the heartwarming story.

Cleaning up odds and ends
A couple of rough days at the homestead means limited online time; let's catch up. gamerguy2002 pointed out a new vid from Lord Zedd - more digging in the code for Halo 4 has turned up a few unused pieces of armor in the code - swing by to see 'em. (They're pretty similar to existing stuff, which might be why they weren't used.)
