Pumpkin Voting - Now Open!
We need your help! This year, we received more than 20 submissions for our 343 Guilt O' Lantern contest (well, a few more than that, but joke entries were disqualified), and we need your help picking the winners! Swing by the voting page, peruse the pictures (be sure to click on the thumbnails, many of the designs NEED to be seen in larger format to be appreciated), and pick your favorite 5 - we'll tally the votes and declare winners after we close the page next Friday night!

The last written Bulletin
The latest Halo Bulletin went live last night on Waypoint - it's really worth reading. There's a breakdown of the Skulls available in the package (and how they affect scoring and Achievements), there's a description of the LASO playlists, and there's a summary of the ranking system in the Collection. Additionally, there a recap of the upcoming Halo Championship Series, a new installment of Canon Fodder (we love you, Grim!), and a note about how the Bulletin, in its current form, is disappearing. (It's moving to the Halo Channel, starting next week, and will be in video format from there on out.) Because of this change, the local copy of this week's Bulletin will be the last we archive in our Halo Bulletin Archive. (Sad days!) Go read - and enjoy the end of an era!

Sharing History
Polygon has a great piece from Ben Kuchera about introducing the next generation to Halo. It brought back some real memories - go give it a read! (Louis Wu 21:36:39 UTC) (permalink)
All 110 maps, in order
IGN has been counting down the best Halo maps - the top 10 are now online. I'm intrigued that no map past Halo 2 made the top cut. Thanks, ChrisTheeCrappy. (Louis Wu 21:32:57 UTC) (permalink)
H2A Prologue Terminals 1 and 2
Halo Waypoint has released a pair of 'Prologue' Terminal vids (Beholden and Unyielding), filling in some of the Halo 2 backstory that happens outside the games - readers of the earlier novels might recognize some situations. Fascinating! Thanks, Mid7night. (Louis Wu 21:28:22 UTC) (permalink)
Forge Space
Wow, interesting. FyreWulff made some simple graphics to show you the size of the Forge canvases in the Master Chief Collection, and how they compare to the canvases we've had before. That's a lot of space! (Louis Wu 21:25:30 UTC) (permalink)
The Reviews Begin
A bunch of reviews for the Master Chief Collection have landed - thanks to our forumgoers for ferreting out the links!
Go see what's coming next week! (Louis Wu 21:23:10 UTC) (permalink)
