343 Sparkast 012
You can find the latest 343 Sparkast available for download from Halo Waypoint - you should listen to it. David Ellis, Frank O'Connor, Brad Welch, Josh Holmes, and Kevin Franklin (Lead Competitive Multiplayer Designer) discuss recent release info, and questions people have been expressing, and answers to said questions. (Have you been wondering about 'random weapon drops'? Yep, it's in there.) Go! (Thanks, CyReN.) (Tom Van Sinden 19:09:50 UTC) (permalink)
Official Halo 4 Release Date Announcement
bs angel sent us the official Press Release for the Halo 4 release date announcement, which we've archived for posterity. Don't say we never gave you anything! (Tom Van Sinden 18:42:08 UTC) (permalink)
If you want to play low-res Halo 4, you can
For folks who watched Game Informer's interview with Brad Welch yesterday, and got nervous with his comment that the multiplayer splitscreen support was "four-player split locally, two player online"... don't worry, he was talking about Coop play there. Standard multiplayer still supports 4-player splitscreen online. Thanks to Frank O'Connor for clarification. (Tom Van Sinden 18:39:38 UTC) (permalink)
HCEA Concept Art back up at Visualatrium
Over at NeoGAF, MrBig pointed out a pair of concept art pieces from Eddie Smith which have not gotten much (if any) public love so far... gorgeous imaginings of Halo Anniversary scenes. Check 'em out! (Tom Van Sinden 18:31:30 UTC) (permalink)
CBS teams up with MLG and Twitch
Looks like CBS Interactive has partnered up with both Major League Gaming and Twitch.TV - this should mean big things for eSports! Thanks, DEEP NNN. (Tom Van Sinden 18:27:37 UTC) (permalink)
Introducing the Korny Rendering Service
munky-058 stopped in last night with a very generous offer - he's willing to help you render film clips that you can no longer render on Bungie.net! Swing by his forum post for full details. (Tom Van Sinden 18:22:56 UTC) (permalink)
Breaking In: Alex Loret de Mola
The latest Breaking In article at Bungie.net is Halo-free (as many recent ones have been) - but the spotlight is on Alex Loret de Mola, a new Web Engineer, and his route to his recent success is one that might resonate with a lot of people. (Web engineers are near and dear to my heart, for what should be pretty obvious reasons.) Go read. And if you like what you read, and want to help Bungie take over the world, check their Jobs page.

It's All Conceptual, Of Course
Tawpgun stopped by to keep us abreast of some recent developments regarding Cortana's Random Access Mammory upgrades for Halo 4. A friend of his created this image, which rounds off some figures in order to nip certain rumors in the bud. Take a look and see if you agree! (GrimBrother One 16:41:22 UTC) (permalink)
What's In Store For Playtime?
CruelLEGACEY sent word that episode 4 of his awesome Playtime machinima series is now live. Red and Warren continue to search for the Invaders' home, but is everything what it seems to be? Check it out both at the Playtime site and over at Halo Waypoint. Go watch! (GrimBrother One 16:10:06 UTC) (permalink)
I am Best Friends with Frankie. He is Not Aware of This Friendship.
Also up on Halo Waypoint today is the latest Halo Bulletin! Providing some more details about the launch date announcement as well as the appearance of Team Friki (best thing EVER) on CONAN tonight, it's an update you shouldn't miss. I do believe also that since it's out on Tuesday, bs angel now has a free pass for one of her Thursday-release Bulletins. <3 While Wu toils away making a local version, go enjoy the complicated one! Update: Toiling complete. Local version up. (GrimBrother One 15:45:18 UTC) (permalink)

Halo Waypoint gave us a special announcement this morning by revealing the launch date of Halo 4! November 6, 2012 will be the call to sickness for Halo fans, as we start a new fight with the Master Chief. In a cool twist, the folks over at Rooster Teeth got involved to help give the announcement. You can catch both of the Red vs Blue announcement shorts (US | International) over at Halo Waypoint.
