You got Halo in my Minecraft
PlayXBLA has posted a couple of screenshots from an upcoming mash-up pack for the Xbox 360 version of Minecraft - 4J Studios is adding a Halo flavor to Minecraft! Fun. (Louis Wu 19:02:55 UTC)

Pulling the wrappers off
Yesterday, the latest Halo Bulletin went up on Halo Waypoint - you'll find wallpaper from the Halo 5 concept art, new matchmaking details, a pretty amazing facepainter, and some cool shotgun screenshots. Give it a read! (You can read it here, too. Of course.) (Louis Wu 14:42:29 UTC)

Halo Mash-Up Pack
PlayXBLA has got quite a bit of information regarding the Halo mash-up pack for Minecraft - looks like a decent amount of Halo themed content is making its way to Minecraft. There are also a couple screenshots showing off Noble team skins, a Mammoth, and a Guilty Spark skin. Check it out! (colindosaj 21:16:50 UTC)

Maybe Waypoint should switch to Saturdays
Not sure how I managed to miss it this week, since I was back in internet land by Wednesday... but somehow, the Weekly Halo Bulletin came and went without an acknowledgement. If you haven't read it yet, you should go take a look. There's information on Matchmaking changes, an interesting Knowledge Drop (comprised of Twitter-originated questions about the Halo universe and answers from the 343 team), and a screenshot spotlight on that most underrated weapon, the Sticky Detonator. As always, there's a local copy, should you need it. Sorry for the delay! (Louis Wu 16:24:45 UTC)

It's Wednesday, right?
Once again, way late... but hey, sometimes we forget. This week's Halo Bulletin went live on Wednesday (as usual)... and it's worth a read. A great speedrun, playlist updates, new elements, and some slick screenshots - go read! (It's local, too - as usual.)

Indoor Soccer - More Dangerous than Halo
Wow - some days just don't go as planned. Today is one of those days. Let's get to the news we have, shall we? The latest Halo Bulletin was posted yesterday evening - and it looks like, going forward, it might start appearing earlier in the day on Wednesdays. Go give it a read - you'll learn about a Bravo injury (boo!), new matchmaking stuff (yay!), more pics of the Spartan Laser we mentioned not too long ago, a recap of the Beyond Entertainment Spring Showdown, and some cool Wraith pics. You can also read it locally, if you choose. (Louis Wu 22:51:47 UTC)

Ooh, trading cards!
Yesterday's Halo Bulletin focused on matchmaking updates (yay, Heavies!), the recently-released Escalation #05 and some fantastic melee screenshots. Check it out - either at Halo Waypoint, or right here! (Louis Wu 22:23:02 UTC)

Shoulda Snarled Back
343 Industries and Dark Horse Comics have just released Issue #5 of Halo: Escalation. Some things are really starting to heat up in the Halo Universe! Some key questions answered, and even more raised. If you are still on the fence, then get down, it's dangerous. Also, you can check out a couple of previews from Waypoint and from Dark Horse. Go read it! (GrimBrother One 13:45:23 UTC)

Help us Gaben, you’re our only hope
Earlier this month we found out that Gamespy planned to shut down its servers before the end of the year leaving Halo PC and Halo CE players without a hosting service. robofin117 let us know that a group of fans started a petition for Halo PC/CE support on Steam. So far over 15,000 people have signed. Even if you don't sign, it’s worth checking out some of the neat stories from supporters talking about what the game means to them. (colindosaj 06:40:12 UTC)

Bravo: Saving Lives, Every Day
Yesterday's Halo Bulletin is lighter than usual - mostly playlist updates and info about a new Spartan Assault feature - but there are also some answers to community questions, and some cool Adrift screens. Go read! (As always, there's a copy in our Halo Bulletin Archive, too.) (Louis Wu 16:35:38 UTC)

Pfft. He thinks he found all the cameras.
Once again, we're late posting news of the Halo Bulletin - which is sad, because it's a great read this week. Word of the Bravo-Cam, descriptions of Matchmaking updates, the skinny on a new Mega Bloks release (and giveaway!), news about Spartan Assault, an interview with a community Forger, and a dozen grenade screenshots fill this issue. You can, as always, read it in our Halo Bulletin Archive, if you so desire. (Louis Wu 17:41:31 UTC)

The Halo Community, and its influence - one fan's view
Hey, let's do a little catch-up. It's been a busy week (and yes, it really did just start). A few days ago, Gagnon 30 wrote an article looking at the "Halo Community" (it's in quotes because in this context it's pretty hard to define), and what they want - or, more accurately, what they SAY they want. Or what SOME of them say they want. Hmm... these qualifiers could become a pretty deep rabbit hole if I'm not careful... Anyway, Gagnon 30 has a pretty strong view about this subject, and you can read his thoughts (and comment on the article) at Teabag or Die. (Louis Wu 18:30:03 UTC)

Donuts and Cat Shirts
Another Wednesday, another Halo Bulletin. This one recaps last week's win over community pros, discusses upcoming playlist changes (in detail), lets you know that Halo: Escalation #4 is live (with a link to a preview, even), and shows you some very pretty Haven-themed screenshots. It can be found locally, as usual, in our Halo Bulletin Archive, as well. (Thanks, serpx.) (Louis Wu 16:23:58 UTC)

Shout Outs to Dave Lang
Last weeks Bombcast had a segment on community and developer interaction and our little site and awesome community got a mention (starts at 27:05). What I want to know is who came up with a fictional explanation as to why Master Chief couldn't originally sprint? (colindosaj 18:38:18 UTC)

They're Gonna Need a Bigger Booth
Kal Belgarion sent word that the RTX 2014 Grifball Kickstarter will close on Thursday at 11pm EDT. GriballHub are 90% of the way to their next goal of doubling their booth size - I like a big booth. Get involved and go donate $1…or more! (colindosaj 08:19:09 UTC)

A Halo Bulletin to Remember
DOH! I went to all the effort to localize the latest Halo Bulletin (looks like a pretty major CMS upgrade at 343!), and forgot to post a note about it! Go give it a read - the focus is Jessica 'bs angel' Shea, who just moved from Community Manager to 'Studio Operations PM' - congrats to her! There are other tidbits - new playlist changes, a livestream tomorrow (go watch 343's pro team take on its community!), and some nice screens. Enjoy! (Louis Wu 23:41:59 UTC)

Fast-paced precision weapon gameplay
Have you tried Proving Ground yet? It's the latest Halo 4 Matchmaking Playlist, having kicked off yesterday - BR starts, power weapons, and a motion tracker, but no personal ordnance or armor abilities. Go shoot someone!

Screenshot for Halo
Over the years, there have been several fan-run resources for Halo screenshots - the newest is an Instagram account devoted to spectacular screens, called 'Screenshots for Halo'. Take a look! Thanks, bs angel.

EVERYONE GO FOR BS ANGEL
Another Wednesday, another Halo Bulletin - this time, it's got a recap of the recent 343 Community Playdate (did you participate?), information about upcoming playlist changes, a job opening, an interview with an existing Environment Artist, and some nice screenshots. Go look! (As usual, it's local, too.) (Louis Wu 06:10:47 UTC)

More info on Cortana
The Verge got hold of a couple of screenshots of the upcoming 'Cortana' digital assistant for Windows 8 phones - looks like Microsoft is going with an animated circle instead of a female avatar. Thanks to Revenant1988, who found this at Engadget. (Louis Wu 21:51:29 UTC)

3D printing is changing film
doober187 pointed out a video on YouTube from Legacy Effects, born out of Stan Winston Studio - it discusses how 3D printing is revolutionizing special effects in mass media (mostly movies). The Halo diorama, created as part of the runup to Halo 3, plays a significant role (almost a minute and a half of this 8-minute piece). The Halo content starts around 1:10 or so - but the whole thing is a fascinating watch. (Louis Wu 22:13:49 UTC)
