Farewell to a Legend - Winner Announced
We heard from Kontrol Freek that the winner of their Farewell to a Legend contest has been announced - go see who's going to be playing on his new Reach Xbox 360 with a Master Chief vs the Flood statue in the background (and a pair of Freek Legendarys on his controller!) In the near future! In addition, Kontrol Freek is sending along a Steve-Downes-signed pic of Master Chief to us (one of these); we'll figure out a suitable giveaway in the near future! Everybody wins. (There are still a few FPS Freek Legendarys in stock, so if you haven't grabbed a pair, do it now!) (Louis Wu 16:55:15 UTC)

Halo Minesweeper
Every once in a while, someone creates a minigame in Forge that shows just how flexible the engine can be, when confronted with enough creativity. pete_the_duck stopped in yesterday to announce Minesweeper... which, amazingly, works the same in Halo: Reach as it does on your PC. My jaw is officially dropped. (Louis Wu 13:53:46 UTC)

It's a Flying Vehicle Edition.
hezekiah feels chastised by my comments from last week, but it doesn't stop him from serving up some puncakes and bacon to announce the most recent Fails of the Weak (AH.com | YouTube). Some really funny fails! (Louis Wu 16:54:46 UTC)

Will the Commercials Have a Fast-talking Announcer?
Yesterday we mentioned a Halo Waypoint announcement regarding the new XBOX Live Avatar-based Halo collectibles coming from McFarlane Toys, but we forgot to mention the add the additional news that McFarlane Toys also announced yet another type of Halo collectible called "Micro-Ops". These sound very cool, as they scale down the vehicles and personnel in order to focus on some of the larger set pieces in the Halo Universe, such as the environment itself. The first series alone will give you the ability to recreate the Halo 3 map High Ground! Sounds awesome! Check out the aforementioned press release for more details. I wonder what model of Banshee they'll use... (GrimBrother One 15:35:03 UTC)

We Always Figured They Would...
In a pretty awesome piece of news, 343 Industries announced today that McFarlane Toys will be manufacturing a line of Halo 4 toys, as well as continuing the Halo Universe line (I know personally that GrimBrother IV will be ecstatic to see a Fred-104 figure in the lineup!). You can see a partial (very partial for Halo 4 obviously) lineup in the linked press release. Collectors, be at the ready! Also, as a bonus, I would like to personally link you to the local version of this week's Halo Bulletin from bs angel! (GrimBrother One 14:19:34 UTC)

Blowing Up to Win
Achievement HORSE #57 (AchievementHunter.com | YouTube) marks the return of Geoff - will Jack's 3 extra months of practice keep him on top? Watch to find out! hezekiah's informational forum post used up what seems to be a lifetime supply of horse puns, so the next few announcement posts will probably read "Achievement HORSE #[some_number_here] live".

Play HCEA, Fly to LA
Wow - I'm not sure I understand how Halo Anniversary plays in all this... but G4TV has an announcement about a sweepstakes being conducted by Xbox LIVE, in relation to the upcoming movie Underworld Awakening. If you download the official Gamer Picture during the prize period (one of which ends tonight, and the next of which starts tomorrow), you will be entered into a sweepstakes whose winner will fly to LA in May for an Attack of the Show episode. Apparently, there's a dusk-till-dawn session of Halo Anniversary being scheduled this weekend as part of this promotion - but I can't find any info about that specifically. Thanks, ElzarTheBam!
