Bungie Mail Sack 3.0
DeeJ has posted yet another iteration of the Mail Sack - it is NEARLY Halo-free, but I saw a Legendary Spartan helmet in one of the pictures, so I'm mentioning it. It's a good read. (Louis Wu 20:33:06 UTC) (permalink) 
Bryans Strategy - Halo Reach Montage 1
Z sent word that Bryans Strategy has released a new Halo Reach montage - edit timing is quite good. I'm not usually a fan of heavily-edited montages, but I enjoyed watching this one. Check it out! (Louis Wu 18:04:41 UTC) (permalink)
PGCR 102
Robowski let us know that Post Game Carnage Report Episode 102 is now live - go listen! (Louis Wu 17:58:43 UTC) (permalink)
A better look at HCEA Series 2
Spawn.com has posted more images of the Halo: Anniversary Series 2 figures (we first saw them last week) - very cool ideas with that Guilty Spark model! Thanks, Imrane-117.

Spartan Prototyping
A UK company that makes 3D printers released a video showing off how their products work... by creating an army of Halo characters. Pretty cool! Thanks to NeoGAF's wwm0nkey for the heads-up.

A look back at Halo Wars animations
Quirel noticed that one of the animators for Ensemble Studios put a show reel of some Halo Wars animations up on Vimeo - some pretty interesting stuff! Go look. (Louis Wu 17:52:29 UTC) (permalink)
Campfire Stories Machinima Series
Phat M0nk3y stopped in to announce that the first 8 minutes of Campfire Stories Season 2 are online. They're calling it a 'sneak peek', and they still want feedback for the rest of the season. Go watch, then tell 'em what you think! (Check the post for links and descriptions.) (Louis Wu 17:49:10 UTC) (permalink)
Reach Matchmaking Playlist Popularity Study
DEEP NNN put together a pretty detailed 'Playlist Popularity Study', looking at playlist populations over the past couple of months. Pretty interesting stuff!

Halo Bulletin: February 2, 2012
This week's Halo Bulletin is up - a touch later than usual, but none the worse for wear. February Matchmaking updates make up the bulk of the Bulletin, but food for the hungry, a new Custom Challenge, YouTube news, and what's next for Waypoint all get some love. (Some heartening (and not-so-heartening) news in that last one.) You can read it at Halo Waypoint, or in our Halo Bulletin Archive. Definitely read it, though. (Louis Wu 22:15:29 UTC) (permalink)
Anoj: Top 10 Greatest Moments of Season 4
Anoj has pulled together the Top 10 Greatest Moments of Season 4 of his Top 10 series... so meta-top-10? Thanks, Jordan Bell. (Louis Wu 21:00:52 UTC) (permalink)
Forerunner Relic Scene
Adam Murphy sent us a link to a video he created using the Unreal Development Kit - it's amazing. It was inspired by some Frank Capezzuto concept art from the Art of Halo 3 book (it's available on Frank's website, as well) - and if you're more interested in how this came together, Adam's portfolio contains some great images. Go watch. Really.

A bit about Bungie Pro
Roger 'Sawnose' Wolfson posted in Bungie.net's forum yesterday to clarify a little about the Bungie Pro service - what will happen on March 31, and what will happen further down the road. (His first post started that thread, and the followup, with more Halo-specific info, is here.)

Achievement PIG #60
Achievement PIG #60 is live (YouTube | AH.com) - they've definitely shortened these up, far fewer failed attempts visible. Thanks, hezekiah.

Sticky Bees - from an old Halo fan
mothergoat hasn't been around a lot - but he stopped by yesterday to announce his latest iPhone/iPod/iPad game called Sticky Bees (also in HD). You might think this has nothing to do with Halo... but you'd be wrong. Go grab a copy, and play!

Halo 4 Intel Inbound Soon?
Thanks to Hypertrooper, who brought the word to HaloGAF of the finnish magazine Pelaaja reporting that news on Halo 4 would be revealed at the Xbox Spring Showcase on February 29. While it's certainly still just a rumor, it's a tantalizing one to think that new goodies might be so close at hand! (GrimBrother One 15:01:58 UTC) (permalink)
Harvesting Every Little Detail
DayandKnightly has put the first official piece of content up on his new fiction-deciphering website, Reactive Bias. This new addition is Part I of his look at the novel Halo: Contact Harvest, and it's a fantastic look at some things you might not have caught the first time around. Whether you are new to the Halo fiction or not, it's a great refresher on some of the excellent details of the universe. Check it out! (GrimBrother One 14:30:52 UTC) (permalink)
Around Here, 117 > 300
Spec ops Grunt dropped by to let us know of a new addition to the Epic Rap Battles of History, this time pitting legendary Spartans Leonidas and Master Chief against each other. The result is actually pretty well done and definitely fun to watch. Go and check it out! (GrimBrother One 13:56:07 UTC) (permalink)
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.

TDSpiral came by with word of a new piece of artwork he'd created - Forerunner City is simply gorgeous! Go see.
