I know I’ve seen one like this before, but not sure if this is the same one. Regardless, it’s pretty darn good, so I just had to share it.

I saw this on Twitter yesterday. I asked the poster for the original link to credit the right person, but they didn’t know where it came from. So apologies to the artist. (If anyone knows who did this, shoot me a verifiable link, please).
Anyway, I thought it was too cool to pass up showing here.
Okay by the looks of Chief’s armor this might be an old rendering, but still it’s damn good!

Woot, I can’t wait for this episode. It’s the next to the last and the action is really ramping up here. Palmer finally puts her helmet on and goes out into battle. Or at least a man (or is that woman?) hunt. She’s out to get Halsey as ordered by Admiral Serin Ozman of ONI.
This episode is called “Key” and I bet it’s going to be very KEY to the Halo universe going forward. Halsey gets what looks like two index keys from the Librarian. Somehow one ends up with Jul M’dama and the other with Spartan Thorne (man I just knew he was going to play a more important part going forward). Hmm, I wonder if the Librarian makes Jul and the UNSC make a peace treaty?
Also note the keys are Red and Blue. Coincidence? I don’t think so. And I’d venture to guess one is the Didact’s while the other is the Librarian’s.
Hmm, this episode is getting better and better and it’s not even out yet!

The first gallery is of mission screencaps. Looks like we’re getting a new map! WOOT!! As well “Apex” makes it’s return.

This week’s bulletin is a good one. Of course there is the usual nonsensical first portion by BS Angel (I mean that with love Jess), then she gets to the “meat” or is that bacon? of the bulletin.
Spartan Ops gets a nod with a origin of “Undid Iridium.”
Playlists updates are the next order of business with Snipers and Shotty Snipes detailed. Also we’re getting a combined Team Objective playlist. This will no include Team Regicide, Oddball and finally the return of King of the Hill! (Yea!!!)
Team Throwdown (the competitive playlist) is planned for release on Feb 18. The Competitive Skill Rank (CSR) won’t be available at launch however. 343 wants to allow for some time to tweak the playlists in Throwback before opening up levels 1-50. So get your practice in now before it counts!
Finally it what I think is one of the most cool articles in recent bulletins is the revelation that there are still several uncovered Easter Eggs in the campaign.
Oh MY! I was just playing campaign yesterday in hopes of finding something others hadn’t yet. Looks like I’m going to be hitting the campaign really hard today. BS Angel eludes to there being a prize if you find them first. WOOT!

Funny stuff, especially when he finds himself in the game and what he does to Andy Richter.

All I can say is, OH MY! I think this episode is going to ROCK!
Finally Palmer puts her helmet on AND goes into battle on Requiem!
Halsey meeting the Librarian. Oh, this is going to be SOOO GOOD!
