I’ve got tons of experience with Halo gaming and collecting. I feel I have something to offer to the greater Halo fan community.
Posts along the way will be about tips and tricks in the games as well as collecting and many more Halo related things. I’ll also repost interesting articles from the official site, Halowaypoint.com, or from fellow Halo fan sites.
As I continue this blog, I hope to help gamers who want advice on the games, as well as any collectors with regards to where to find collectibles as well as deals, coupons and so on.

We’re just 6 weeks away from the launch of Halo 5 Guardians! 42 days. roughly 1,000 hours (depending on where you live and also at what time your reading this).
The two videos that dropped yesterday gave us a good look at both a bit of Sangheilios as well as a brief glimpse at what goes into the making of a Halo game.
There is sure to be more info revealed. We still have New York Comicon to look forward to. Likely another multiplayer map reveal.
So here’s a question for you all, what new would you like to see revealed before Halo 5 releases?
We haven’t heard much at all about theater and forge. Those are high on my list.
As we quickly approach the month of October, much Halo goodness lies ahead. In the coming weeks, we’ll detail new features, including ones you haven’t yet seen. We’ll talk about Halo 5: Guardians playlists and game modes, and much more. You’ll see more sneak peeks at the story of Halo 5, as well as things like the REQ System, Spartan customization, and much more. We know you’re anxiously awaiting these details and more, and they will come in due time. Before we move on, I wanted to extend a special thanks to those of you who have provided your overwhelming and tremendously helpful MCC playlist feedback on Waypoint, Twitter, and r/Halo – the playlist team is evaluating your input as they work towards their next update, which I’m looking forward to discussing in the near future.
Today, we’ll talk about Halo: Last Light, which drops in just four days, Warzone level progression, which will help detail the flow of a match, and more. Let’s get to it. Continue reading →
It’s been an awesome summer working on The Bulletin. We’ve traveled to some amazing places, met incredible fans, and shared our stories along the way. And today’s episode is a perfect example of this.
We head to the Oregon countryside to meet Jeremie and Alexis, the passionate creators of one of the most epic Halo costumes I’ve ever seen – a 12-foot Hunter. I loved hearing about their process and watching them work.
For Fresh Picks this episode you should check out Hunt the Truth if you haven’t yet. This is required listening to get ready for the launch of Halo 5:
Guardians and season 2 is coming soon so get caught up!
You should also watch Halo 101: Ellen Anders. I’ve been re-watching these after the Halo Wars 2 announcement to catch up on the story and I always really like Professor Anders, she kind of reminds me of a less-scary Dr. Halsey.
We’re at that time in development where we go heads down to support launch, but don’t worry, there’s still a lot of great content coming your way. The Bulletin will be taking a break but we’ll be back at launch, and we’ve got lots of exciting stuff to share in the meantime.
ISSUE 41Welcome back, story-supporters! Last week we gave you your first details on the upcoming Halo novel from Joseph “Please do the Grunt voice” Staten, Halo: Shadow of Intent. This week we’ve got a smattering of lore-laden topics to touch on, starting off with a few words from current lead writer on the Halo: Escalation comic series, Duffy Boudreau. Many of you have been following Duffy’s work quite closely over the past few months, as he’s brought fans page after page of new Halo story goodness, featuring lore loaded with deep implications for the greater Halo narrative. Most recently, Duffy has been responsible for penning “The Absolute Record” story arc, which helps directly bridge the gap between the events of Halo 4: Spartan Ops and Halo 5: Guardians. I sat down with Duffy to ask about his role in creating new fiction, as well as how it feels to take on such a mantle of responsibility. Let’s get started, shall we?
