The bulletin starts off with the road to the finals of the Halo 4 Global Championship. It’s a recap of the RTX, On-line, and Gamescom qualifiers.
Next up is of course the expected H4GC finals:
Bravo recounts the days leading up to and including the finals event. Interestingly enough, Ace, the eventual winner ALMOST didn’t even play in the PAX rounds. He barely made it in time to register and compete.
The Elite Eight:
Getting ready to play the 8-person FFA match.
The final four:
The CHAMP!
Matchmaking Playlist Update:

This is a GREAT deal for those who don’t have the game yet. For those that do and have not bought any of the DLC, it’s a great deal as well. ALl the DLC and all but the FOTUS preorder armor. ON that note, I am happy that FOTUS is not parts of this offer. Everything else was free with pre-orders. The FOTUS could ONLY be had if you bought the limited edition Halo 4 XBOX. That truly was limited and exclusive.
And finally, as usual the bulletin ends with a Screenshot Spotlight. This week: Pitfall!
There are some pretty cool shots in this one.

Non of the limited edition or the console edition stuff is included in the GOTY Edition now, except the light rifle imprint skin. Also 343 have forgot to put some stuff in this pack such as the Corbulo emblem which you get with Halo 4 themed 12 month gold cards. I wonder if they will still consider putting them in
Ah yes, I’d love to have that emblem. AXIOS!
