The Halo Bulletin 5-1-13

halobulletinheader_5-1-13Kind of a disappointing bulletin this week, IMO.

Bravo is given the reigns for this one. He starts off by flaunting the fact that he works for 343 and that he got to get into a life sized Warthog. He included another MLGer “Walshy” in this photo op then moves on to an interview with him about the weapons tuning.  Rather dry stuff to me.

Next is an actual article on weapons tuning where it’s said that 343 will be inviting a small group of community members into the studio to get a sneak peak at the new weapon tuning. Hmm, I bet this will be mostly MLGers and devs. You know, NOT the regular fans. Sigh.

An article about CSR is next and WOW hey 26 people reached level 35 or higher in the Castle playlist. Hmm, is there something fundamentally wrong there? Out of the roughly 40k active Halo 4 gamers ONLY 26 got that high or better? Seems like CSR isn’t quite working correctly, at least in that playlist.

A list of next week’s matchmaking is up next. Plenty of NEW (forge) maps are coming to matchmaking and some current forge maps are being rotated into other playlists. Not really too excited about this. (I’m not a fan of some of the “Candyland” colored objects in many of the forge maps.)

Finally the gallery this week is of screenshots on Daybreak. Bummer to say, but I think this was the highlight of this week’s bulletin, well that or that it finally came to an end.

Sorry folks, I just wasn’t impressed with the bulletin this week. Apologies for what appears to be a snarky attitude towards it.
