\"halobulletinheader_10-30-13\"<\/a>Bravo writes this week’s bulletin and it shows. It’s concise, to the point and chock full of Halo without the added fluffery.<\/p>\n

He starts off with an article about the conceptualization to completion of the Halo 4 Global Championship event stage design.<\/p>\n

Bravo then segues nicely to the announcement of Spartan Assault on both XBOX 360 and XBOX One.<\/p>\n

Halo Spartan Assault<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Halo<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Three key points of interest in this article are:
\n\u2022 A brand new online Co-op mode with new missions featuring the Flood (Very cool. I’ll be looking for folks to game with me in this!!!)
\n\u2022 The Operation Hydra DLC expansion pack (Looks like this will come with the game immediately without further purchase)
\n\u2022 An expanded arsenal that brings you more weapons, armor abilities, and upgrades (In the Win8 device version you had to pay real money to upgrade to the rocket launcher. Looks like you may not have to in the console version. YEAH!)<\/p>\n

Bravo added these two graphics to use as wallpapers if you’d like. Click to make MUCH BIGGER! Right click to save.<\/p>\n

He mentions again about the “Smashin Punkins” playlist only available until the end of today. I played it a few times yesterday. It’s okay. Worth play a few games for the fun of it.<\/p>\n

Guilty Spark Emblem Unlock<\/span><\/p>\n

\"sparkunlock_660\"<\/a>Okay, now THIS is pretty cool. 343 will be unlocking the Guilty Spark emblem for FREE on Nov 6th ONLY. So long as you complete just ONE game in either War Games of Spartan Ops matchmaking, you’ll get this emblem!<\/p>\n

So will you tell your friends who haven’t played Halo in awhile about this? Or keep it to yourself so you can brag when they come to game with you in Halo 4 from time to time?<\/p>\n

Also, on Halo 4’s anniversary there will also be a 24 hour special playlist. No further details on that at the moment.<\/p>\n

Team Slayer Update<\/span><\/p>\n

Text taken directly from the bulletin:<\/p>\n

As I mentioned earlier, I sometimes have the pleasure of working on projects from beginning to end. Since the conclusion of the Halo 4 Global Championship, one of the things that we\u2019ve been working on is the Team Slayer CSR program that I\u2019ve been detailing over the past few weeks. In conjunction with designers such as Josh Menke and Quinn DelHoyo, we\u2019ve been developing a program that highlights and showcases the top-ranked players in the Team Slayer playlist. We\u2019re planning on launching this program within the next month or so, and we\u2019ve got some new details about the update:<\/p>\n
