\"halobulletinheader_11-27-13\"<\/a>Bravo writes this week bulletin. First up the Matchmaking playlist update<\/span>. Nothing new from last week, other than a small pic showing what the top 200 in team slayer will look like.<\/p>\n

Next up is a Thanksgiving playlist titled “Turkey Bowl<\/span>“. It’s a variant of Ricochet that will be available from Nov 28-Dec 2. It will also have special team colors: Green\/Gold (Think Green Bay Packers) vs Powder Blue\/White (Think Detroit Lions – yes, I know their other color is silver…)<\/p>\n

There will also be special loadouts for this this temporary playlist as follows:
\nQuarterback:<\/span>
\nDMR
\nMagnum
\nHologram
\nFrag Grenades
\nTactical Package: Grenadier
\nSupport Upgrade: Explosives<\/p>\n

Lineman:<\/span>
\nAssault Rifle
\nMagnum
\nAutosentry
\nFrag Grenades
\nTactical Package: Resupply
\nSupport Upgrade: Ammo<\/p>\n

Wide Receiver:<\/span>
\nBR
\nMagnum
\nThruster Pack
\nFrag Grenade
\nTactical Package: Shielding
\nSupport Upgrade: Dexterity<\/p>\n

Linebacker:<\/span>
\nStorm Rifle
\nPlasma Pistol
\nRegeneration Field
\nPlasma Grenades
\nTactical Package: Mobility
\nSupport Upgrade: Dexterity<\/p>\n

Running Back:<\/span>
\nCarbine
\nPlasma Pistol
\nHardlight Shield
\nPlasma Grenades
\nTactical Package: AA Efficiency
\nSupport Upgrade: Stability<\/p>\n

What’s funny\/strange is that these are eerily similar to ones I set up for my Halo Ricochet League, though called by different names…<\/p>\n

The Champions bundle will be on sale for $4.99 on Black Friday only. Take advantage of this if you haven’t bought it yet. It’s TOTALLY worth it!<\/p>\n

Community Choice: Race<\/span>
\nThe next playlist for the rotational playlist will be race. Waypoint is once again opening up the voting options here to vote for a multiplayer map to be included in the playlist. Your choices are:<\/p>\n

\"voting2_660\"<\/a>I think this is an EASY choice. Longbow is the one that makes the most sense with it’s OPEN roadways, many and alternate paths as well. Complex has too much crap in the way for most of the map. Meltdown, while having that nice figure 8 to it, is just that. Those side paths would be WAY to hard to navigate effectively during a race. For those reasons I voted Longbow. I hope you will too. To vote, go HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There will be several Black Friday Deals for Halo. Check them out HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly is the screenshot spotlight. This one on “Football”.<\/p>\n
