In the new News Bulletin from the lovely Halo Waypoint team, we have been shown some pretty exciting stuff. Let's take it from the top with 343i Day, or December 9th if you fancy that. You can unlock the rare Commando Armor by playing a single War Games or SP Ops Matchmaking. Pretty cool deal eh? The resistor mod will also be fully available on the Ninth. As well, a new War Games Playlist will be available under the name of 343 Day Slayer, featuring the Speed Slayer game!

 

Speed Slayer

   •    6 vs. 6 Team Slayer
   •    Score to win: 800
   •    130% player speed
   •    Preset Loadouts, each equipped with Resistor and Mobility
   •    Initial Ordnance enabled, Random and Personal Ordnance disabled

The game type will be featured on the following maps:

   •    Longbow
   •    Complex
   •    Daybreak
   •    Exile
   •    Outcast
   •    Meltdown
   •    Harvest
   •    Wreckage
   •    Vortex
   •    Vertigo
   •    Perdition
   •    Ragnarok
   •    Shatter

Next, is the big one, a Halo comic in collaboration with Dark Horse called Halo: Escalation. The comic series spins directly out of the events of Halo 4, and begins when the UNSC Infinity is assigned escort duty for a diplomatic mission between the Arbiter and the Brutes. The first issue arrives in stores next Wednesday, December 11th. This sounds juicy, doesn't it? A sample from Issue #1, right before the event of SP Ops actually, is below,

Some wallpapers are also available, and they are ripe with colour, if I do say so myself.

Final note to those in Seattle, a small launch party will be underway wednesday, with a few guests, I'd personally go if I were you, :D

 

Cheers!

343 day sounds pretty cool. But will it top Bungie Day? The second wallpaper posted reminds me of A New Hope's theatre poster. :P

 

Also, anyone else notice that Palmer's shield meter is depleted in the comic sample? XD
