A typical morning at the studio involves a cup (or three) of coffee, a quick game (or three) of Matchmaking, and a meeting (or three) that cover one if not all of the numerous projects we're working on. This morning though, on an incredibly oversized 220" screen, we watched a live broadcast of the Seattle Seahawks parading through the crowded streets of downtown Seattle (strangely enough and certainly unrelated, our studio was not crowded and instead as barren as can be). While the local news coverage of the event provided more ridiculous moments than actual coverage of the parade itself, such as the news anchors' repeated failed attempts to get the attention of the Seahawks passing by, it was exciting to witness the city's celebration of our first world championship, and see the (and I'm quoting the local news anchor here) "Big vehicles with big people in them" cruising through the city. After one last celebration for our team, Dr. Phil popped onto the screen, and that's when we realized it was time to turn the TV off and try to get a little bit of work done. | A typical morning at the studio involves a cup (or three) of coffee, a quick game (or three) of Matchmaking, and a meeting (or three) that cover one if not all of the numerous projects we're working on.

Speaking of football, we hope that you got a chance to partake in some Halo 4 Spartan Bowl over the weekend. We all know how the big game ended (woo-hoo!) but we thought you'd enjoy hearing about how the two teams faired in-game. | Speaking of football, we hope that you got a chance to partake in some Halo 4 Spartan Bowl over the weekend.

Although we know who quite handily won the real game, the Halo 4 Spartan Bowl had a slightly different result. As you can see above, the Broncos-themed red Spartans appear to have edged out the real championship team. bs angel would like me to add that if you played as the Seahawk-themed blue team and lost at all over the course of the weekend, you may be permanently banned. I think she's kidding. But is she? Either way, if you hopped into the playlist and contributed to any of the 164,518,855 points that were scored over the weekend, we'd like to thank you, and hope you enjoyed the games. | Although we know who quite handily won the real game, the Halo 4 Spartan Bowl had a slightly different result.

== Matchmaking Playlist Update == | |||
Heavies went live as our featured playlist on Monday morning, and we've seen that thousands of you have joined the action. The playlist, which stole the top spot from Big Team Battle for three days running, is packed with heavy vehicles and large weapons and features both Slayer and King of the Hill on Wreckage, Shatter, Harvest, Daybreak, Outcast and Perdition, Longbow, Ragnarok, Vortex, Meltdown, and Exile. As we mentioned last week, the playlist is a great stomping ground to rack up vehicle and weapon commendations along with ridiculous and explosive Matchmaking memories, and also several achievements. The Crimson DLC Mantis achievements "Bigfoot," "David and Goliath," and "Pump Yer Brakes," are all achievable in Heavies, so get 'em while they're hot. The playlist, will be around until February 17th - hop in and join the action! | Heavies went live as our featured playlist on Monday morning, and we've seen that thousands of you have joined the action.

We'll have all the juicy details for the upcoming update (and the Big Rumble Playlist) next week, but first we've got a new Community Choice Poll that will help determine one of the game types that we include in Big Rumble. | We'll have all the juicy details for the upcoming update (and the Big Rumble Playlist) next week, but first we've got a new Community Choice Poll that will help determine one of the game types that we include in Big Rumble. | ||
Big Rumble will feature 12-player Free-For-All on medium-sized maps and a combination of game types at launch. One of those game types will be one of the above, and we need you to select which! Read more about each option below. | Big Rumble will feature 12-player Free-For-All on medium-sized maps and a combination of game types at launch.

'''Quick Draw''' | '''Quick Draw'''<br> | ||
A brand new game type to Halo 4, Quick Draw lets players battle it out with just Magnums, Frag Grenades, and the Dexterity Support Upgrade. In Quick Draw, the fastest on the trigger will emerge victorious. | |||
'''Stickyball''' | '''Stickyball'''<br> | ||
Originally announced as part of the Oddball playlist last October, Stickyball equips players with the Sticky Detonator and Plasma Grenades. In an FFA setting, there are even more explosions, frantic escapes, and things getting stuck to other things. It's messy, good fun. | |||
'''Fiesta Slayer''' | '''Fiesta Slayer'''<br> | ||
There's no doubt that 12-player FFA is already a party, but add in random weapons, and you've got a real Fiesta. Players respawn with random primary and secondary weapons. | |||
Head here to vote on the Waypoint forums where voting will be open for approximately four days. Next week we'll announce the Community Choice winner along with the Matchmaking Update! | |||
== Halo eValentines == | |||
You may recall last year that we created some Halo-themed eValentines that featured a collection of pick-up lines that any Halo fan would appreciate. If you happened to share one of these cards with your "favorite Player 2," as bs angel put it last year, there's a good chance that you are now together or joined in wedlock, as they were masterfully written to melt hearts. This year, we're looking for the best community-crafted Halo-themed valentines to share and woo us! | |||
If you have an idea for a creation, send it to bsangel [at] halowaypoint.com and we'll select our favorites for next week's Bulletin. Whether you create it digitally, with tape and scissors, or use an in-game screenshot, those of you who submit a creation may or may not receive festive-colored Spartan armor for your Xbox 360 avatar... | |||
Stop by next week to see our favorites, and also to grab the last minute eValentine that you'll undoubtedly need because you once again forgot that Valentine's Day was already here (bs angel edit: tsk tsk). Don't worry. We got you. Actually, your fellow community members do - make sure you thank them! | |||
== Gamers for Giving Preview == | |||
Coming up this weekend is Gamers for Giving, a charity gaming tournament and LAN party that happens to be all sorts of awesome. I've had the privilege to attend the event in past years, and we at 343 Industries are honored and excited to partner with them yet again for their fantastic, frag-filled festivities. I'll be heading out to Michigan this weekend to check out the Halo 4 action, and whether on the live stream on in-person, you should as well! | |||

I was going to tell you about the event and charity myself, but then I imagined bs angel making a very nervous, tense face, shaking her head, and waving her hands in suggestion that I should let our friend Zach Wigal (who may know slightly more about Gamers for Giving) give you the details. So then I decided to do just that. | I was going to tell you about the event and charity myself, but then I imagined bs angel making a very nervous, tense face, shaking her head, and waving her hands in suggestion that I should let our friend Zach Wigal (who may know slightly more about Gamers for Giving) give you the details.

== Screenshot Spotlight: Heavy Vehicles == | |||
Last week, we turned the spotlight on nature. This week, we decided to go with things that are large and in charge. Take a gander at the following heavy vehicle screenshots, and maybe even find inspiration to make your own. | |||
