Just like that, it's already time for another Community Spotlight. Like Uny has pointed out writing his Community Updates, there's a lot going on around the studio which keeps us all pretty busy. Next thing I know, I find myself in Photoshop pulling together another Spotlight. People say time flies when you're having fun and after the past few weeks, I can confirm the veracity of that statement. Okay enough about me and the studio, you guys are here for the community content so let's dive on in!
Happy Birthday, HBO!

Before the combat evolved, before Reach fell, halo.bungie.org formed the firm foundation of this franchise's community. Today, we celebrate 20 years of Claude "Louis Wu" Errera and crew giving Halo fans a home - Happy Birthday, H.B.O.!

Big Broadcasts
By Unyshek -
We're wrapping up a fairly hectic two weeks at the studio, but I couldn't be more excited for what's to come. We continued our partnership with Limbitless Solutions, launched a gigantic Big Team Battle Refresh in Halo 5, updated MCC's online playlist offerings, and that's only the tip of the public-facing work we've been doing. Sadly I don't get to dive into the secret stuff in these Community Update too often, but I do enjoy keeping everyone up to date with the latest and greatest. With that...

Welcome to the latest installment of the Halo Community Spotlight! Spring is here in full force and between long leisurely walks with the dog and making sure we sit outside for lunch, I'm soaking up as much of the sunshine because it's 81°F (27°C for everyone else) out in May. But hey, you're not here to listen to me wax poetic about the sunshine, you're here for all the amazing screenshots, artwork, and more, aren't you? I'll let you read while I sip on my my iced Americano - cheers!

Big Team Battle Refresh 2019
By Unyshek -
The highly-anticipated Big Team Battle Refresh is now live in Halo 5! Our team has been working with the best Forgers in the community to build, polish, and tune these large-scale battlegrounds for the 8v8 action only Big Team Battle can provide. We've also coordinated with the top scripters out there to add the fan-favorite round-based mode, 1 Flag CTF, to the playlist. Keep reading to find out what's been improved with Big Team Battle!

Eye-Opening Exhibitions
By Unyshek -
We're back for another Community Update! The past two weeks have been filled with constant discussion around Halo: The Master Chief Collection, Halo: Outpost Discovery, a real-life Warthog exhibit with mixed-reality, and what seems to be an infinite amount of extra Halo goodness. That said, let's dive in and talk about a handful of the projects that have been going on across the studio!

It's not really springtime without a frantic round of Spring Cleaning and the Studio was no exception. The area the Community Team sits in got shuffled around and we spent late last week packing up our desks and belongings. We came in Monday to brand new desks in brand new locations and took advantage of the clean start to get things set up just right. It's Thursday now and I think we're all finally settled into the new digs and things are back on track. Also it's Thursday so that means it's...

Casting Call
By Unyshek -
From announcing the actor that will play Master Chief in the upcoming Showtime Halo series to launching a ranked Super Fiesta mode in Halo 5, it's been an exciting and interesting week here at the studio. On top of the typical work week of meetings, emails, and announcements, I've also had to start mentally preparing to play on our studio's softball team which saw quite a few casualties last year. While I do play indoor soccer with the studio, I've been itching to take a few swings, run the...

Another alternate Thursday is here and that means it's the best time of the week – Community Spotlight time! Prepping Spotlights always reminds me a bit of a "Choose Your Own Adventure" kind of story because there are so many paths to great content. This week there was an absolute abundance of community submissions and that makes me a happy cookie. So without further ado, let's check out this edition of the Halo Community Spotlight!

Is it me or does 2019 just keep geting better and better? Baseball is back, the sun is breaking through the clouds, and MCC is definitely still coming to PC. With so many cool projects being worked on inside the studio; Halo MCC on PC, continuous MCC updates, and Halo: Outpost Discovery, it just keeps adding to the feeling that we're in for a good year. However, as much as I'd love to write more about all of our plans for this year, let's just take a closer look at all everything happening...
