Podtacular 631: Barvo Please… But Thank You

We’ve had the privilege to meet some truly awesome and incredible people in the Halo community and Bravo is no exception. This week’s news takes a sad note as Bravo announced that in about a month, he will be leaving 343 Industries to pursue some of his own projects and spend time with family. Andy “Bravo” Dudynsky started off at 343 as the community manager rising up to a senior producer and HCS caster during his 5+ year tenure. Bravo, if you’re reading this, we can’t thank you enough for all you’ve done while at 343 and look forward to seeing what the future holds. For the rest of the news, we have finally received new maps and modes in the Halo Championship Series for the 2018 season, updates to Warzone, lots of community content, and more.
