Michael and Gavin take the reins of the latest Fails of the Weak – I have to say, the attempted trick Banshee Flight on Forge Island actually brought out an unexpected laugh. You can watch it on AchievementHunter.com or YouTube. Thanks, as usual, to Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 16:46:44 UTC)

Title Update 1.04.01
If you’ve jumped on to Halo 4 in the last day or so, you might have noticed a small update pushed to you. This update had one purpose – to improve the death marker. It is now red, not white – and it sticks to to the location of the death, not the Spartan’s body. Yay! Thanks, rowboat 000.(Louis Wu 16:40:40 UTC)

The Halo 4 Mythic Difficulty Walkthrough
From MythicTyrant:
Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Halo 4 Mythic Difficulty! This can also be classified as LASO (Legendary All Skulls On). As you know, my name is The Tyrant, and I have been championing this mode of hardness for five years. Quite a bit has happened since the last time I embarked on this incredible journey, so let’s do a bit of re-cap, shall we?
The concept of “Mythic Difficulty” first originated with Halo 3. Since the Campaign was significantly easier than the previous installments, I felt it necessary to raise the bar a notch. So now, you have a “Mythic” mode which is just another way of saying “Single-Segment Legendary All Skulls On”. The Skulls, of course, are just a way of amplifying the difficulty of a Halo game.
I’d like to take a moment to thank RC Master, AuraSoldier313, Sliding Ghost, Michael W Smith, Old & Achy and the Mythic Community for doing much of the pioneering for Halo 4 Mythic. These men culled the odds without walkthroughs or tips, and many of the tricks you are about to receive originated from them. Well done, my Mythic Brethren.
Other shout outs go to Nak3d Eli, Greenskull, Goosechecka, Jessica Brohard, Jessica Shea, Bijou and Hannah Noble for further encouraging my Mythic antics. I tip my hat to you all for not just the aid you brought to mythictyrant.com, but also your great contributions to the Halo community as a whole. Keep up the fantastic work!
And one final shout out goes to my amazing friend Lawnmower. Honor this man. For without his extremely generous aid, the guides I’m about to bring you wouldn’t exist. You are a staple in the Halo community, my friend, and you helped make Mythic Difficulty what it is today!

Podtacular 367: Same Old Song
Download | Shownotes
Over the last few weeks, 343i has been releasing small updates about the weapon balance tuning and updates to the matchmaking playlists in the Halo bulletins. In this week’s bulletin, another interview was done by yet another visitor and we’ll undoubtedly have more in future bulletins. New Forge maps are slated to be added to matchmaking playlists soon with more information revealed on which maps specifically next week. Unfortunately, Halo 4 is approaching the end of it’s mainstream lifespan and the bulletins hold very little information in them. We’ll begin to branch out into other areas other than just the bulletin starting next week. Enjoy
