Tyrant’s Halo 4 Mythic Walkthrough – Midnight
Tyrant’s released the video portion of the last chapter of his LASO guide for Halo 4 – to be clear, it’s the last chapter of Halo 4, not the last Mythic video from Tyrant. (Infinity is still to come.) His Midnight guide is 25 minutes, and it should provide you with most, if not all, of the tools you’ll need to get through the final mission of Halo 4 in its most difficult mode. As always, entertaining. Thanks, Lawnmower172.(Louis Wu 16:12:33 UTC)

Podtacular – Halo 4 Spartan Ops, Momento Mori
From Dust Storm:
We begin to approach the climax of Spartan Ops: Season 1 as we cover the fifth episode. The UNSC has recovered a Promethean soul, but the secrets that lie within are uncomfortably familiar to everyone on board the Infinity. Dr. Halsey’s ongoing pursuit for knowledge ends up turning against her, Thorne is teleported to Requeim, and it appears that Dr. Glassman may have activated the Librarian AI. What will be the fate of Glassman, Thorne and Halsey? We must wait to find out in the second half of the season. HaloFanForLife once again co-pilots the show in this cliffhanger. Enjoy!

Taking Control of the Mammoth
SomeFilthyCasuals released a tutorial showing how to fly and drive a Mammoth on the level ‘Reclaimer’ – you need to skip certain zone loads and de-load the Mammoth’s AI so that it becomes movable by other vehicles. This is pretty incredible! Thanks, MelkorTheGreat.(mastrbiggy 11:23:42 UTC)

Designing the Prometheans
Postmortem was fortunate enough to attend GDC this year and was kind enough to share some of the things he learned from Scott Warner’s talk on designing the Prometheans. Postmortem provides a detailed overview of the panel, plenty of concept/prototype pictures and even an early gameplay prototype video. The inspirations and design philosophies behind the Prometheans are really fascinating and it’s pretty neat to see what prototyping looks like. Did you know that the Knights originally morphed into balls?! Great information – go read!(mastrbiggy 11:17:12 UTC)

Halo 4 Matchmaking Update: 5.6.13
Today’s Halo 4 Matchmaking update welcomes the addition of new maps into existing playlists, as well as some other fixes and optimization. The maps that have been added were originally showcased in our Community Forge Test and FFA Forge Test playlists, and have since been updated to provide new experiences across multiple game modes. Please note that this list slightly differs from the information provided in the Bulletin – we are working with the below Forgers to ensure that the correct versions of their maps are showcased.
The following maps have been:
Added to SWAT
Black Site by The Fated Fire
Plaza by Smexi Bilzo
Shutout by SaLoT and NLTROOO
Added to Rumble Pit
Black Site by The Fated Fire
Simplex by SaLoT
Scythe by PA1NTS
Serenity by DG Intensity
Opus by SHIFTY time
Removed from Rumble Pit:
Shutout by SaLoT and NLTROOO
Added to Team Objective
Edifice by Redemption1271 (KoTH)
Serenity by DG Intensity (KoTH)
Station 9 by SaLoT (Extraction)
Added to Infinity Slayer
Opus by SHIFTY time
Simplex by SaLoT
Scythe by PA1NTS
Shutout by SaLoT
Added to Flood
Black Site by The Fated Fire
Malice by AgentPaperCraft
Serenity by DG Intensity
Team Snipers
Shutout has been updated with improved respawn points for Team Snipers.
We have decided to remove Shutout (a remake of Halo 2’s Lockout) from the Rumble Pit playlist due to how this version of the map flows in Halo 4. An updated version of Shutout will be placed into SWAT, Team Snipers and Infinity Slayer. Additionally, Simplex will be updated to the Team Throwdown version across all playlists with the exception of Action Sack, as Lightning Flag plays best on the prior version of Simplex due to lines of sight and other factors.
Other Matchmaking updates this week include removing the Grunt Birthday effect from Fiesta Classic in the Action Sack playlist, as well as fixing the suicide respawn point on the map Settler. Lastly, we’ve updated several of the Grifball settings to reflect the correct community settings in regards to Base Player Damage, Grif Damage Resistance, Grif Shield Multiplier and Suicide Penalty.We hope you enjoy these new maps and updated game variants, and we’ll see you on the virtual battlefield.
