Whoda thunk Halo fans didn’t like sci-fi?
Shacknews highlighted a tidbit from Josh Holmes’ postmortem of Halo 4 given at GDC last week – you may have missed it if you weren’t watching carefully. Looks like some of the cooler unused guns that have surfaced in Halo 4’s code since release were cut not because they didn’t work – but because they made the game too sci-fi-like… and thereby less relatable. gamerguy2002 brought this to our forum, and added his own thoughts – go chime in yourself!(Louis Wu 20:28:50 UTC)

Concept Art Cornucopia
I stumbled across Thomas Scholes, a concept artist who did a lot of work on Halo 4, a couple of years back – you can find a whole bunch of his work on his blogspot blog, and much of that work has comments if you swing over to his Tumblr page. There are also large versions on this portfolio site. A walk through his tumblr turns even more Halo 4 concept art – there’s new stuff from Sparth (hey, there’s an entirely new SITE from Sparth), as well as cool stuff from Shae Shatz. For concept art lovers, this is a mother lode!(Louis Wu 20:19:54 UTC)

Enjoy the subtle Halo references sometimes spotted when out and about in the real world, and if you have a picture you’d like to submit for possible future inclusion, send it to bsangel[at]halowaypoint.com!

Podtacular 355 – Castle Unveiled
From Dust Storm:A few lucky community members got invited to an early PAX event to play the Castle Map Pack. We were given early access to the Mad Catz Unveiled pre-PAX party and got a first look at the maps dropping on April 8th. All maps were playable including Daybreak, Perdition and Outcast in various game modes such as CTF, Slayer and King of the Hill. Among those community members were people from our good friends over at Ready Up Live, those of which you may already know, but are making their debut podcast appearance representing RUL’s presence at PAX. Public Relations SMG90, Creative Manager Drax and community member Micky 126 and I huddled in their hotel room for a late night recording so we could talk about what we took away from the event, resulting in the following podcast. Enjoy!
