Halo 4 Campaign: Shutdown
Download
After the encounter with the mysterious Librarian AI, Master Chief and Cortana refuse to ignore the bigger picture of the threat Didact poses to the humanity and the galaxy. Disobeying orders and with the help of another ally, Chief and Cortana depart Infinity to be left behind in an attempt to prevent the Didact’s departure from Requiem. This mission contains many hidden meanings and complex ideas, so we pulled in FinalPOSTMORTEM from Forward Unto Dawn for this summary. Enjoy

National Grifball Association’s First Forge Contest
From SquirrelBurrito:The NGA is looking for brand new Grifball courts for the next season of its Grifball league! This contest will focus primarily on aesthetics, as forging a Grifball map doesn’t require much knowledge or utilization of level design theory, though some basic principles will be required to be demonstrated.
We’re looking for new and innovative designs that support a fair game of Grifball. Submissions must be functional (including spawns, flat surfaces, etc.) and look professional. Maps can be forged on any of the Forge locations in Halo 4 (Ravine, Impact, or Erosion). We’ll be looking for creativity, as well as great designs!
Contest Submission Deadline: March 17th, 2013

Piloting Composer’s MAC Cannons
I stumbled across this video this morning… it’s pretty amazing. Nowise10 and a friend show you how to actually get in to (and shoot!) the MAC cannons on Composer. (I don’t think I even NOTICED them when I played – and these guys found a way to SHOOT them.) Awesome.(Louis Wu 16:20:47 UTC)

Happy Birthday, Halo Wars!
kornman00 stopped in to point out the fourth anniversary of the release of Halo Wars (and to lament the fact that its DLC is still going for its original price). Too far under the radar for MS to notice? Or just too much of a money-maker to discount? (Heh.)(Louis Wu 13:47:43 UTC)
