You Got Some Halo 3 In My Halo 4

by

TheIncomeTaxes and Insane Alpha Beta found what I think is the coolest Halo 4 easter egg so far – they found images of Tsavo Highway from Halo 3 cleverly hidden in some of the Forge piece reflections. You can see the giant storm cloud and even the broken bridge where the giant Covenant cruiser flies overhead. Go check it out! Thanks, wwm0nkey.(mastrbiggy 09:05:58 UTC)

As Constant As The Morning Star

Last week we saw that Bungie alums Alexander Seropian (Marathon, Halo, Stubbs the Zombie) and Brent Pease (Oni) had formed a new group, Industrial Toys, working on a mobile shooter, Morning Star, bearing more than a passing resemblance to everyone’s favorite green cyborg and purple AI girl game. Now there’s an HD trailer, a two part documentary (one, two) up on their YouTube channel.

All have been added to our movies section tagged “industrialtoys“.

Unsurprisingly, the documentary is planned to have 7 parts.

Welcome to Majestic

by

A couple of days ago, we mentioned ‘Welcome to Landfall’ – and then yesterday, Halo Waypoint released ‘Welcome to Monolith‘. Today, they finish up the series with ‘Welcome to Skyline‘ – if you haven’t checked these out, they’re a great way to get familiar with the maps before you get your hands on them! (The video footage was already seen in the BTS released in last Wednesday’s Bulletin, but the loadout/weapon spawn/overhead content in the articles is great.)(Louis Wu 23:53:03 UTC)

Next week features the release of the second Halo 4 DLC Map Pack featuring three brand new multiplayer spaces: Skyline, Monolith and Landfall. These maps are of the smaller variety catering more to FFA and 4v4 gameplay. You’ll see a lot of Slayer, CTF, KOTH and Regicide on these maps with a few extras thrown in here and there. Ten achievements accompany this map pack as well for a total of 250 Gamerscore. If you have the War Games pass or have bought the limited edition, these maps are free to you, but 800M$ for everyone else. Enjoy

Check out the story at Polygon.

Polygon has a story about artist Joe Cross, who’s done concept art for Dead Space 3 as well as for Bungie’s upcoming shared world shooter, Destiny. That shot of the Pike speeding across the desert? That’s his. What’s more, he’s doing other art for Destiny as well:

“I’m also doing a lot of the in game graphic design for Destiny,” he wrote. “Graphic design is a passion of mine and an aspect of art that is under-valued or under-utilized in video games.”
