Why
Currently I am a Board member for IPUL, and I am required to do fundraising but since I’m a gamer and I love Halo, I figured I would combine the two and create a huge annual fundraiser. I know that most bidders don’t know about IPUL, so I decided to donate to Child’s Play as well.

Podtacular 318: Halo 4 Progression System
Download
Despite Waypoint being down during the normally slated time for the bulletin‘s release, one got released a day later dropping information about the Halo 4 progression system. It is similar to Reach’s progression system where you gain Spartan Ranks based on your experience. Sorry pro players, no skill-based ranking system. There’s also information about loadouts, visual customization, specializations, challenges, and commendations. There’s also a special former co-host who makes an appearance in this show. EnjoyUPDATE: There will be a skill-based ranking system that has not been discussed yet.
