Waypoint Weekly Wrap-Up – 9.22.12
You’re a busy person, and we have a thing for releasing as much Halo-related content our multi-fingered appendages can handle. That means—assuming you aren’t a speed reading super-soldier—you probably missed a few stories along the way. Not only do we forgive you, but we’ll also happily provide a convenient weekly wrap-up of absolutely everything we covered during the last seven days. Don’t worry about saying thank you. We’d rather you spend that time soaking in the goodness that is this entertaining collection of articles. Off you go!

Podtacular 312: Making Prometheans, Covenant Weaponry
Download | Shownotes
With last week being the show that broke records (at least while I’ve been doing the show), we are making up for last weeks bulletin and covering this week’s as well. The Making Halo 4: Part 2 introduces us to the Prometheans: the warrior class of the Forerunners. The Knights are the centerpiece of the new enemy class, and with the cohesion of the new enemy types, prioritization is going to be key when you run into a group of them. Many of the Covenant classics are making a comeback in Halo 4′s arsenal of Covenant weapons. The Carbine makes it’s glorious return and the new Storm Rifle is the Plasma Rifle/Repeater replacement. Enjoy
