The Flood: Forgotten Exile StKft Release
Flood Campaign is a project to bring gameplay as the Flood to Halo CE – we mentioned it about a year ago. They’ve got their first release now – swing by ModDB to read about it, or to download it, or visit YouTube.com to watch the latest trailer. Pretty cool!(Louis Wu 19:29:09 UTC)

Assault on Squad 45 Part 4
It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard from Squad 45 (Part 3 of Assault on Squad 45 was released more than a year ago) – but Part 4 went up recently (it was on Megabloks’ site a couple of weeks ago, and Halo Waypoint yesterday). It’s got some pretty amazing stop-motion action – go watch! (Louis Wu 19:20:42 UTC)

Mail Sackin’
The latest Bungie Mail Sack went live on Friday (as they usually do), but we’ve been slackers – if you haven’t read it yet, go do so. There’s a contest in there that hasn’t been won yet… how good are your puzzle-cracking skills? (Even if they’re not great, the Mail Sack is pretty amazing this week; worth a read no matter what.)(Louis Wu 19:18:14 UTC)

Podtacular 311: Halo Council Interview
Download
This week we join forces with The Halo Council, who has become the leader in bringing the Halo Community news about competitive Halo. Started back in the Fall of last year, it has been the new haven for competitive Halo players to get their fill on all info related to Halo 4 multiplayer. Ever since Halo’s loss of focus on the MLG circuit, the leaders of the competitive Halo community have brought together many pro players and have shown a different light on who they actually are: hardcore Halo fans just like the rest of us. Three people you probably have heard of quite recently join us to give us some history behind The Halo Council and to give us their thoughts on all of the latest Halo 4 info: CyRen, u4iX and LastMan. Enjoy

Halo: A Beautiful New World
Legend, from German site HaloBase, let us know that they’ve put together Halo 4: A Beautiful New World, a video showing off the campaign footage included in recent Behind the Scenes videos from 343. (You can read about it on their site, here.) While you’re checking out their stuff, they’re putting together a contest for German Halo fans – you can win a Halo Anniversary shirt if you share their vid on Facebook! Check it out.(Louis Wu 20:46:46 UTC)

Wait… it’s on the internet!
Sometimes, you might come across content on the internet that isn’t fully accurate. (Hope you were sitting down when you read that.) A few hours ago, the French site Halo Destiny posted this comment on their Facebook page – if you don’t read French, it translates to this:In normal mode, the 4 first Halo 4 campaign missions can be completed within an hour. Bravo life of the game.
This, understandably, might cause some distress if you’ve been anticipating a long campaign in Halo 4. Luckily, we’ve got Frank to bust myths – he posted this at NeoGAF:
That’s interesting, since nobody from the press or the public has played the first four missions. Oh and Rally point C in mission 3 takes 15 minutes with invincibility turned on.
Breathe easy, internet. (Thanks to Hypertrooper for the heads-up. And when Frank says ‘invincibility’, he’s talking about a dev mode option.)(Louis Wu 20:24:59 UTC)
