We’ve all seen the multiplayer footage from E3, Comic Con and RTX, but few have actually played the game and experienced it for themselves. That is where our two guests come into play: Nak3d Eli and Bravo. They give us a rundown on how Halo 4 plays compared to past Halo games and what you can come to expect if you have the chance to go to PAX, which is only two weeks away. Enjoy
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!

Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a rather unusual splatter. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!
“This is the third image of the Curiosity landing that NASA didn’t want the public to see.” –LUDA04
“After the results of several experiments, Spartans learned to tread lightly.” –m3rkMS
“Wheelhicular Manslaughter!” –BIG ERN 108
“Legend has it that Noble Team member Kat was just as bad at changing tires as she was at driving.” –KINGCOBRADUDE
“And so young Blue had learned to “track” his enemies, just not in the way his UNSC instructors tried to teach him.” –m3rkMS
“I’m sooooo tired! Get it…because I said tire…ah, forget it.” –V01T41RE
“The deadly Veloci-splattor just needed some fine-tuning to attack the Covenant instead.” –Heroic Snorro
“Freddy always took the idea of being the “wheelman” too seriously.” –Steph7297
“And on that day, Red Team learned that replacing someone’s parachute with a tire was NOT a good practical joke.” –petetheduck
Now that we’ve wrapped up that picture, let’s start a new one. Up for your captioning pleasure this week is an image featuring a super sneaky Spartan. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!
