The Official Forward Unto Dawn trailer is available both on YouTube, or on Halo Waypoint (watch on your Xbox for higher resolution) – it’s short, it’s really just a teaser… but it’s got ME fired up! Enfinit started a thread on our forum, if you want to discuss it. (Louis Wu 14:16:03 UTC)

343’s Chris Haluke (Halo 4 Lead Designer) spoke to GameReactor a few weeks ago at E3 – the interview went online this week. There’s not a lot that hasn’t been talked about by other people in other interviews – but you should listen just for the recap. Thanks, TheOddOne.(Louis Wu 22:20:15 UTC)

Method on The Commissioning
Method Studios, the FX house behind the Halo: Reach ‘Deliver Hope’ dazzle, was tapped again for the live-action Halo 4 trailer that showed at E3 this year – and if you swing by their website, you’ll find a fantastic summary of the process of building that trailer. It’s a really interesting read (and even contains a few small clues about Halo 4) – thanks to TheOddOne for finding it! (Louis Wu 14:44:09 UTC)

MLG, Halo 4, and E3: Part 1
Halo Waypoint has posted a couple of videos from the after-hours event at E3 this year – these videos have been seen before, but not on Waypoint. Nice to have a permanent home for them!(Louis Wu 14:36:22 UTC)

Bitten by the Bug (again)
Chris Bryan was one of the very first people to build fan-made Spartan Armor – we documented his work starting back in 2003. (He was building props even earlier.) Yesterday, we heard from him again – looks like Halo 4 has fired up his creative juices! He sent along this screenshot (larger version here), and tells us that he hopes the final product will be finished before November 6! Go Chris!(Louis Wu 14:25:22 UTC)

Waypoint Weekly Wrap-Up – 6.30.12
You’re a busy person, and we have a thing for releasing as much Halo-related content our multi-fingered appendages can handle.

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!

Fails of the Weak 93
There’s a new Fails of the Weak episode from the Achievement Hunter crew – you can watch it on AH.com or on YouTube. Some impressive AI fails… and even more ridiculous human fails. The not knowing what a Moa was called was pretty distracting. Thanks, Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 16:19:29 UTC)
