Train Dodger did a nice job of summarizing the Halo 4 helmets we’ve seen so far (with links for your edification). David Ellis wouldn’t confirm a final total for me yesterday, but he would say that Halo 4 will have more helmets than Halo: Reach. Nice!(Louis Wu 16:08:27 UTC)

pete_the_duck continues to riff on the Halo 4 reveals with his webcomics – the latest one, ‘Some type of defense AI‘, shows a Promethean Watcher in a rare moment of unwinding.(Louis Wu 16:06:56 UTC)

The Achievement Hunter guys posted the newest Halo HORSE episode (AH.com | YouTube) – Burnie and Miles fight for the chance to advance to Round 2 in the office tournament. Burnie was 0-3 in HORSE going into this match – but his commentary is worth the watch, even if his record doesn’t give you hope that Miles will get a lot of competition. (Spoiler alert – Miles gets competition.) Thanks, Nikko B201.(Louis Wu 16:05:07 UTC)

Absolutely worth a listen if you’ve got the time!(GrimBrother One 14:29:36 UTC)
