On this episode, we talk a little about the two gameplay videos 343i released on Tuesday concerning War Games and Spartan Ops. Both of these are part of the Infinity multiplayer experience where you can put your Spartan IV through training on the training deck of the Infinity through War Games to prepare you for Requiem Spartan Operations. We have lots of little goodies shown to us in terms of multiplayer functionality. Raxus Reaper from the community joins us this week in the guest host seat. Enjoy

Another Fan Writeup
NeoGAF’s mastrbiggy spent all day yesterday in the Halo 4 line, and then went and played MORE Halo 4 at an after-show party. He wrote up his impressions over at NeoGAF – great read! (Fan writeups are some of the most useful impression-style articles there are; these are people who love playing Halo, getting their hands on something new and sharing their thoughts. They’re not journalists being sent out to cover the game of the week – they’re people who are intimately acquainted with the series, and know what they like and don’t like.)(Louis Wu 17:02:11 UTC)

Pro Rountable on Halo 4 Weapons
Speaking of pro advice, Bravo got together with Walshy and BesT Man for a pretty epic 20-minute discussion on their experience with the weapons in Halo 4. If you’ve got the time, it’s a really interesting watch! If you don’t have the time, it’ll still be interesting, you just won’t get to see it. Thanks daedalius.(GrimBrother One 15:51:24 UTC)

Podtacular 293: Halo 4 at E3 2012
Download
Today was the first day of E3 2012 and what better way to start off the Xbox Media Briefing with some Live-action, Halo 4 Campaign demo to satisfy our hunger for more Halo goodies. 343i made a huge impression on everyone today and put up an awesome show. There are so many tid-bits from today’s demo to take away from, including the new Prometian enemies and weapons, the joining of the Infinity and Master Chief in the campaign, Cortana’s rampancy, and much more. We tried to hit all the topics of information that came out today, but we are sure to see more throughout the duration of the expo. Community member UnrealCh13f joins us for this show as well as short guest appearances from Nak3dEli and Greenskull who graciously game us some time in the midst of their busy video editing, which I will soon endeavor. Enjoy
