It’s time to collect our final thoughts about Halo 4 multiplayer and focus a little on the story of Master Chief. This week, Game Informer posted an article giving us some background information about the campaign we will see in Halo 4 involving our favorite Spartan and the return of the imposing Covenant. Those Dino’s just can’t seem to drop a grudge, can they? 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!

From Game Informer:
Most fans have noticed Cortana’s prominent placement on the cover of the latest issue of the magazine. The new Halo team at 343 Industries is aiming to build her up as both a pivotal character in the plot and as a showcase for the new technology behind the scenes. We talked with Frank O’ Connor about the evolution of Cortana throughout the series, why she chooses to be a naked blue lady, and how the impending end of her life affects both Master Chief emotionally and the overall story of Halo 4. Check out the video via the link below and let us know what you think of the new direction for Cortana in the comments section.

Last week, for our Friday Caption Fun festivities, you provided quips for an image featuring a flexible Spartan. Here are the top captions you left for that particular image!
“This is not what I meant when I said we should split the field.” –deluca34
“After much testing, the UNSC realized that the newly developed “Athletics” Armor Ability
would not serve much purpose on the battlefield.” –RespectedTrw123
“Being a gold medal-winning gymnast on Reach, this was the only way Joe knew how to distract him.” –CrawlingShadow9
“Bill found out the hard way that warm-up exercises are for BEFORE the battle, not during.” –Krazy Bomb
“At least he won’t need his ‘English to Blarg-Blarg dictionary’ anymore.” –ChubbyCats95
“Hey Elite dude, check if it still says MAGNUM in Halo: Reach.” –Sqartan1176
“Ok… just going to go back to glassing your planet now… yeah.” –Stephen Osborn
“Time out! I think I pulled a hammy.” –Coux73
“You know the ” If They Came to Hear Me Beg” achievement? Well, I missed.” –Busted Entity
