  • crespo2006 – A Halo Reach Birthdaytage

    Bungie posted a new Mail Sack last night. As always, it’s a great read – both for the humor and the insight into the minds of the employees who participate. The only bit of Halo-related content is a plea to stop demanding clues about unfound Halo easter eggs. (::sadface::) Go read! (Louis Wu 15:46:57 UTC)

    A reporter with the Toronto Sun got a chance to play some Halo 4 recently, and hosted a Q&A to share with readers what he learned. Some of the questions are pretty silly – some are not. Go check it out! Thanks, angelkimne.(Louis Wu 15:26:51 UTC)

  • GI Halo 4 Multiplayer Hands-On Impressions

    Game Informer posted a new video last night, to wrap up theiir week of Halo 4 Multiplayer coverage.

    From Game Informer:

    To wrap up our week of Halo 4 multiplayer coverage, we wanted to speak directly about our experience with the game. While on the cover story trip visiting 343 Industries, we had a blast playing a couple of multiplayer matches with the developers. There is a lot of new information to process, and we hope this feature serves as a sufficient summary on what to expect when you get your hands on the game this fall. Watch the video via the link below to see Game Informer editors Matt Miller and Bryan Vore share their thoughts on the changes to multiplayer in Halo 4 with associate editor Kyle Hilliard.

    Halo: Reach Screenshot

     

    “Roads? Where we’re going, we don’t need roads.” –a parody
    “The only force more dangerous than the Covenant? A foe humanity has faced from the beginning: mud.” –S1LV3RH00D
    “It’s 2552, and still no flying cars… but who cares?! We have THIS!” –Xenoblade013
    “Okay, just make sure Kat doesn’t… oh -Yoink!-” –VRTX Raptor
    “Though the vehicle was fully capable of it, Bill refused to splatter anyone,
    in fear that they might scratch the paint job.” –Pending storm
    “Why are there six pedals if there are only four directions?” –Blake Jimenez
    “Although initially impressed with the speed of the new Warthog, Spartan-327 Mark soon realized
    that the lack of off-road capabilities severely hindered its performance on the battlefield.” –FSR HoneyBadger
    “They see me rollin’, they be hatin’.” –Coux73
    “Stupid traffic, I should be killing Grunts by now!” –AKG Range



    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 flexible Spartan. Soak in the screenshot, then leave your witty and relevant quip in a comment. Off you go!

  • New Halo 4 Screens appear

    Looks like a content embargo was supposed to end sometime today – Halo 4 assets showed up on Famitsu, in Japan, as well as allgamesbeta, and a French gaming blog. I haven’t seen them on any official press outlets yet – but they’re all over the internet, so it seems pointless to avoid mentioning them. They run the gamut from character shots to concept art to in-game screens – for folks drooling in anticipation of news about Halo 4, it’s a goldmine!(Louis Wu 16:31:48 UTC)

  • ‘Lost’ ASE Episode: Halo Anniversary

    A couple of weeks ago, Cody Miller sneakily added a link to a ‘lost’ episode of the Anger Sadness Envy podcast he does with Narcogen and Blackstar over at Rampancy.net – apologies for glossing over it! It covers the topic of Halo Anniversary, runs about an hour long, and weighs in at 30 mb. Go listen!(Louis Wu 16:30:03 UTC)
