    From CruelLEGACEY and Dust Storm:

    The Waypoint Community Modcast and Podtacular join forces (ModTacular!!!) to discuss the latest Halo 4 coverage from Game Informer magazine, as well as the announcement of the game’s lead composer!

    Lots of new Halo 4 info to go over this week thanks to the recent Game Informer feature article. The announcement of Neil Davidge as Halo 4?s lead composer sparks a lot of discussion, before we cap things off with a look at the community’s reaction to the future of the Halo franchise.

    From ExaltionVids:

    The first Halo 4 montage ever released on YouTube, gameplay by Conan O’Brien, editing by ExaltionVids.

    This Halo 4 montage is meant for entertainment and is not to be taken seriously. This montage features high not-multikills such as the single kill on the other player who doesn’t seem to have a gamertag. Conan is the first person to have a Halo 4 montage because he’s one of the best Halo 4 players out there!

    Halo: Reach Panoramas



    From Hyokin:

    Last week nomis78 treated you to some of our favorite examples of mishaps and malfunctions, most of them concerning explosions of one form or another. Sometimes the Spartans just need to shift gears away from all that and take a leisurely drive in the varied landscapes of Halo and as always, when they do, we’re there to capture the moment in our panoramas.

    So check your mirrors, slide up your stick shift, and bring down the pedal because this week’s theme is Vehicular Mayhem!

    My favorite weapon in the Halo series is the shotgun, so I made my favorite version aesthetically. Trigger works, pump action works, and shells can be loaded and ejected. Thanks for viewing!

    From Game Informer:

    In the second story for our week of multiplayer coverage, we want to introduce and detail one of the largest new additions to the Halo package: the co-op mode called Spartan Ops. Broken up into seasons, these weekly doses of videos coupled with missions attempt to bring Halo fans back to the game on a regular basis, and give campaign players a reason to engage with the new narrative-focused multiplayer experience. Watch the video via the link below to hear creative director Josh Holmes and lead Spartan Ops designer Chris Haluke explain the new mode and how they hope it will offer an inviting entrance into the integrated multiplayer world of Halo 4.

    Josh Holmes (Halo 4’s creative director) stopped into our forum this morning to clarify a small (but important!) bit of information – if you were worried that an ‘unlock with experience’ system would keep you from being able to pick up weapons you haven’t ‘earned’ yet… worry no more. Read his post for more details. Update: I noticed a similarly useful note over at NeoGAF, this time from Frankie. It’s like they want us to take deep breaths, or something…(Louis Wu 18:14:18 UTC)

    In case you need to know (to the SECOND) how much time you have before Halo 4 releases, Firestream put up a site for the countdown. (It looks to be set to midnight, Pacific time, so most people in the world will be able to get their hands on it a bit before it reaches zero… but it’s pretty close.) Update: Firestream has added a smaller version you can embed on your site. Go look. (Louis Wu 18:08:59 UTC)

    Halo 4 Multiplayer Reveal


    Today’s Sparkast comes to you earlier than hinted, because we wanted to fill the hours between the launch date announce, and the Conan O’Brien show this evening. In this special edition, Josh Holmes, Kevin Franklin and Brad Welch wax rhapsodical and explanational about some of the new features in Halo 4’s MP suite, and explain some of those systems and ideas in depth. Ostensibly this is to calm some of the controversy, but realistically we will probably have to do a podcast about the podcast! Jokes aside, it’s a pretty fascinating insight into the folks and features integral to the experience. Go listen! And send David Ellis get well vibes, because he’s got the lurgy.

David Ellis, Frank O’Connor, Brad Welch, Josh Holmes, and Kevin Franklin (Lead Competitive Multiplayer Designer) discuss recent release info, and questions people have been expressing, and answers to said questions. (Have you been wondering about ‘random weapon drops’? Yep, it’s in there.) Go! (Thanks, CyReN.)(Louis Wu 19:09:50 UTC)
