Interesting confirmation – over at the Waypoint forums, Frankie has confirmed that you will not be fighting the Flood in Halo 4.

It is our first official Modtacular as we join forces from the good folks over at the Waypoint Community Modcast. It was inevitable for both of our shows to come together and it has finally happened. This certainly won’t be the last time either. We are joined by CruelLEGACEY and his crew of Waypoint Moderators to discuss officially the details released in the latest issue of Game Informer. 343i also released a first look into the composer for Halo 4. The music being the game is nothing short from amazing. Here’s the link to the post that GrimBrother One read out regarding the direction 343i is taking Halo. Enjoy

CyReN dropped by to let us know that TheHaloCouncil is going to be launching a new community show tonight on their stream. Dubbed “Social Skirmish”, the show will focus on various news and topics of debate from around the Halo Community, from casual to competitive. You can catch the stream here at 10pm est tonight. If you’ve got the time, definitely go and check it out!(GrimBrother One 21:05:36 UTC)

The Lionheart sent word that there are some videos to be viewed from the Venerance crew – Venerance is a Crysis 2 Halo mod. Check ’em!(Louis Wu 19:02:58 UTC)

We pointed out an on-the-fly transcription of the Neil Davidge Facebook chat yesterday – but if you want something more complete, check out Little English Halo Blog’s reconstruction. Read it from bottom to top!(Louis Wu 19:01:19 UTC)

While we don’t highlight editorial-style forum posts very often, I really think you should take a look at this one. Crafted lovingly by our very own long-time contributor Hedgemony, he paints a truly inspiring picture of his very personal feelings toward the Halo franchise and the direction it’s heading. The post has even gathered the attention of 343 Industries’ employees, and certainly deserves at least a passing glance by anyone reading this newspost. If you have a moment, definitely check this out. (GrimBrother One 14:06:32 UTC)

This week during PAX East, some Halo 4 information in the latest issue of Game Informer got leaked to the public. While it’s still not technically official (when this was recorded), there is reason to believe that most of the information in the leak is accurate, and that’s what we’re here to talk about. We also have Eagleburn from the Halo sub-reddit to promote the first Reddit Halo tourney. It’s still not too late to sign up, so go check it out. Enjoy

Rolling Stone has a small piece on Neil Davidge’s move to Halo 4 – always good to be noticed by the big boys! Thanks, Rengaw12.(Louis Wu 21:03:26 UTC)

Game Informer has begun to release its month-long flood of Halo 4 info on its Halo 4 Hub – there’s a trailer for what’s to come (thanks, Pok3R Fac3D), and a great pair of videos focusing on Sotaro Tojima, Halo 4’s audio director: the first is on the hub itself, the second is a bonus on YouTube. Go watch! (Louis Wu 20:36:37 UTC)

If you listened to the YouTube version of the Halo 4 Soundtrack sample, and wished you’d had a downloadable MP3… David Ellis has your back. Grab a copy from Halo Waypoint here.(Louis Wu 20:16:24 UTC)
