    Office of Halo Intelligence, or OHI for short, is a semi-regular diary-type feature brought to you by various members of the Halo 4 development team. Kiki Wolfkill, Executive Producer of Halo 4, kindly agreed to write the second entry. We hope you enjoy an inside look at the making of our next title!

    From the 1.25.12 edition of the Halo Bulletin:

    Sweet! I feel honored to get to contribute a little blurb to this week’s Bulletin. I’ll do my best to try to keep you entertained for at least 15 seconds with all sorts of savory and unsavory details about the goings-on here on the Halo 4 team. In all seriousness, this team is doing some extraordinary work, and I look forward to being able to share more of their heroic deeds periodically over the next few months.

    So, what the hell are we up to? Well, as even Kotaku noticed, Seattle was hit with a Snowpocalypse of proportions unseen since, wait for it…. 2011. Some 343-ers were stranded at home, racking up gamerscore and ruining their futures with hours of TV viewing (my marathons of choice: Downton Abbey and Spartacus). Now we’re back and man, catch-up is a b****.

    We’ve had an action-packed week of internal mission reviews, a deep-dive with the Marketing and PR teams, and a quick little exec review thrown in for good measure. It may sound like a lot of reviews and that’s because it is…. we are in full execution mode. There are hundreds of moving parts across 343 and Microsoft Studios that need to be aligned and coordinated—now is the time to get all our ducks in a row. While it’s been a little hectic making up for last week’s snow days and going through these reviews, it’s always invigorating to be able to get the game in front of folks who aren’t staring at it every minute of every day. I do look forward to getting back to our normal routine of game-building, playtesting, and general creative rabble-rousing. More on this later.

    Oh—did I mention that my favorite hour this week was our music review? Magic….

    RedGrimRune stopped in to let us know that his latest 6th Circle comic has a (small) Halo reference in it – I’m not sure I’d want to spend time with the guy in that room!(Louis Wu 15:50:25 UTC)

    According to today’s Idle Duck comic, it’s actually the last daily comic he’s going to be doing. (There will be plenty of other stuff, apparently.) So go enjoy the last three – today’s, yesterday’s (are you having trouble keeping track of what you play?), and Wednesday’s (some packages need more care than others).(Louis Wu 13:06:54 UTC)

    If the post at ToyNews last month didn’t give you confidence about the release of die-cast Halo vehicles by Jada Toys, there is now an official press release on Halo Waypoint. No new info – but ‘Autumn 2012’ has changed to ‘August 2012’, which is always a nice thing for people waiting. Thanks, Imrane-117.(Louis Wu 12:49:38 UTC)

    Halo: Helljumper Episode 1 was released yesterday – and it’s a pretty impressive piece of work! 13 minutes long, the live action short follows an ODST through training and into the field – and into battle with the Covenant. It uses Tobias Buckell’s short story ‘Dirt’ (found in Halo Evolutions) as a roadmap. Go watch this! And support the group – they’re doing some amazing stuff!(Louis Wu 10:58:26 UTC)

    The Halo Waypoint forums are currently down for maintenance. Once we’re done clearing out all the cobwebs, you’ll be able to once again satisfy your craving for thought-provoking, in-depth Halo discussion.

    In the meantime, playing some Halo may help pass the time. Post your gamertag in a comment if you’re looking to fill your online party!

    UPDATE: Forums are back up. Have at it!

    From SillyGoose:

    So, I forget exactly how I came about editing for Synister. I think he just messaged me on AIM or something asking if I would edit for him. So I said yes, because I knew him from SingleHaloClips and I knew he had some beast clips. Then it took us a week to choose songs. Another week of me putting off editing. Then another two weeks of editing and done. Enjoy da ‘tage!

    Two new videos from the Achievement Hunter guys this time around – a game of PIG between Michael and AH staffer Ray (entertaining) is available at both AH.com and YouTube, and the Things To Do In series grows with an entry called ‘RBI Halo’ (which seems really dumb), also available on both AH.com and YouTube. Thanks, hezekiah.(Louis Wu 15:26:44 UTC)
