The Eighth Plague
Hedgemony continues his series of amazing comic cover concepts based on the new GEN2 MJOLNIR armor from Halo 4. He started out with CIO, and kept the magic rolling with Oceanic. His latest though, completely near and dear to my heart. Check out his artistic depiction of a valiant Spartan IV battling the most grim of conditions in LOCUS. Go. Look. NOW!

Halo 4 Free - from KontrolFreek
We've had good things to say about KontrolFreek products in the past - and now, they're kicking off a new giveaway. Halo 4 Free is a Facebook-based giveaway - liking their page could net you a Halo 4 console! Take a look. (Louis Wu 17:59:11 UTC) (permalink)
That's hawt.
As part of the Visualizing the Halo Universe contest (first entries due tomorrow - Sunday!), TDSpiral envisioned a battle-ready Forerunner. It's amazing. (Louis Wu 17:38:19 UTC) (permalink)
Out of Nightfall... on Forky
t00lbox pointed out a video that shows you how to use Forklifts to get out of Nightfall - pretty cool! (Louis Wu 17:36:23 UTC) (permalink)
All Halo 4 weapons in one remix video
samurai let us know that the HaloOrbit team put the three Halo 4 weapons videos (Human, Covenant, and Promethean) released by 343 recently together - in one sub-4-minute video. If you can't abide by the idea of switching between videos to see all weapons... this puppy's for you! (Louis Wu 17:20:58 UTC) (permalink)
Fails of the Weak 106
This week's Fails of the Weak contains a lot of Campaign footage - watch it on AH.com or YouTube. Thanks, Nikko B201. (Louis Wu 16:57:22 UTC) (permalink)
Neato Burrito
Chappified stopped by with word of 'Neato Burrito', a Halo 3 dualtage containing footage of himself and his brother (with his brother doing the editing). Check it! (Louis Wu 16:56:03 UTC) (permalink)
Wasn't Left Enough.
This isn't really Halo content, but if you've ever watched MLG Pro Ninja's Halo stream, you know what he sounds like when he's playing... and 'calm' is NOT a good word to describe him, most of the time. Which makes this ad for Rhinomite, a non-violent superhero game, all the more touching. Great piece! Thanks, PNut. (Louis Wu 16:54:21 UTC) (permalink)
More Eurogamer Expo Footage
More gameplay vids have popped up:
- Paul B. commentates on Flood gameplay on Complex (thanks, CyReN)
- UK Player Fuzion shows how the DMR is supposed to be used (thanks again, CyReN)
- Spanish commentary (and really nice quality video) of Infinity Slayer on Haven (thanks, ElzarTheBam)
- Not really gameplay, though it contains gameplay footage - this is more of a walkthrough of the event, very cool for atmosphere (thanks, eeblogue)

Unlock and Load Double XP
Following up on their popular Double XP promotion with Modern Warfare 3, Mountain Dew (and Doritos) will be kicking off Double XP for Halo 4, starting on October 14. The site is currently just a teaser placeholder... but the rules can be made visible, for anyone who wants to read them. (The site goes officially live on October 1.) Looks like drinking Dew and munching Doritos will let you double the rate of experience earned in-game... and get you entered for a few bigger prizes. Take a look! (Louis Wu 16:41:54 UTC) (permalink)
Moments: The Horror Of Installation 04
GameInformer took a look back at one of the scariest levels of the first Halo title - great read! Thanks, Hypertrooper. (Louis Wu 16:35:43 UTC) (permalink)
