Master Chiefs in the war room
Microsoft.com has an article about the back end systems that will make your Halo 4 experience magical - go read! Thanks, Arithmomaniac. Update: oddly enough, there's ANOTHER article about the backend framework Halo 4 is built on, over at Yahoo. I guess it's that sort of day. Thanks, XXLChicken. (Louis Wu 19:00:58 UTC) (permalink)

Halo 4 takes over Lichtenstein
A rather elaborate promotional event took place in Lichtenstein recently - the first word leaked out yesterday when Nak3d Eli posted his teaser, but that trickle of information has turned into a flood. Last night, Hedgemony pointed out a Tweet by bs angel showing Jen Taylor and some militarily-dressed folks... and this morning video has been showing up all over the place. Shadders pointed out this version, while Xbox UK posted this one, and Laird found a couple as well. Electronic Theatre has a small writeup, if you would rather have words, and the Xbox.com Press Center has promo pics. (If you'd rather not download them, Shadders put up a scrollable gallery.) Congrats to the fans who got to participate - go live vicariously! Update: both movies are now available for high-res download from the Xbox.com Press Center (thanks, Samusaaron3).
