Keep it clean!
PyroSporker16 noticed some familiar text on the screens inside the Mammoth on Halo 4's Reclaimer... interesting choice of content! (Louis Wu 19:52:56 UTC)

Flying a Pelican on Reclaimer
Whoa. Did you know that you can fly a pelican in Reclaimer? (Not Shutdown, where you START in a Pelican... the level BEFORE that. The one with the Mammoth.) Nowise10 discovered this last night, and filmed it in tutorial form. (I also had no idea it had a secondary fire mode... but that's probably just me being clueless.) Pretty awesome stuff!

Hunting Achievements - or just fun
More AchievementHunter content for you: we'll start with a Let's Play on the Crimson Maps (Episode 2, to be specific). 25 minutes of AH crew abusing each other, both verbally and in-game. Pretty fun! (Thanks, Wahrer Machine.) When you're done with that, check out Achievement HORSE 107 - again, it's PIG, and Ray and Jack face off in some pretty cool maps. Watch this on AH.com or YouTube - thanks, Nikko B201. (Louis Wu 18:36:33 UTC)

A look at what almost was
Funky. A Halo 4 player named Lord Zedd discovered a couple of Armor Abilities that were pulled from normal play... but without disabling the actual code. He's activated these on Harvest (via modding), and you can see how they work in a video from Clicked. Nowise10, who brought this to the attention of NeoGAF, took a bunch of screenshots if you don't have time for a video. The first ability is 'Teleport' - much like what the Promethean Knights can do in Campaign. The second is 'Hacker' - it lets you turn off the Armor Ability of your enemy. Check 'em out!

A glorious look back
uberfoop went back to Halo 3: ODST's campaign and found quite a bit worth appreciating. His post is dripping with cool screenshots and fun videos - nostalgia is growing! (You may have missed some of the clever little bits Bungie put into this game, the first time through; uberfoop will help you see them now.) I may have to run through that campaign again soon...

4-player System Link Coop... for Halo CE
Whoa. Some folks at Modacity have managed to get 4-player Coop working for Halo CE, in System Link. (The original game supported only two-player splitscreen.) Awesome! Thanks, orznge. (Louis Wu 17:30:24 UTC)

Crimson Map Pack issues for Season Pass owners
If you bought a season pass for the Crimson Map Pack, you might have already noticed that you cannot download your maps yet. Xbox LIVE Marketplace is working on the problem - keep an eye on the Service Status page for updates. Update: 2pm EST - problem seems to be fixed; if your Xbox was on, shut it down and restart. If you head to the War Games Lobby, you should see the Crimson DLC list appearing, and selecting it will give you a chance to download the maps. (Louis Wu 17:26:01 UTC)

2012 VGAs - Now with More Halo
Spike's Video Game Awards were last night - you can watch the entire 2-hour extravaganza on their website now. If your time is limited, here's the key stuff: you can watch the new Spartan Ops trailer by starting at around 1:42:30 (if you care about the intro, or 1:43:10 if you don't). You can also watch it on Kotaku, if you'd rather. Other timestamps worth checking out: 13:45, 38:30. (If you need to save time, we've archived these two bits here and here.) In terms of awards, Halo 4 took home Best Xbox 360 Game and Best Graphics. Not too shabby!

TL;DR - because sometimes you WTRL
Anyone who's read this site for any length of time has seen that a lot of good Halo content comes out of the NeoGAF forum - but finding older gems becomes difficult because there is just so much discussion with very little structure. nscuDuncan has decided to start archiving posts he really enjoys, to make them easier to get back to in the future. Keep an eye on the new 'TL;DR' section of HaloGAF.com! First up - a thoughtful what-if post by FyreWulff about Forge. (Louis Wu 15:57:20 UTC)

Crimson Map Pack Assets Released
The Crimson Map Pack is the first of three known DLC packs - and it's coming in less than two weeks. We knew this last week - but now there is official info. Swing by the Xbox.com Press Center for promo screenshots and a 90-second HD teaser. (We've put up a local version if you'd like streaming instead of WMV.) Update: Looks like it's already up on YouTube... and our forum is not really happy with what they see. (Louis Wu 20:27:09 UTC)

The Environment Art of Halo 4
Polycount has an article put together by members of 343's Environment Art team - it talks about they went about building those oh-so-pretty environments we've been playing through. Great read! Thanks, TDSpiral. (Louis Wu 21:14:45 UTC)

Halo 4 Screenshots - on your computer
HaLo2FrEeEk stopped in to announce that he's updated his Halo Screenshot Extractor (read about it on his site) - it now supports grabbing screenshots en masse from Halo 3, ODST, Reach: Beta, Reach, and Halo 4. Nice! (Especially nice since the official tools don't exist yet!) It's a Windows executable, and the source code is available, too.

Halo 4 Green Screen Tutorial
GeneticSpartan stopped in to let us know he'd recorded a green screen tutorial for Halo 4 - including setting up the map you'll need. Watch it, and then get to making some cool machinima! (Louis Wu 16:55:04 UTC)

T-Rex Hands!
Captain Spark spent a little time in Shutdown's vehicle bay, and recorded 30 Marine audio clips. Some of them are hilarious! (He's not starting up collecting dialogue again... but that doesn't mean we wouldn't set up a page for it if people started submitting clips.)

Halo 4 Achievement Guide(s)
MixMaker1 let us know that he's started a video Halo 4 Achievement Guide - the first installment covers the Terminals. Take a look! (Seraph XXVII pointed out a text-based guide at Xbox360Achievements, if that works better for your brain.) (Louis Wu 19:05:45 UTC)

The Expanded View
The Panorama truck came around twice today - and there's tasty goodies to be had both times! Despite a lack of Screenshot upload functionality so far in Halo 4, Beorn put up a series of gorgeous shots... and Hedgemony followed soon after with his own collection (plus one more). Not that it didn't before... but they make this game look beautiful.

Shield and Sword - the Wrapup
There is more Halo 4 content out there than you can shake a Gravity Hammer at - let's start with some local stuff. Leviathan has been posting a series of thought experiments - he calls the project 'Shield and Sword', and it shows, via text, sketches, maps, and more, how he might have gone about making a Halo-related campaign. The final bits were ready to go this weekend - but we were offline. He posted them on his personal blog, but we've put up local copies, so that the full run is visible on our forum, as he intended it to be. Check out Mission Seven: United, and when you're through, jump over to The Final Threads (missions eight and nine, plus an epilogue). The forum is still closed for comments - but it will reopen tomorrow, so you can add your thoughts then! (Louis Wu 19:07:59 UTC)

German Gameplay from FirstLook
samurai let us know that HaloOrbit has posted a FirstLook 2012 hands-on article - in includes videos showing Regicide on Exile (offscreen, recorded at FirstLook). Text is in German, but readable even with a Google translation. (Louis Wu 17:40:28 UTC)
