"Halo 4: I Get a Woman!" - Sgt. Mjr. A.J. Johnson, RIP

I'm done buying Legendary-type editions (that come with scale models of blah). Thankfully they're only doing a LE SKU this time around, so no added bulk and nonsense to go with the other, more interesting goodies (from what I understand, the LE may come with a dev diary, like what H3 had)

[Hotrod]

That's fine. As long as you get your moneys worth. What's in the Limited Edition? A replica Infinity? I'd buy it just for that.

It comes with free access to the first three map packs (a kind of season's pass, if you will), a UNSC Infinity briefing packet (in the style of Halsey's Journal from Reach's LE), the extended cut to Forward Unto Dawn, early unlock for six specializations in-game (which is dumb, but whatever) and in-game content, being an armour skin, Assault Rifle skin and emblem.

So 30$ for the map packs, and 10$ for the packet, Forward Unto Dawn, specializations, in-game content and a sexy metal case. Seems worth it to me.

Oh, and no Legendary Edition this time around.

3 Map packs are worth like $30 anyway. I wish they'd go back to larger map packs for Halo like they did with H2. 3 new maps just gets overplayed to quick.

What happened to the guys who did all those live-action marketing shorts? They sure would have came in handy right about now.

Bungie was the studio responsible for that. You see, they didn't have the experience to do live action so they hired someone who specialized in it to do so.

A detailed look at bringing the Master Chief to life in the new live action web series, Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn.



Filmed in Vancouver on the set of Forward Unto Dawn, this video details the development of the Master Chief, both creatively and physically. Featuring interviews with Stewart Hendler (Director of Forward Unto Dawn), Daniel Cudmore (actor and suit performer) and David Monzingo (Legacy Effects).

Saucy sauce with a saucy video.

Found another playthrough and commentary of the Campaign mission they showed. No big deal aside from something horrendous at 5:10...it still gives me shivers (hint: me. ODX. animator). Just after that though the guy commentates about how the Lightrifle has two firing modes where it's either single shot, or burst with single-shot in zoom (like the H2 Beta BR):

Really, the suit isn't that bad. Looks like it's the framing of the shots that makes it look bad. I dont know why, but with such an iconic archetype, when you stick him in the camera like they have been it winds up causing him to look like a skinny nerd with too much time on his hands.

My issue isn't so much with the design, but with material of the armor. It looks like MegaBlock toy plastic crud. What happened to the kickass Halo Reach costumes?

[Tnnaas]

The only part that stuck out to me was the codpiece.

WHOOOOOOOOOO!

But seriously, parts of it look like a cheap Halloween costume.

This week's HBO is actually pretty good: https://halo.xbox.com/blogs/Headline...tin-71812.aspx

And has some good pics of SDCC-goers dressed in surprisingly good MJOLNIR
