  • Potential playlists for the month of February include both FFA and a new and improved version of Team Snipers.
  • Late February will also bring both a Title Update and the Majestic Map Pack (which includes two small maps and one medium-sized map) to Halo 4 as well. Expect more information on all of those things next month.

What playlist and/or specialization are you looking forward to the most?

Halo 4 Infinity Challenge Playlist Update 4 – Dominion

Posted on by

Dominion Inf Challenge

Sorry about the lack of updates. 343 has been enjoying the holiday break and hopefully this Thursday a regular HaloWaypoint Bulletin will be posted. Last week’s playlist for the Halo 4 Infinity Challenge contest was Regicide. I can assure you, we’re all probably sick of people camping for King bonuses, and/or boosting, and/or Active Camo camping, but that’s in the past now.

For the last week of qualifying, the focus will be on Dominion. So party up, capture those bases, and hopefully start a Sudden Death or two 😉

HaloWaypoint has been kind enough to provide some pointers for Dominion, which is a new multiplayer game mode to the Halo franchise.

“In this mode, you’ll need to work with your team to capture, fortify and resupply bases in order to win. To maximize your point total in this playlist, stay focused on the objective – while others may be focusing on kills, you may able to get several hundred points by sneakily capturing and defending bases. Remember that you also get points for destroying turrets and assisting captures, so sticking with your team is your best bet. This week, the Infinity Challenge playlist replaces the normal Dominion playlist, but you do not need to be registered for the tournament to play Dominion this week.” – HaloWaypoint

Halo 4 Playlist Rotation Discussion – My One Dislike About Halo 4

Posted on by

halo-4-problem-playlists-thumbnail

So as we have all noticed, that Halo 4 has featured rotating playlists every week. With the announcement of a playlist in the Halo Waypoint bulletin on a Thursday or Friday and then implementing the playlist on the following Monday along with other tweaks and minor changes to the multiplayer.

I like the idea of rotating playlists, but I find the time period of 1 week to be to short to prove the playlists popularity (at least fairly). Some would prefer to have all playlists available now and have them stay, but that would require more resources on 343’s part.

What are your thoughts?

PS. Yes there are other issues with the game that the community is very vocal about, but I for one am not going to fault 343 Industries for features they have promises to work on. I am happily awaiting the arrival of the file share system and CSR ranks, both are items that should hopefully show major improvements after studying the game post-release.

As the title says, this is a tutorial on how to fly a pelican on the mission Reclaimer (the one with the mammoth). The glitch has been updated and is no longer as difficult and now only requires 2 players to do so.

Thanks to ForgeWorldMaps and SomeFilthyCasuals for providing this video tutorial.

So try it out and I hope you enjoyed,

Halo 4 Top 5 Plays of the Week! – Episode 1

Halo-4-Top-5-Plays

Here it is my first ever Top 5 series. I hope you guys enjoy! Feedback would be greatly appreciated and as always I’m looking for more clips so submit them to the link here.

I’m trying to make my Top 5 series exciting and entertaining by making my own style. I will occasionally let clips speak for themselves, but sometimes that can be boring to watch without some sort of commentary over top as many times people don’t notice everything at first glance.

Miniature Banshee Glitch in Halo 4!

So my friend ForgeWorldMaps is here showing us how to get the Mini Banshee Easter egg on the mission Composer in Halo 4’s Campaign. It’s similar to the miniature Covenant Easter egg in Spartan Ops. It’s a fully working banshee just super small, and it makes Master Chief look like he is flying like superman.

He also shows us how to get out of the map and enjoy flying it within the amazing Halo 4 sky box.

Halo 4 News – 2 New Armor Abilities?! Teleport + Hacker

Posted on by

According to many reports within the Halo community, 2 armor abilities have been found deep within the code of the game.

These two are being called “Teleport” and “Hacker”. With teleport acting similar to the Promethean Knights ability to teleport, “bending time and space“, to different areas. And Hacker having the ability to disable the usage of an enemies armor ability (i.e. stop a jet pack, stop the usage of active camo, etc…)

It is unknown at this time whether these abilities are new or old bits of code. They may appear in future updates or in Halo 5 or Halo 6. What is known is that 343 did say in an interview a while ago talking about a potential teleportation armor ability similar to the Promethean Knights ability to teleport. But that has since been scrapped. So perhaps these are rejected ideas that still partially exist in the games code.

What are your thoughts?

No Skill. A Video Game Argument

Posted on by

A legendary argument for the ages. That needs to stop now, but it unfortunately won’t. It’s like the classic Coke vs Pepsi arguement.

FYI, Coke FTW 😉
