Environment Art of Halo 4

Posted on by

Here is a fantastic article on the environments of Halo 4.

Lots of really good pics there. Here are some of my favorites from that article:

The now iconic “Cauldron”

The Didact’s Cryptum over Requiem:

The Didact at the final scene (SO sweet!):

Requiem vista:

Forward Unto Dawn overlook:

Infinity Starship bay:

Infinity Bridge:

Now I already have the “Art of Halo 4” book, but man, I’d love to have MORE art from the game. A book dedicated to the environments would be AWESOME! Um 343, do you hear me? More money to be made…LOL.

Halo 4 War Games daily challenges: 11-20-12

Posted on by

Okay, I think someone pulled a switcheroo here. I can see completing 9 War Games and MAYBE winning 4 Regicide, but not the other way around as we got it.

Is it me or are Halo 4’s challenges REALLY a challenge? For some they just aren’t worth the extra XP awarded. Srsly. if I win 9 Regicide matches in ONE day…how about a bonus of at least 4500XP? (500 extra for each win).

Whew, looks like I’ll just be playing normally today and not “challenging” myself to get these. It’s a bit disappointing too. When I compare these to Reach’s challenges, I almost never missed those ones and had fun trying for them. Halo 4’s challenges are a bit too tough some times and not worth the effort. I hope BS Angel takes a look at the data to see how many people are actually completing these challenges versus the number of players. That will hopefully help in relaxing the requirements to complete challenges.

Anyone else agree? Disagree?
