Here are some of the articles I have planned for HFFL for the rest of November and December:

• Mega Bloks Forward Unto Dawn set: This continuing article shows the progressive build of the large Mega Bloks model with over 2800 pieces.
• McFarlane Series 2 Halo 4 figures: I’ve got my hands on Cortana, a Watcher, and the Blue Soldier figure. I’ll be reviewing those, then as soon as I get the Crawler, that will follow.
• War Games map reviews: Here I’ll take a more in depth look at the 10 multiplayer maps as well as the 3 Forge maps. I’ll discuss what tactics I’ve seen develop, loadouts that may help you on the specific map and so more.
• Spartan Ops mission reviews: As of this writing there are 15 missions. This will be an ongoing article detailing each mission, what you need to do to complete them, as well as tactics to be used, what enemies there are in the mission (to help in your commendations) and so on.
• Armor of Halo 4: A look at the different armor in Halo 4, when and how you unlock them and a look at some of the armor permutations I’ve used so far in Halo 4 with some reasoning behind them.
• The Science of Halo, Fact Vs. Fiction: I haven’t done one of these articles in a bit and I really do love doing them. So I’m going to start getting these out on a more regular basis. Previous SoHFvF articles have included topics such as Slipspace Technology; the Spartan Laser; and Plasma Weapons. If you haven’t read these articles before, please check them out here: The Science of Halo, Fact Vs. Fiction
In these articles I take a technology from Halo and explore it’s real life counterpart of today if it exists or tech that is developing to allow in the future for a Halo-like tech to exist. I’m no scientist as I say in the articles, so I may get stuff wrong, however it’s the fun in exploring the topic that I enjoy and maybe it will inspire you to read up on the subjects as well. I provide plenty of links with in the articles for reference.
I think the next topic will be shields. Personal as well as ship related.
• Forge discussions: How to forge, gametypes to forge and so on. This will also showcase more of the 3 Forge maps in Halo 4: Impact, Ravine, and Erosion
• My comprehensive review of Halo 4: This will include some of the discussions from above but in finer detail. I’ll give what I consider pros and cons of Halo 4 and what I’d suggest as fixes for the cons. (It’s not cool to say something needs fixing if you don’t at least have a possible solution to the fix.) I will be fair in my assessment of each facet of Halo 4. For those things I see that need fixing, I will endeavor to understand why 343 made them the way they were, then offer my two cents… I might even be able to get some answers from the folks at 343 directly. That is to be determined though….(Crosses fingers)
• Spartan Ops Episodic comic book: This ongoing series of articles that brings you the Spartan Ops episodes in comic book format.

So as you can see it’s going to be a VERY busy month with all of that, not to mention:
* the daily, weekly, and monthly challenges listed
* Other toy/merchandise reviews
* posting links to other great Halo fan related stuff
* the Halo Bulletin
* My own general ramblings on all things Halo
* and anything else I may stumble upon that is Halo related!

So stay tuned folks. If you’ve been a subscriber for a long time, thanks. If you’re new to the blog, then you’ve got plenty to look forward to, to keep your interest piqued.
