Here is my brief synopsis.

Every Friday 343 has a sit down to discuss the progression of Halo 4 and various aspects of the game. This past week’s discussion had some info about the new issue of gameinformer. During this discussion the gameinformer cover was shown. Here it is:

Decent enough, though I hope to gawd Cortana does NOT look like this in the final rendition of the game. She looks more Asian than her normal look. The hair is too dark and what’s up with the “arm warmers” on her arms? Hopefully this is just an artist’s interpretation or concept art and NOT some to represent the final. Back to the bulletin…

The next few paragraphs go over 343’s internal and external network test. They (343) utilized other Microsoft employees for this test. Take that with a grain of salt. At least two heat maps were shown so you can get a glimpse of how Warhouse and Wraparound are laid out. At least as of this bulletin.

From their Chris Lee, 343’s Lead Producer, chimes in, in this week’s OHI section with more info about the network test.

BS angel puts out the custom challenge for the week, this one using the Mass Driver from the end of the campaign mission Pillar of Autumn. As well, there is a special 39K credit jackpot possible in Arena.
