Okay there is a LOT to go over here from the panel.

The panel got started about 20 minutes late:

Some notes about the Halo 4 Global Championship:

• 32 Finalists in total.

• Finalists get an expense paid trip to the Finals. Lodging, Travel, and food.

• Frank says they expect to see Pro-players rise to the top of the Global contest….yep…of course.

Bullseye Map pack incoming! More on that in a moment.

Champion ship pack includes:
Bullseye map pack: Looks like only two maps: Vertigo, Pitfall (remake of The Pit) I’ll be having separate articles to show pics of each of these VERY shortly after this is posted. Also includes the game specific “Richochet” Armor.

Weapons skins: Frank described them as a kind of “Steampunk” skin.

(Sorry I missed the screenshot for the Covenant Weapons, but they have these skins too.

New Armors:I for one am happy to have ODST back. I know a lot of people are happy to have Mark V back as well. And WOW, does that Prefect armor look AWESOME!

New game mode is called: Ricochet. More on this in another article to follow shortly after this one. Think American Football with Halo Weapons, mixed in with some Grifball! Spartans have helmets with face guards ALA American Football helmets. Pass the ball into goal for points. Run the ball into goal for BIGGER points! Again more on that very shortly, with lots of pics!

Bonus content!

SEVEN new Halo 4 stances!
THREE new Armors
SIX bonus weapons skins (different from the ones shown above)

You can buy the Championship pack for 800 MSP.

Each of the three DLC packs in the Champions bundle will also be available as standalone purchases on launch day. The Bullseye Pack will be available for 480 MS Points. The Infinity Armor Pack and Steel Skin Pack will be available for 240 MS Points each.  The bonus content is only available for a limited time exclusively through the bundle.

Championship pack coming out August 20!!!

Q&A was taken but not for long since they started late. Here are two answers from questions I was hoped would be asked.

No vehicle packs planned. DAMN, no Hornet…
No plans for Spartan Ops Season two at this time. BUMMER! EXTRA BUMMER!!!!

So some VERY cool stuff coming next month!

Stick right here. I’ll be putting up THREE more articles in a short bit. One with screenshots/concepts of the map Vertigo, another for Pitfall, and finally shots of Ricochet in action on Pitfall!
