Halo 4: Playing as a Promethean Knight

Posted on by

I didn’t mod this. I’m just reposting it here.

Ever want to play as a Promethean? Well, this fellow has figured out a hack to do as such. I don’t know how, nor do I want to know as mods like this are bankable offenses. But it’s still pretty cool to watch!

So how about it? If given the chance to do so in-game without modding, would you play as a Promethean Knight? I know I would. I think it would be a lot of fun!

Hello friends! PAX Prime is upon us, which means that we’ve got long days and long nights ahead, and hope to spend many of them with many of you. Due to the holiday weekend, we’ve got a quick update this week, but we’ll talk about a new Halo 5 Arena map, the latest MCC playlist update, and more.

Before we move on, just yesterday, we brought Halo 5: Guardians to the ID@Xbox event at the Xbox HQ in Redmond, and it was a pleasure having some of you join us for the pre-PAX festivities. If you joined, you were likely able to snag some game time, plus limited edition Chief & Locke posters and pins from Frankie and Josh Holmes as well. We hope you had a great time, and we thank you for spending your evening with us. Let’s do it again some time.

Speaking of, we want to hook some Halo fans up with some last minute, surprise PAX badges. Whether you’re local to Seattle, or are willing to hop on a plane in a moment’s notice, just reply to the below on Twitter. We’ll be selecting and contacting winners this evening.  Continue reading →
