Halo 4 Info
The flood have become a very iconic race in the Halo series, and from every game since launch there has been at least a small reference to the parasitic species.
It's been known for a while that we won't be seeing the flood in the Halo 4 campaign, but new gameplay reveals the ability to play as the flood creatures in the newly buffed infection game mode.
Infection starts off with a group of players fighting against a predefined number of 'infected' players. In previous games the infected usually wielded an energy sword and had different health stats depending on the game variant. In Halo 4, when a player gets killed by the infected,

Halo 4 Forge Mode
Forge mode is making a proper comeback in Halo 4 with modifications that would allow players not only to make detailed maps but make them with ease. Recently 343 Industries have come out and claimed that this time the map editing in the new Forge mode will be powerful enough to allow players to create whatever they can imagine.
Jessica Shea, 343 Industries community manager, had quite a bit to say about the Forge mode on the Halo Waypoint Bulletin.
"There will be some aesthetic variety we'll talk about later - as well as the obvious inclusion of aesthetics and Forgeable objects from specific maps [although] most

Limited Edition Halo 4
A few weeks back a Limited Edition Console Bundle for Halo 4 was seen on the official Microsoft Store website. As soon it was noticed it was put down again for reasons unknown. We guessed that sooner or later the console bundle will be officially announced but we are happy to say it was sooner than later.
343 Industries have confirmed the Limited Edition Console Bundle and this is what it will entail:
- Custom designed Xbox 360 Console featuring a blue led light
- Two custom designed controllers also containing blue led lights
- Standard copy of Halo 4
- A standard black Xbox 360 wired headsetThe

Halo 4 Forge Mode Info
Hey there Halo fans! I am pleased to tell you (if you already didn't know) that Forge World is going to be making a comeback in Halo 4. Better still is the fact that Forge is bigger and better than ever before with lots of improvements that are really going to make a difference.
To start off, this time around this multiplayer map editor is being developed by Certain Affinity. Since these guys were the developers behind Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary and the Halo Reach Map Pack, it is safe to say that they really know their stuff when it comes to Halo.
What I personally liked about their approach when developing this was that they really paid

Halo 4 Surface Info
If you guys remember, Microsoft introduced their all new SmartGlass technology at E3 a while back. This technology basically allows you to use any portable device (smartphones or tablets) to get an additional screen, much like the new Wii U gamepad. Just like the Wii U, this added screen is essentially going to provide you with other additional gameplay options.
Well soon after E3 Microsoft announced their new line of Windows 8 tablets, Surface. The tablets themselves are impressive and keeping SmartGlass in the frame it didn't take long for people to start wondering how exactly was Microsoft going to implement this tech for both current and future console games.

Halo 4 Controller
Hey there guys. I guess you guys already read the previous article about the Halo 4 Limited Edition Console Bundle. Since then it has been pulled down from the Microsoft Store so we haven't been able to get a better look at it. But, today I bring to you the close up image of the new Halo 4 UNSC Controller:

Looks cool right? As you can see, the blue led that is supposed to be integrated instead of the green can be seen from this picture. The d-pad is also supposed to be the twist d-pad. Also notice how the controller is translucent.

Halo 4 Controller and Console
Last week it was revealed from Microsoft's site that Microsoft will be releasing a Limited Edition Halo 4 Xbox 360 Console Bundle that comes with a Halo 4 controller. Although the pre-order page has been removed, the cat's already out of the bag. Although everyone is expecting that was part of Microsoft's plan.
Either way I guess more people were actually expecting a console bundle. I mean it's HALO, Microsoft HAD to do it. Here is what you get with this bundle
- Standard retail copy of Halo 4
- One-of-a-kind custom skinned
