It’s crunch time for 343 Industries, and with about seven or so months left until its Holiday 2012 release, there is an increase of Halo 4 information surfacing the web recently. GameInformer Magazine’s May issue not only has a Halo 4 cover but also includes 14 pages of Halo 4 epicness which digs into Halo 4′s Campaign and Multiplayer experience (now named ‘Infinity’).

In a few more weeks, the new Map Pack for Halo Reach will be released, containing two multiplayer maps and a firefight map, but is there more than just the 3 maps? Well, a brand new helmet has been spotted in the Defiant Map Pack Screenshots from Halo Waypoint.

As its the final week of Christmas, expect to see some huge bargains coming out for stores in order to get you to buy last minute gifts. Of course, one of these would be the games – and I have created this super list of the top five games for the next-gen console (except for the PC) should get as a gift.
Like in Halo 3, you are able to customize your spartan. But in Halo Reach, The Armory allows you to create your own Spartan. And when I say customize, I’m not talking about a different helmet and armor color, But you can personalize the look of your Spartan from the color of the visor he wears all the way to the voice you can use in firefight.
Blame Stewart for another late episode. Why? Because we had to wait for his precious iPhone to be reverted to an old version and jailbroken, which took 3 hours and 45 minutes after our original start time. Also, we’re still apparently recovering from our Election Night spectacular – if you can call it spectacular.
In Halo Reach, players can customise Spartans as well as Elites, although, the customisation for Elites is limited as the player can only change the Elite’s appearance by ‘sets’. In other words, you cannot change the Elite’s shoulders, helmet, and armour like in Halo 3. This is because Reach focuses more on Spartans, rather than Elites.
Plasma Pistol: The plasma pistol has the ability to overcharge and shoot a very strong ball of energy that can lock onto an enemy. If the charged up ‘blob’ hits your enemy, it will completely drain their shields. This weapon is not recommended as it’s main purpose is to take out someone’s shields. Although in the Halo Reach Multiplayer Beta, The Plasma seemed much more stronger, but it is unknown whether the power of this weapon will be changed. This is almost exclusively used for short range combat
While many Xbox 360 fanboys are awaiting the release of Halo: Reach – and yes, I know one, Microsoft has unveiled a brand new game-themed version of the Xbox 360 Console which will be released as part of the “Limited Edition” bundle. The bundle will come with two wireless controllers and a wireless headset – both also featuring custom designs based on the upcoming game. It also includes an episode of Halo Legends, a token for the Limited Edition Elite Amour set.
E3 2010: GoFanboy has got the shots from E3 showing off some tight gameplay and giving us an idea of how the story of Reach will kick off. Check out the screenshots and tell us what you think of the latest Halo title.
All armor abilities have usage limits, and you can only use them if you have enough in your armor ability meter. Most of the abilities slowly drain your meter, E.g. Evade drains half of it in each use, after 2 evades, you have to wait to recharge.
Assault Rifle: This high-capacity automatic weapon is a classic from Halo: Combat Evolved. It can fire up to 32 rounds before having to be reloaded, but each round inflicts only a small amount of damage. Attempting to fire for too long will result in the loss of a lot of accuracy.
