Podtacular 314: Halo 4 is Golden
Download | Shownotes
Just when we thougth we covered everything the weekend had to offer, EuroGamer drops more Halo 4 goodies for us. We’ve got a glimpse of yet another two maps and a new game mode that was leaked earlier last week. The new map Complex is what you would expect: a big Forerunner complex surrounded my some amazing scenery. On that map we got our first look at the new Flood Mode, which is 343i’s renovation of Infection. Ragnarok is a remake of the Halo 3 map Valhalla and on that map, the Mantis, which is the big mech, is playable as a vehicle. The Prometheans Weaponry video was released in this week’s bulletin to show off all six weapons. Links are provided in the shownotes for the first time, so look there to see the stuff we’re talking about. Enjoy

Podtacular 313: Mediasplosion
Download | Shownotes
This weekend presented us with a dump truck load of Halo 4 information. Whether it’s Campaign or War Games you’re after, there is information in here for everyone. We have some gameplay from the first and third missions of Halo 4, and if you were worried about it containing spoilers, you can put those fears to rest. Go watch the videos cause there’s nothing spoilerific about it. Spartan Ops gameplay footage showed us some vehicle combat in wide open spaces, showing off the increasing diversity of this brand new experience. And what would a news drop be without Multiplayer info. We got our first look at a new map: Solace and a new gametype: Dominion. If you haven’t already, take a look at last weekend’s news and then take a listen. Enjoy

If There Are Explosions in the Forest…
bs angel dropped us another Bulletin last night featuring the remake of Timberland for Halo CEA: Ridgeline. This map comes from one of the classic Halo: PC maps and is a pretty good pick for a remake (I still think Chiron TL34 would have been cool…). There are some pretty screenshots of the environment and is probably one of the prettiest maps we’ve seen in Reach so far. On a Forge note, people will be glad to hear that trees are now a forgeable item for Ridgeline (like there weren’t enough trees already).
The Title Update also hit this week, but you won’t see any immediate changes. In order to celebrate a little though, Waypoint has released a Zero Bloom Slayer Game Variant for download. There’s also a nice wallpaper for Halo CEA that you should go download and put to use immediately.

April Fools Joke Becomes Reailty in Halo Chess
Last year on April Fools Day, Bungie teased that Halo: Reach would be all about chess and going back to roots of strategic gameplay. It was a great tease and people were actually a little sad that the game type wasn’t included in the game. Well guess again, because a year later, this April Fools has become reality and Bungie has released the gametype that will let you play chess in Halo: Reach. Achievement Hunter teased this feature in their latest Fails of the Weak and now have a “How To” video detailing how you can set up Halo to play chess.
