We’re bringing in the big guns for our latest MLG show. We have MLG Halo commentator Bravo on the show to help us discuss the multiplayer aspects revealed for Halo 4 thus far and how they may be implemented or utilized in the MLG Pro Circuit. Features like permanent sprint and random weapon drops have the potential to change the way MLG plays, so we take time to speculate how these would affect gameplay. We also have Nak3d Eli and JakFireDragon on the show. Enjoy

It is our first official Modtacular as we join forces from the good folks over at the Waypoint Community Modcast. It was inevitable for both of our shows to come together and it has finally happened. This certainly won’t be the last time either. We are joined by CruelLEGACEY and his crew of Waypoint Moderators to discuss officially the details released in the latest issue of Game Informer. 343i also released a first look into the composer for Halo 4. The music being the game is nothing short from amazing. Here’s the link to the post that GrimBrother One read out regarding the direction 343i is taking Halo. Enjoy

This week during PAX East, some Halo 4 information in the latest issue of Game Informer got leaked to the public. While it’s still not technically official (when this was recorded), there is reason to believe that most of the information in the leak is accurate, and that’s what we’re here to talk about. We also have Eagleburn from the Halo sub-reddit to promote the first Reddit Halo tourney. It’s still not too late to sign up, so go check it out. Enjoy

The Sound of Music

Posted on April 11, 2012 by Dust Storm


The hills are filled with the sound of music as 343i finally reveals their composer behind the Halo 4 music. If you watch the Making Halo 4: Composing Worlds video that 343i posted along with the bulletin, you will see that he has a unique approach to making his music that differs from what we’ve come to love from Marty. However, if you listen to the Halo 4 Soundtrack Samples (also available for download), you’ll hear that it still has that mysterious Halo sound.
