Microsoft and 343 Industries have christened this "Halo Week: Drop Shock," bringing a steady stream of new content and special deals for Halo 4. It all started with the Castle Map Pack that launched yesterday, but the companies have special challenges and discounts in store too.
Halo 4 could have had a stasis gun. Or a "grapple harpoon." But these weapons were taken out in an effort to make the game more accessible and less sci-fi.
Franchise creative director Josh Holmes told GDC audiences that "when we started out, I was really pushing the team to go in a very sci-fi direction. I wanted to embrace the sci-fi nature of the enemies and explore concepts that were outside the box for Halo, things that you'd never seen before in the Halo sandbox."
Halo 4 brings its third major multiplayer update to the Xbox 360 on April 8, 2013.
