The geologic data acquired from these islands has offered incredible fodder for Infinity Science’s Forge group, providing diverse and modifiable terrain for the War Games combat simulations.

Daybreak places you amidst military facilities, against the backdrop of an idyllic mountain range, while Outcast plunges you into the natural tunnels and arches of a secluded rebel outpost.

The Halo 4 Majestic Map Pack is available to download from Xbox Live Marketplace today, featuring three new 'medium-sized' maps: Landfall, Monoloith and Skyline. If you own Halo 4's "War Game Map Pass," it's free, otherwise it costs 800 MSP.
The second installment of maps in the Halo 4 War Games Map Pass, Majestic Map Pack brings what fans have been asking for: 3 all new small to medium sized maps and a new mode: Infinity Rumble, to the Halo 4 War Games experience.
Landfall's emphasis is on infantry battles against a glittering ocean on a distant world, while Monolith exposes you to the naked vacuum of space – and the firepower of opposing teams, and Skyline's distinctly industrial feel provides new challenges in somewhat familiar, but occasionally confined spaces.

Gears of War: Judgment, one of the most anticipated games for Xbox 360 shows up on torrent sites a month before it's release date.
Microsoft Corp. has promised “vigorous action” after the latest Gears of War games leaked online more than a month before its release date.
Copies of Gear of War: Judgment, a prequel to the events of 2006's Gears of War begins, began showing up on torrent sites overnight.
“We are aware of isolated cases in which Gears of War: Judgment content has been propped on the web and are working closely with our security teams and law enforcement to address the situation immediately,” a Microsoft spokesperson told Eurogamer on Tuesday morning.
“Consumers should be aware that piracy is illegal and we take vigorous action against illegal activity related to our products and services.”
This is the second high-profile game in less than five months to leak online prior to launch.
In October, copies of Halo 4 were also spotted on torrent websites before launch
What is sure to be an epic and amazing online live game possibly coming to Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox 720 and PS4 is Destiny, an open universe cooperative online and dynamically changing game. Bungie reveals more details and some story narratives in the documentary short video called 'Pathways Out Of Darkness'
News Flash:
Destiny is the newest First Person Shooter from Bungie, the video game developers that brought us Halo and forever changed the way FPS are played. The release date and platforms have not been specified, although I wouldn’t be surprised if the Xbox 720 and PlayStation 4 make the list in addition to the current Xbox 360 and PS3.
Pathways out of darkness is probably a reference to Bungie's very first First Person Shooter developed for the Mac only called Pathways Into Darkness. But it also refers to how humanity is pulling itself from the rubble of a war that destroyed the Earth, leaving much of it under the control of hostile aliens. Destiny will be a game that spans 10 years in real life terms…that’s right, 10 years!
