SAN DIEGO - "Halo 4" will forward new missions to players.
Developers for the sci-fi shoot-'em-up series told fans at a Comic-Con presentation Saturday that they could expect 10 new episodes of the co-operative Spartan Ops mode each week after the game's launch Nov. 6. Each episode will contain five chapters, totalling 50 new missions over a 10-week span. The extra downloadable content will be free and will last as long as the game's single-player campaign.
Developers from 343 Industries also unveiled a limited-edition "Halo 4"-themed Xbox 360 at Saturday's panel. The 320-gigabyte console includes a copy of the game, wired headset and two controllers. It will cost $399.99.
