Major Nelson
PAX East starts this week, and Xbox 360 will be there. Join us in booth #524 on the main floor. You won’t be able to miss us, since we’ll be right near the bottom of the main entrance escalators.
Here is an overview of what we have scheduled:
Halo 4
Castle Map Pack (First public playable opportunity)
The War Games Map Pass allows players to extend their gameplay experience with new locations and bonus content (2 unique helmets and an emblem) at a terrific value. The Castle Map Pack is the third of the series, offering larger, more open spaces, in three very different settings and map styles. Castle map pack introduces nine new achievements, three new maps, and a new “Castle DLC” playlist.
Gears
Maxim Map Pack (First public playable opportunity)
Microsoft, Epic Games and MAXIM are delivering even more adrenaline-fueled action to “Gears” fans with the upcoming post-launch release of two free, MAXIM-sponsored multiplayer maps – Haven and Capitol – as well as a new mode called “Execution.” For more details including a first look at Haven, head over to Maxim Online at www.maxim.com/gow-haven
PLUS, we’re also planning on showing Xbox LIVE Arcade’s State of Decay, Max: Curse of the Brotherhood, Motocross Madness as well as some new Windows 8 and Windows Phone games.
Age of Empires II: HD Edition
Interested in getting some hands-on time with Age of Empires II: HD Edition? You are in luck! Head to the device bar at the Xbox booth to find a playable version. AOEII:HD Producer Ryan "Ryz0n" Chaply will be on hand to answer questions. Take your chance to play the game before it’s released!
There is a lot more we’ll have in the booth, from Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 games, to upcoming Xbox LIVE Arcade titles.

Halo 4 Multiplayer: Past, Present, and Future
Friday, March 22 5:00pm – 6:00pm | Main Theater
Halo 4 delivered a unique set of multiplayer experiences, immersing players in an episodic campaign with Spartan Ops, while delivering more breadth and depth in the expanded War Games sandbox. You’ve played the Majestic Map Pack and may even have had a chance to play Castle Map Pack on the floor here at PAX. Come prepared to hear 343 Industries’ Frank O’Connor, Kevin Franklin, Dan Ayoub and David Ellis, as well as Certain Affinity’s Tom Potter discuss where we’ve been, where we are, and what is on the horizon for Halo 4 Multiplayer.
The Halo 4 team will be in the Xbox booth sighing autographs on Friday, March 22 3:00pm – 4:00pm
