Microsoft’s Major Nelson revealed its plans for this year’s SDCC, and like the title says, it’s all about Halo 4.

Not only will attendees be able to go hands-on with the latest entry in the Halo franchise at the Xbox booth, but it’s also the first time the multiplayer will be playable for the public. There will also be prizes during special events at the booth throughout the weekend, the specific events and times not yet announced.

The Hard Rock will once again host the Xbox Lounge, Thursday through Sunday from 9AM – 5PM where you’ll be able to play Forza Horizon, Fable: The Journey, Dance Central 3, Assassin’s Creed III, Resident Evil 6, Borderlands 2, Hitman: Absolution, Sleeping Dogs, Deadlight, Wreckateer, and more.

As reported earlier, Xbox will be the official videogame sponsor of Nerd HQ, including an exclusive hands-on with the new Tomb Raider, a brand-new map from Gears of War: Judgment, Hitman: Absolution, and more.
