Halo 4 is coming out in less than a month, and Microsoft and 343 Industries were at New York Comic Con last weekend to promote the game launch.

It’s been five years since gamers have seen Master Chief, the quiet hero of the franchise, but he’ll make his grand return in Halo 4 on Xbox 360 on Nov. 6. The game starts a new story arc in the Halo universe, known as the reclaimer saga, and Microsoft tasked its own new studio 343 Industries to take the reigns from Bungie on the new adventure.

Mashable talked with Geoff Keighley, a journalist for Spike TV with two decades of experience reporting on games. Keighley is also the executive producer for Spike’s annual Video Game Awards. He offered his insights into Halo 4‘s development thus far, as well as information on their tie-in promotion with Mountain Dew and Doritos.

Keighley also discussed the new content delivery method for Halo 4 in its Spartan Ops mode, which offers weekly updates on a story that gamers can play solo or cooperatively.
