In a move that was really rather expected, Microsoft will be including support for it’s Surface tablet in upcoming shooter Halo 4.

Speaking at the GameBeat 2012 conference, Microsoft executive Don Mattress confirmed the feature, VentureBeat reports.

It is still unknown exactly how the Surface tablet will work with Halo 4, however it’s likely that Smart Glass will play an integral role after it’s large E3 showcase.

This means that you’ll probably be using a tablet and the second screen to dole out inventory or ‘improve’ the game. It could really be quite the blow to the Wii U if it comes into play.
