The Bungie weekly update was a big one for Halo fans this week. In this weeks update, Bungie talks about their co-op pains, their podcast, the tweaks the Energy Sword is gong through, their latest contest and of course, the WETA designed Warthog.
Um. The dudes at WETA made a Warthog. I don’t mean that they made a big plastic thing that looks like a Warthog. I mean they built a fully-functioning, four-wheel steering, powerful, off-road vehicle with a machine gun on the back. At the correct scale. If you live near Wellington, New Zealand, you might even see some crazy machine-shop dude from WETA fishtailing around your base, ahem, I mean neighborhood.
I want to move to New Zealand and get hired by WETA so I can be the tester guy. What's that WETA? You want me to put on the MJOLNIR armor and test drive the Warthog around the track? Okie dokie!
Also, after the jump is the video called Arms Race showing some footage from the Halo movie. I thought I'd include it since this video never made it on the site during the chaos of E3. Expect a video of the Warthog in action too in the coming weeks.
