Halo 4 Spartan Ops Animatic
Vico shared this never before seen promotional Spartan Ops film by Planet Jump Productions. This is actually the animatic that was shown when 343 demoed Spartan Ops at E3 2012 - I never thought it would see the light of day. Really cool stuff! (colindosaj 23:35:54 UTC) (permalink)

A ginormous vehicle
This article in the LA Times is a fascinating look at the Warthog that 343 commissioned from marketing company Antenna. Stop by for behind-the-scenes details, a great photogallery, and the tantalizing tidbit that "buyers with deep pockets may even be able to take home a version of their own"... whoa. Thanks to BS Angel for highlighting this on Waypoint. (Louis Wu 20:32:13 UTC) (permalink)
Bet you can't drink it.

The Tyrant sent us a link that pointed to the Cortana - a Halo cocktail containing Blue Curaçao, Alizé Bleu Passion, and UV Blue Vodka. Rampancy awaits! Update: While you're there, check out the Master Chief (Midori, Jack Daniels, Jager) and the Master Chief Mojito (Bacardi and Mountain Dew). (Louis Wu 20:12:52 UTC) (permalink)
