Let’s Take A Spin In The Halo Warthog

Kotaku AU

seamus-in-a-warthogDid you know the one and only real life replica Halo Warthog has been in Sydney? Let’s check it out with erstwhile Kotaku AU editor, Seamus Byrne.

Seamus trekked over to Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour last week to see the Warthog in person. He touched it, he rode in it, he climbed up into the gunner’s position… he even donned the Master Chief costume.

Fortunately he filmed all this so you can see it too.

I was out there on Thursday last week, but after my interview with Bungie and a quick play of Halo 3: ODST’s Firefight mode, I had to rush to catch the last boat back. I missed out on riding in the Warthog.

Did anyone else make the trip?
