Waay back at the New York launch of Halo 3 there was a guy in self-made Master Chief armor. Yea. That’s a Halo fan. Well, it seems like we weren’t the only ones to take notice of his shiny metal exoskeleton. The zany folks over at College Humor, creators of Street Fighter: The Early Years, managed to get in touch with Jim, who comments about appearing in a short film for the site. Jim also passed along some pictures of the set.
The movie, which could possibly be called Halo Detective, should be showing up on the humor site in the next few weeks. For now, visit the Flickr gallery below for more shots of the Master Chief in action.

As the latest June issue of EGM magazine arrives as our doorsteps, our eyes feast on more than just sexy details on the up and coming Splatterhouse, EGM also includes rumored details on Halo developer Bungie’s next project.

A Halo Prequel?

The cryptic Quarterman writes in his Rumor Mill “WETA is definitely involved in some capacity” and that we might hear more about Bungie’s post-Halo 3 work as early as November, officially.
