Halo: Reach Live-Action Trailer Details the Birth of a Spartan
by Eric Bush
The new live-action short from director Noam Murro has hit the internets and television ad spots. In a sparse and futuristic world, the soldier destined to lead Noble Team gets injected to become a Spartan warrior; the video is embedded below in high-defintion for your viewing pleasure. There should be an extended cut available soon, but for now check out this original entry into the Halo universe (with ridiculously awesome music and an epic ending), which is actually just advertising the upcoming Halo: Reach beta which starts on Monday (or a couple days early if you win a Friends and Family code - click here).
