Just 5 days ago, Microsoft and WETA gave us another Halo live action ad.  Before this, we thought the live action Halo short films were done. Peter Jackson, Niel Blomkamp, and WETA already made District 9. Which was basically the Halo without anything Halo related.

Now Microsoft have put out another press release saying that there is still one more live action Halo ODST short film that is 2 minutes and 30 seconds long. But will only show in the UK. Congrats to you Brits.

UPDATE: Here it is. The full 2minute and 30second ad. Enjoy.

Dammit guys! STOP TEASING ME! Just give us a damn Halo movie already!

Full press release after the break.

   Shame, I was hoping for more, but it’s only a few more scenes than the ad we’ve already seen. Still it’s a great advert. Not sure what language they’re speaking. Interesting that it’s not American as Halo has always been a predominantly American game.
