Close Up: Weta's Warthog (Part 1)

By Mayur Gandhi

Only in New Zealand.

If you were lucky enough to come to Armageddon in Wellington this year you would've undoubtedly noticed a familiar vehicle next to the NZGamer.com booth.

It was a real-life fully scale Warthog from the famous Halo series of video games.

Back when the Halo movie seemed to have the green-light, Peter Jackson, Weta and Neill Blomkamp begun pre-production work on the film here in New Zealand.

The product of this can be seen in the numerous Halo live-action shorts, and of course in the beast you're about to behold below.

just reading back on this, you know what would be awesome? IF the American Army decided to replace all of their Humvee's with these...

Of course theyd need a few spartans to flip them whenever they rolled...
