Microsoft promised a “very special” Halo: Reach announcement today, and during a London event where X360A was in attendance, said announcement was duly made, to the amazement of almost no one.
Footballer Rio Ferdinand and self-confessed Halo fan Jason Bradbury, presenter of Channel 5′s ‘Gadget Show’ took to the stage at today’s event to confirm a competition that will involve a search for the UK’s number one Halo player, who will get the chance to head up a team of celebrities called the ‘Elite Super Squad’ (seriously) who will face off against six runners-up when Halo: Reach releases in September.
Ferdinand, Bradbury and UK R&B artist Jamelia are the only celebs confirmed thus far, but with the search for the best Halo player running until mid-August, there will be more revealed during that time. Expect some one off of Hollyoaks to feature somewhere in the line-up, and maybe a Big Brother reject too.
Exciting stuff…
