Doing a cool thing for a serviceman
TOTALLY NOT HALO-4-RELATED… but very cool nonetheless. Jason Cheng is a US Marine who was deployed to Afghanistan when Halo Fest happened in Seattle last summer… but his buddies brought a picture of him to the event, and included it in a series of photos they took, so that he could ‘be there in spirit’. Someone from 343 noticed the shenanigans, and asked some questions…. then took the picture back to the studio and got it signed by the crew. When Jason returned home recently, he found a montage of the (signed) picture shots waiting for him… along with a whole bunch of goodies put together by 343. Awesome! (Louis Wu 18:52:53 UTC)
