“Halo 3: ODST” Transport Vehicle on a nationwide tour
To all the Halo faithful, you just might get lucky and have a chance to see Halo 3: ODST early and in person at a local GameStop near you. Starting tomorrow a nicely tricked out M820A2 expandable truck will make its way across the US from Seattle, Washington and then finish up a few days before the Official Launch of Halo 3: ODST in New York City, New York. I myself plan to head on out when they set up here for the first location here in Texas. Hopefully you’ll find a location near you to check out the game an perhaps score some really cool SWAG. Check out the official press release listed below for more details on dates and locations for the Halo 3: ODST road tour.

of “Halo 3: ODST” to fans at GameStop locations in advance of the Sept. 22 launch
Can’t wait for “Halo 3: ODST” to drop on September 22? Then suit up and get set for the “Halo 3: ODST” GameStop Tour! Microsoft and Bungie have created a massive, transforming “Halo 3: ODST” Transport Vehicle to take the game directly to players at GameStop locations across the United States, providing a hands-on sneak peak at one of this year’s most anticipated games.
The action begins this Saturday, Aug. 22, in Redmond, Washington when Xbox LIVE’s Major Nelson and Bungie kick off the nationwide “Halo 3: ODST” GameStop Tour outside the Redmond Town Center GameStop (17128 Redmond Way, Redmond, WA). The “Halo 3: ODST” Transport Vehicle deploys at noon and will remain active until 8:00 p.m.
Fans in each city of the tour will have the opportunity to experience the all new Firefight multiplayer mode in “Halo 3: ODST” and score “Halo” swag for proving their skills (all participants must be age 17 or older).
Built from a modified M820A2 expandable truck, the “Halo 3: ODST” Transport Vehicle provides a fully customized mobile gaming experience. Measuring 27 feet long and 14 feet wide when fully expanded, and weighing a beefy 13 tons, the “Halo 3: ODST” Transport Vehicle is a “Halo” party on wheels, outfitted with eight Xbox 360 console rigs featuring “Halo 3: ODST.”
