Canadian Xbox live users may have noticed an ad which stated that the battle for Reach will happen in Toronto on September 4. It turned out it was a Reach sponsored laser tag event...

I went to check it out and it was a pretty cool set up, involving Halo shaped laser tag guns, covenant vs unsc battles on a praking lot which resembled a Halo theme. Lots of people were there (dudes mostly lol), but people that got to play had a blast and got to teabag in real life.

All in all, this was really good marketing on Microsofts part as there were at least 50,000 people which passed through that downtown area during the 6 hours that the event lasted(not counting the ~2000 that played laser tag). Most of those people were clueless to what was going on and what Halo Reach is...but this surely made them curious.

Here are some pics I took while in line...

Damn, I can't seem to put my fingure on where that is.

Try harder...its a really well known location downtown :)

Queen near Spadina, damn it feels strange looking at that parking lot like that. Funny, because I pass by this place all the time, but never facing east on the north side of the street.

Erm, I only see USNC soldiers in those pics, can someone point me to the Cov?

I wish you would have taken a picture of someone teabagging. That would have been epic beyond words.

Ah lazertag, how I miss walking in first then firing on everyone as soon as they enter....

The covy guys were dudes in purple shirts on the other end...lol.

A few dudes were teabagging but I was too slow with the cam...

Fail. :( Do you realize how epic it would be to get a real-life Halo teabagging?

That would be one of the most priceless internet trophies in the history of everything.

Alright.. I haven't played lasertag in 10 years.. but how can you play it outside? in daylight? *remembers dark rooms with steam filled corridors*

You can, it's gotten alot better in recent years. You don't even have to get the Battle Rifle sized guns anymore!
