An advance look at Halo 4 will be found in the unlikeliest of places: Microsoft’s Forza Motorsport racing game. Hidden deep within Forza’s fourth installment, to be released on October 11, will be an in-depth look at the Warthog vehicle design that will be used in the upcoming Halo 4. The interactive Warthog model will be viewable in the game’s “Autovista” mode, which allows players to use the Kinect motion controller to move around an intricately detailed model of a car, opening the door, popping the hood, even sliding into the driver’s seat and starting her up. While you investigate the Warthog (which Microsoft says will be a well-hidden Easter egg), Halo’s central character Cortana will narrate and tell stories about the vehicle’s prowess. Microsoft reps were quick to add that players will not be able to drive the Warthog around Forza Motorsport 4’s race tracks. Visitors to this weekend’s Halo Fest in Seattle will be able to check out the Autovista viewer for themselves. Images courtesy Microsoft
