The 2012 presidential election is over, and despite a valiant campaign, Halo series hero Master Chief will not be bringing his personal brand of interstellar diplomacy to the White House any time soon... Or will he? There's still a chance that fans could get the government to bring everybody's favorite nondescript space marine to the nation's capital, at least as a lawn ornament. You see, someone filed an official petition this week suggesting that president Obama commission a statue of Master Chief petty officer spartan John-117 and put it outside the White House.

The first true outing for developer 343 Industries is coming up. Hint: It's a big one. Halo 4 is all set to release in the United States on November 6th, and Microsoft is pulling out all the stops. The launch trailer for the game -- which is somewhat odd since it actually releases in three weeks or so -- is titled "Scanned" directed by Tim Miller and produced by none other than David Fincher. Watch as Master Chief gets the worst kind of psychological assessment.
