To celebrate the launch of Halo:Reach, Microsoft are planning a special ‘blue carpet’ event where a team of celebrities will be taking on six top players to see who are the best at Halo. However, the celebrities need a bit of a helping hand and over 800 people entered the “Searching for a leader” promotion to become team captain, training and looking after Rio Ferdinand, Mr Hudson, Jameela Jamil, Ben Cohen and Jason Bradbury. Good luck with that. The winner was 17 year old Lewis Chapman, who is really excited as after winning he said “I’m really excited that Xbox has given me this opportunity – Halo is my biggest passion and this is a dream come true. I would like to say to my new team members, ‘Get practicing! You might be celebrities, but you better be good on the night!’ I will do everything that I can, as their leader to beat the opposing team.”
Halo:Reach is out on September 14th only on Xbox 360, expect a lot of sick days once it’s released. Anyone ever played a celebrity online?
