Wonderfully made video showing what Halo 4 took to make

Behold, a beautifully produced look behind the scenes at 343 Industries, maker of Halo 4, and all it took to make the new game.

We see a myriad of disciplines from animation to orchestral recital; from motion-captured performance to shooting guns in the desert.

Interspersed are clips from the finished product, Halo 4. And a suitably rousing score accompanies it all.

I recommend watching the video, whether you like Halo or not.
