Pontiac is betting hardcore Halo fans just can't wait to own a copy of Halo 3 when it goes on sale Sept. 25. So to help relieve some of that tension, the carmaker is giving away 1,000 copies of the game in a contest that ends today.

With only a few hours left to play, hurry to Pontiac's special Halo-related site, solve a simple word puzzle and find out if you're a winner instantly. As you can see, we didn't win.

The Halo tie-in is part of Pontiac's attempt to woo young males into their showrooms. A previous Halo-related tie-in featured a Halo-themed G5 at events in San Francisco and New York where lucky gamers could try H3 before most everyone else. This second phase of the campaign seems to feature the G6 GXP, at least on the ' screen. I wonder if winners see a G8. Hmmm. We'll try again today to find out for you. Hey, it's the least we can do, right?

Halo players are familiar with the Warthog, the mil-buggy you (and often a friend) use in some scenarios to help the Master Chief dish out death with extreme prejudice to the Covenant's alien baddies. Well, the truck has made the jump from your DLP screen to the real world thanks to the guys at WETA, who have produced a running full-size replica complete with gun (natch) and four-wheel-steering. The full-scale Warthog's being used in a series of live-action shorts designed to ramp up gamers' excitement levels in the runup to Halo 3's release. You can get an idea of what to expect in the teaser trailer, which we've included after the jump. So that's what the Warthog assembly line looks like...

Thanks for the tip, Travis!
