Halo Producers Take Ice Bucket Challenge
Halo producers Bonnie Ross, Kiki Wolfkill, Dan Ayoub, and Josh Holmes have taken the Ice Bucket Challenge, getting buckets of ice water dumped on their heads as part of a campaign to raise awareness and money for ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Watch the video above to see someone dressed as Master Chief dump water on their heads.
Video game industry people nominated to take the challenge next include Master Chief voice actor Steve Downes (who has already completed the challenge), Bungie COO Pete Parsons, Forza studio Turn 10 creative director Dan Greenawalt, and Cortana voice actor Jen Taylor.
