How would you like to own your own Mongoose, just like the ones from Halo? Well, now you can, with an on-product promotion!

Weta, the special effects company behind the Lord Of The Rings films has created two full size Mongoose ATVs for consumers to win. This is definitely a promotion worth buying into, for any self-proclaimed Halo fan!

The Mongoose is certainly one of the more fun vehicles to drive in Halo 3 and Halo Reach. Grab a buddy to hang on the back with a rocket launcher and you can take out Covvie scum faster than anyone could on foot! Well now that Weta, the special effects company behind the Lord of the Rings films, has built two real-world custom Mongoose ATVs, you can do just that in real life! Well, except without the rocket launcher part. I hope.

As part of Doritos and Mountain Dew's "Honor the Code" promotion for Halo Reach, Weta is giving away both of the custom ATVs in a contest. All you have to do is purchase Doritos and Mountain Dew products for a chance to win. You can read more about the sweepstakes contest at www.honorthecode.com.

You'll remember that Weta was rumored to be working on a Halo film for the longest while. It was revealed during the advertising campaign for Halo 3 that their involvement with the franchise was to create live-action short films to promote the series, for which they built numerous real-world props from the series fiction.

Best of luck to our readers on winning this, and if you do, I want pictures of you riding it while chugging a Mountain Dew. So extreme.
