What you need to know
Would you like to drive around in a Warthog or Ghost fromHalo Infiniteon your way to work? The bad news is, that won’t happen any time soon. The good news is, that you’ll be able to make it look like you’re driving one of them in the Waze navigation app. Waze partnered withMicrosoft and 343 Industriesto bring the iconic Master Chief and other parts of Halo into Waze (viaEngadget).
Drivers can set Waze to have the voice of Master Chief or War Chief Escharum provide directions. The app also lets people choose between a Warthog or a Ghost as a car icon within the app. People can also set Spartan or alien war chief moods to show off their loyalty.
To enable the feature, open the My Waze section of the app and select the Halo banner. It’s unclear at this time how long the features will stick around. If you have dreams of cruising down a highway in a Ghost or Warthog, you should take advantage of the options while you have the chance.

Waze is a great navigation app that provides real-time alerts from traffic and accidents. It also lets you have Master Chief give you directions as you drive around in a Warthog or a Ghost.
