Conan O’Brien, the red-headed late-night talk show sex symbol and badass, will be in 343 Industries’ upcoming Halo 4, and he recently chatted with the team’s franchise director Frank O’Connor and the awesomely-named executive producer Kiki Wolfkill to discuss his role in the game.

Conan will apparently be doing the voice for a super-duper important character in Halo 4, and in the above clip of last night’s Conan episode, Conan discusses his character, possible design concepts for his character, and why his character doesn’t shoot a gun.

We also get to see Conan’s incredibly impressive voice-over work, and more importantly, we get a quick glimpse of gameplay of a guy shooting another guy, an unfinished look at one the game’s levels/environments, gain a bit of insight of Halo 4’s final moments, and get a sneak peek at super secret footage of not Halo 4.

On the same day that we get to vote for the President of the United States, comes Halo 4. The actual release date was unclear until today when Microsoft revealed that their popular first person shooter will be coming our way on November 6, 2012. If you are a fan of the series it might interest you to know that this new Halo follows Master Chief four years after the events of 2007′s Halo 3. In Halo 4 he encounters “an ancient evil that threatens the fate of the entire universe.”

This is the first time that a Halo game get’s developed by a different team and not Bungie, which means that the stakes are high this time around. Let’s hope that they bring Halo 4 to E3 this year so that we can check it out and get you more hands on details.

Take a look at the new Halo Reach trailer that of course is exclusive to the XBOX 360. The trailer looks interesting and promising and it was featured on Spike TV’s VGA. Bungie and Microsoft studios have exceeded our expectations with this video.
