Ten years ago Halo: Combat Evolved launched around the world and defined both the shooter genre and a generation of gamers.
Microsoft Studios and 343 Industries are celebrating this epic milestone with the launch of Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary for Xbox 360 on 15 November and inviting fans to join the landmark celebration with a set of special pre-order bonuses:
* Master Chief Avatar Armour – Heroes never die, and to honour the 10th Anniversary of John 117, you will finally be able to transform your Xbox LIVE Avatar into the iconic hero by outfitting it with Master Chief’s signature MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour.
* “Grunt Funeral” Skull – An exclusive, game-modifying skull that changes the rules of the game for an explosively humorous experience, “Grunt Funeral” sends “Halo’s” most lowly and lovable enemy out in a blaze of glory. And plasma. And then more glory. Once the skull has been activated, every grunt’s methane tank will explode like a plasma grenade when killed. Watch out for the grunt chain reaction!
