14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has started accepting pre-orders for the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition, so, in order to further entice gamers that were already keen on getting the new title, has revealed two special pre-order bonuses.
Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary is set to deliver the classic Halo 1 experience that first appeared 10 years ago on the original Xbox, and deliver it in a high-definition package, remastered with new graphics and enhanced gameplay, as well as with a few hints to the story in the all-new Halo 4, which arrives next year.
As you can imagine, the legions of Halo fans are quite excited about experiencing Halo 1 in HD on the Xbox 360, but Microsoft wants to get them even more thrilled, so it has now released the first details on two pre-order bonuses that will be available to gamers who pre-purchase the title from "select retailers."
These bonuses include a Master Chief armor set for your Xbox 360 avatar, and a Grunt Funeral skull, which will result in some pretty hilarious deaths for the grunts in Halo: Combat Evolved.
Check out the descriptions of these bonuses below.
Master Chief Avatar Armor– Heroes Never Die, and to honor 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 Armor.
“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! Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Edition is out exclusively for the Xbox 360 on November 15, but, until then, you can see the grunt funeral skull in action in the gameplay video below.
