Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary Preorder Bonus Announced

Heroes never die, and neither should your Xbox Live avatar.

There used to be an embeded media player here, but it doesn't work anymore. We blame the Tumbeasts.

 
Move over Grunt Birthday Party, and make way for a slightly more somber celebration. Halo fans who preorder the upcoming remake of Halo: CE will be granted the “Grunt Funeral” skull. As you can see in the video above, it makes the little methane-breathing twirps explode as if they were hit with a plasma ‘nade everytime you kill them. That’s right fellas, the demon is here.

Outside of the game, anyone who reserves will receive a full set of Master Chief’s armor for their Xbox Live avatar. John-117’s over-shield will serve you well by deflecting blasts from the hate canon that is so often fired off over the network. As a side bonus, it’s gotta look way more bad ass than that “blue avatar t-shirt” your virtual you is currently rocking.
