Im like praying to god that it comes with the original master chiefs armor cause i don't really care for the Mark V in reach as much as the one in Halo 3. I don't know hopefully something if its not that.

When I pre-ordered both my HCEA and HALO 4 they said as of this time there is nothing special announced but it will be added to all pre-orders if there are.

As of right now there isn't a special but when Halo fest comes around in August I'm dead sure there will be an announcement of CEA pre order bonuses.

Protect me cone!

they said no but i got it on the first hour you were able to preorder it and one of the first people to pre order on the east coast so anything could happen

Pre-ordering Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary gives you the "Grunt Funeral" skull, where if you kill a grunt, it dies, (of course) and explodes like a plasma greneade, killing anything around it. Look it up on youtube

It's not that I'm crazy... It's just that, you're not as far out there as I am.

I might just pre-order this. I've heard nothing but exelent things about halo ce. Can't wait for the release.

It is really really sad that there are so many Halo fans that that have never played the orginal game. In fact i would bet that a large part of this gaming population was not even born when Halo: ce was orginaly released.


Picture a world with No BR'S, No mods, No abilities of any kind. Just you, your pistol, an AR , and a hand full of grenades.
(yes you had over shield and cloke, but these where in lvl pick up , you did not start with those.)



The original was the best... When i was in collage there was no x-box live like you know it today. If you wanted multi-player. You had to plug in another controller, or carry your stuff over to your friends house and play on 2 tv's and hard wire every thing together.... HDMI was not ever around.

We use to huck the xbox up to the computer network and play halo over the Y-Tunnel.. But you kids would not know any thing about that..

So far, the only pre-order specialty i know of for Halo: CEA is the grunt funeral skull.

  • 07.25.2011 8:45 PM PDT

you get a grunt funeral skull thing. when you kill a grunt a plasma grenade explodes to celebrate his passing.

Apparently people feel the need to answer a question on a forum that was already answered before them. Whatever, but the pre-ordering benefits for Halo CEA are really stupid in my opinion.

The Master Chief Avatar item is ok but eh. The funeral skull is an insult to pre-orders if you ask me, it's cool, but not enough for me to want to pre-order it really badly.

I would only pre-order the game for the Master chief avatar costume but I would feel better about pre-ordering a game if the benefits were better than this.

And I've played Every Halo game from Bungie from Halo CE to Halo: Reach and I'm proud.

The only game I do not own and have not played is Halo Wars, whether playing it counts towards playing all official Halo games or not.

Either way I eventually plan on getting it when it gets cheap enough.
