PaNfOoT Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 So the pre-order bonus....is kinda an even easier mode?Also, I'll rage if the only way to get it is to pre-order it or download it for a couple bucks from XBL after release. I hate that preorder ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Or it's a new way to play an older game. Now you can use those grunts as mobile plasma grenades. Even if you don't like it you can turn that skull off. Thinking on what they could offer as a pre-order bonus, there's not a whole lot I can come up with. If it were a new weapon, Bungie fans would scream. Golden guns, same thing. As far as the MC avatar gear... Isn't there already green Halo armor you can buy on the avatar marketplace?

Siren Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 As far as the MC avatar gear... Isn't there already green Halo armor you can buy on the avatar marketplace?Yes sir.I was hoping for more pre order bonuses like a behind the scenes look throughout the years or something, but whatevs. I'll take what I can get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Dev commentary like in the Half Life games would have been cool, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevnvek Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'd hope that if there's something awesome like developer commentary, that it's not exclusive to preorders. The exploding grunts thing does sound pretty cool though. I believe the grunt birthday party skull in Reach and ODST had a similar effect. When you headshot a grunt, they explode in confetti, damaging and possibly detonating other nearby grunts, especially if there are plasma grenades laying on the ground from the deceased.

Timber King Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 As cool as it is that they're releasing the anniversary edition of Halo: CE, I'm waiting for Halo 2 to be re-released so I can play online again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
