Pre-order 'Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary' to Unlock Your Inner Master Chief and Pay Tribute to the Lovable Grunt

Microsoft have announced a pre-order bonus for Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary on the Xbox 360.  Those who pre-order the game before it is released on November 15th, will be able to get there hands on the 'Master Chief Avatar Armour' (above) and a 'Grunt Funeral Skull'.

The Master Chief Avatar Armour is to honour the 10th Anniversary of John 117, you will be able to transform your Xbox LIVE Avatar into the iconic hero by outfitting it with Master Chief’s signature MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armour.

The “Grunt Funeral” Skull  is a 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!
