Here’s another bonus item that appears to be a part of the Fable II Collector’s Edition. Within Microsoft’s press release announcing the game’s ship date and CE content earlier today, it makes mention of a mysterious “otherworldly bonus” as part of the CE’s exclusive in-game bonus content, which also includes an extra dungeon and weapon. Also tucked away within today’s announcement assets was the following image, a character model render labeled “Fable2_MasterChief.” So it would seem that yes, an exclusive Master Chief costume will be an extra treat for those who purchase the special edition Fable II pack. That doesn’t really make the collection any better to me, but then again I’m not a crazy Halo fan.

I would really like to see a Halo fan comment on whether this helps with the $20 entry fee … of course, if it was a PC game someone would have figured out the code to access it for free before it was released ..
Oh, I’m sure it does. Halo’s fandom is insane. They’d probably pay $20 more just for the Master Chief costume alone.
Like this morning, I read that Halo 3 won best game at the G4 game awards last night. That’s over BioShock, MGS4, GTA IV, Call of Duty 4, Mass Effect, and far too many other much more deserving games from late last year and early this year. Even worse, Call of Duty 4 won the award for best shooter, yet Halo 3 still got game of the year. Now how does that make any sense!?
Sorry, had to vent about that real quick :). The Halo series is so vastly overrated it makes me sick. I know it’s G4 and a fan-voted award, but still, just makes me ill to see Halo 3 continue to be lavished with praise even though it’s one of the most mediocre, run-of-the-mill shooters ever. Master Chief isn’t even an interesting main character either, no idea how he’s become such an icon.
Since I’m a PC gamer (and handhelds for the past several years), I was a Bungie fan since Marathon, and was hurt when Halo went from Mac-only, to PC-only to XBOX-only. But I got over it and tried it when they released on the PC and … then I found that they weren’t all that great. Especially #2, which really comes off mediocre compared to the rest of the class of ’04 (Far Cry, Half-Life 2, Doom 3, etc).
All of you people do not deserve to be called gamers. If you believe halo to be mediocre, than u should just hand over your sytems and play with something more down to your low level standards. like duck hunt. maybe hen you’ll understand more why there’s only 2 ppl on this blog crushing halo while everyone else is enjoying a great game that isnt far cry. call of duty is a great game, but its most enjoyable online. SO you can get teabagged by a thousand grunts as u lay waysted on the island of farcry for insulting a great game. hand over your controllers and put the dick of master chief in your mouth as you play your wii’s and ps3.you dont deserv an xbox
Your right, Halo is one of the greatest games of all time and just because they don’t know a thing about video games doesn’t mean they need to go praising games like Far Cry and Doom, They shouldn’t own an Xbox.
I Believe that Mr. Snugglez is the greatest and has just achieved what some people might call God status. Snuggle on Mr. Snugglez snuggle on
i shall mr sqwint. at least you have some class. unlike these barbie game-playing mongrels. let us roam elsewhere. where there are men with their dicks still attached to them.
I agree mrsnugglez
I do believe you mean the fields of online Halo.
Wow dude, did you really waste time talking to yourself as two different commenters? Get a life, seriously lol.
But that’s typical Halo fanboy reaction. Can’t take anyone saying the series is merely decent, not the greatest thing in the world. You and many other gamers love it, that’s cool. And hey guess what, I enjoyed them too. I thought all three were fun plays, the series as a whole just isn’t particularly memorable to me or worthy of all the hype it gets, that’s all. Decent run-and-gun shooters, nothing more nothing less. Hardly see how that’s “crushing” it, but whatever, you’re the “real” gamer so you obviously know more than I do.
zOMG i r luz3r
dod if you don’t like halo then way did you wright about it you idiot
i was just searching google for a code to this armor so i could have some energy sword and i stumbled upon this thread.
i see so much fail
mr snuggles is a failtard XD double commenting and losing at it…
but yes back to the subject.
is there a code yet?
i mean everyone should know that the code is the same in every single fable game for this content.
who hasnt thrown away there code yet?
i want me some ma3str cheeph
i am angry about how halo has to exploit itself to all the companies like a whore
like dead or alive, they just had to put a woman spartan in it to make it good lulz
game over
(The game)
You can only get the Master Chief armor by getting the collector’s edition. If you bought the CE and were unlucky enough to get one of the copies missing the DLC card, Microsoft has a support page up that you can request codes from. That’s at http://www.xbox.com/en-US/support/games/fable2/default.htm.
They are watching for scammers though, so if you didn’t buy the CE and dishonestly request a code they’ll get after you.
You think you’ll be able to get Hal’s Armor (Master Chief’s suit) in the new DLC?
I doubt it. Before release the CE was stripped down to where the Halo armor was basically the main bonus. If they released it separately CE owners would probably revolt lol. It’s supposed to be CE-exclusive DLC.
Well, it appears that there are some more Halo items to find in the new DLC add-on. Not the same Halo armor as was in the CE though. Apparently you can trade in exp at the Box of Secrets and gain the Halo Assault Rifle as a long range weapon. Don’t know from first-hand experience since I have no desire to buy the add-on, but I’ve seen screen grabs that prove it’s true.
the halo outfit is quite cool but its over rated i hope that the new halo game is the last one.
Fat chance of that. There’s Halo 3: ODST, then Halo Reach, and then there are rumors floating around strongly suggesting that Gearbox is working on a Halo 4. Halo is a cash cow and MSoft won’t stop milking it unless gamers lose interest.
You said it Matt … exactly WHY would MS stop popping out Halo games? I don’t think too much of them, but millions love them so … kepp em’ coming, I say!
Looks like somebody is tired of the Gearbox Halo 4 rumors. This came yesterday via 343 Team’s HaloWaypoint Twitter feed:
“For the record, Gearbox is NOT working on a Halo title for Microsoft.”
Man I ao tired of hearing you COD4 Nerds ramble on about how its supposable so much better than Halo, you guys are ridiculous, the reason Halo has such a good Fanbase is soley for the fact that Bungie can make better story for Campaign
than COD cn ever dream of imagining. I mean ＣＯＭＥ ＯＮ! America blows upin COD, Thatwould Never Happen!
to Q man, you really dont know what your talking about, america doesnt blow up, the missles detonate above the ocean and only a little debris makes it to american soil.
and for the others, i present my opinion. Halo is a very enjoyable game that has an above average campain and a very customizable mulitplayer system. i personally own all four halo games as well as odst when it comes out but i cannot play the game now since it has become too stale.
for COD4, the multiplayer is very good, except it is the same thing over and over. although it is the same thing, i was able to enjoy it immensely until it was stolen. the campain is exceptional because it made me feel so many different things. i forgot the name of the developing studio but they are incredibly good at giving you a story that will stick in your mind. (or at least the feeling of it).
at this moment, both halo and COD are great in my book. halo has a great multiplayer and COD has a great campain so i will be getting odst and modern warfare immediatly when they both come out.
LOL, why am I responding to something that’s over a year old?
First of all, if you have played enough shooters to compare them to Halo (and have played through all of the Halo games) you don’t have much of a life to begin with. :’D We should bask in what fun our nerdy little lives bring us; stop being n00bz.
Aaanyway… I’m a hardcore Halo fan (I’m a total Master Chief fangirl), and I really think that the MC costume is cool. Like, really cool. But, it’s a matter of opinion – and it’s not like gamers will ever be able to level with each other. We’re far too arrogant and self-satisfied (it helps our pathetic little lives seem ever so brighter).
Then again, I always buy the limited/special editions. I want them, and my OCD wouldn’t let me do it any other way. So, whether MC was promised to me or not, I’d still pay the $20.
