They’re Bringing the Pistol Back

If you have not yet experienced the glory that was the killer app for the original Xbox gaming system, I must insist that you immediately take advantage of this week’s Xbox 360 Holiday Deal of the Week. Normally priced at 1200
but available at a 50% discount for the next week, starting today you can download Halo: Combat Evolved for a mere 600 (US $7.50). Might as well pick up the free picture pack and theme while you’re on that page as well. Then you can go play the game that started it all. Be sure to say hi to the semi-automatic, recoil-operated, magazine-fed, magnum caliber handgun for me. Ah, M6D Pistol, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways, …
if i didnt already own a perfectly working disc for halo1, and halo1 pc, then i would of taken advantage of this deal.
wow O.O im definitley gonna get this
Are there any discernible benefits to having this over the original disc, apart from being able to use the dashboard features?
WEAK!! i dled this at full price like a month ago
Sad face
I guess I no longer have an excuse for not owning Halo:CE on Xbox (only had the PC version). If only they had added achievements to the Xbox Originals.
Achievement Unlocked: You got a kill with something other than the magnum.
Ah, yes. The M6D. A FULLY automatic, magazine-fed, recoil-operated handgun that fires semi-armor-penetrating, high-eplosive, fifty-caliber magnum rounds. Did I mention that it has a scope?
^^ most awesome weapon ever made, even if the power level was a bit ridiculous. At least it was probably realistic for the time period (being five-hundred years in the future and all…).
I thaught you were being serious when I saw the title >_>
this is an awesome deal, i love this game, and mine is too scratched in order to play
Why are there two Master Chiefs?
Or do I remember the trilogy wrong?…
o_O
Why are there two Master Chief’s???
Jinx!
What he said ^
Saweet! Sort of… not really :( I’m in the same boat as Penguinish, I’ve got the original disc and 2 copies for PC. But for those that don’t have it, this is a great bargain!
2 Master Chiefs = co-op game.
Headline is misleading… XD
There are two chiefs because, well, I could go into some crazy theory about bending time and space to produce two MCs at the same time, which could have occurred because of a certain stone in a certain doctor Halsey’s possession…
Or it’s co-op. ¬¬
Hrm…
I might have to pick this up. I don’t have a copy of Halo CE anymore.
Not a bad deal at all.
Btw bsangel, I’m saddened and hurt that you didn’t reply to my email telling you I liked your site design. It’s ok though, I forgive you based on the fact that 1) You are probably very busy with the holidays or 2) you didn’t receive it. :P
I just searched my gmail by your username and also your email address and I haven’t received any correspondence from you. If I would have, I certainly would have written back! :)
