Master Chief crash lands into Fable 2

If you noticed in the details to Fable 2's Collector's Edition, there was an "Otherworldly Bonus" for in-game content. Packaged with the announcement were screenshots, including one conspicuously labeled "Fable2_MasterChief.jpg." Yep, that's not just a coincidence, you're looking at a faux-medieval variant of the Halo superstar. (Halo 3 ending spoiler alert) I guess we know what universe he crash-landed in.

And here we thought Minstrel Chief was the only Halo reference we'd find. Fable 2 is coming October 21 for US and October 24 for Europe.

My god, that's disturbing. But at least we'll finally get to use that sword we earned in Halo 3.

rv @ Aug 8th 2008 10:46AM

That would be sweet if he used the energy sword. And everyone be running after him screaming "SWORDDDDD"

Mikeymike @ Aug 7th 2008 6:50PM

What about Megaman?

Hutchie @ Aug 8th 2008 1:59AM

Thats Hawt

TwEE @ Aug 7th 2008 6:51PM

Thats odd looking.

FOXHOUND @ Aug 8th 2008 7:20AM

You obviously haven't seen some of the created-character content in SOULCALIBUR IV... o_o;

LaughingTarget @ Aug 7th 2008 6:52PM

An early steam-driven robot bent on universal destruction I take it?

David @ Aug 7th 2008 6:55PM

I feel like vomiting yet am excited nonetheless.

Mr.ESC @ Aug 7th 2008 8:09PM

Me too but I think that's for something I ate this morning.

MikeO. @ Aug 7th 2008 7:00PM

If I do good deeds while wearing this outfit, will a "halo" appear above my head like in Fable 1? ;x

Van Faulk @ Aug 7th 2008 7:13PM

No. Because that much awesome could not possibly exist in one game.

fred @ Aug 8th 2008 11:27AM

If that happened I would buy this day one and I have never played either halo OR fable.

RiccochetJ @ Aug 7th 2008 7:04PM

Looks Cool!

Elsnerma @ Aug 7th 2008 7:05PM

I don't even own a 360 or have any interest in Halo, but I must say, that's a really great design.

Ethan @ Aug 8th 2008 6:27AM

I'm not usually a fervent item collector, but I agree with you, and if I stumble across 'Mjolnir boots' or something (nerdy Halo reference), I shall simply have to have the whole thing.

emotaku @ Aug 7th 2008 7:12PM

this makes you bed the question, are there any characters in fable you actually care about?

Marty @ Aug 7th 2008 7:22PM

I believe you meant "beg," but this situation does not beg the question.

Bloo @ Aug 7th 2008 7:28PM

I've never played Fable but I know enough to know that it's not a character driven game.

Saria the Cat @ Aug 7th 2008 8:22PM

This makes me bed the question, what are you trying to get at? I don't really understand what you're criticizing here. Poor character development? Fable was never meant to be a Final Fantasy, but more of a fun adventure styled game.

fred @ Aug 8th 2008 11:29AM

bed the question?

...why would you want sleep with HIM? He has no face!

343 Guilty Fart @ Aug 7th 2008 7:22PM

That looks really cool but I'm still not interested in Fable.

Vcize @ Aug 8th 2008 10:38AM

Thanks for keeping us up to date on your interests! I've noted it in my journal!

PS36Wii Fanboy @ Aug 7th 2008 7:29PM

GREAT! does this mean he also comes with Horse Armor?

Van @ Aug 7th 2008 7:40PM

Looks like he's wearing Spidey's venom suit underneath

Mr.ESC @ Aug 7th 2008 8:11PM

Zomg Master chief is Peter Parker,that or he encounters the symbiotes.

Dralzz @ Aug 7th 2008 7:41PM

Woah.
Didn't expect that.

Zoot Suit Jedi @ Aug 7th 2008 7:56PM

I officially HATE HALO now. Thanks for that.

Ihavepants @ Aug 7th 2008 8:05PM

I hate the Halo series anyway, but you've gotta admit that suit looks pretty good.

Mr.ESC @ Aug 7th 2008 8:13PM

I hate Bungie for releasing a 800p map pack that they are going to give for free in a few months and I hate Halo players but I don't hate Halo...too much.

Mr.ESC @ Aug 7th 2008 8:11PM

Is Cortana going to be a Fairy?

"Hey MC lisent"

Zertoss @ Aug 7th 2008 8:34PM

Hey! Hey! Listen! Hey! Listen! Listen! Hey! Want to go see beeg American tee tees? Hey! Listen! It's Otis. Listen! Hey! Hey!

fred @ Aug 8th 2008 11:30AM

I just threw up a little

Jacksons @ Aug 7th 2008 8:14PM

Haha, I love when characters (or armor) make cameos in other games. Well, so long as they're from the same publisher or developer, that is.

Vladeon @ Aug 7th 2008 8:22PM

Ok, I give, I'll shell out the extra 20 bucks for this LE. The question, of course, is where I'm going to get the 220 dollars for too human, this, and Fallout 3 this fall. Oh right, student loans are due this month... just add a couple thousand on to it and BAM, my video game fix is assured.
