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.
PS36Wii Fanboy @ Aug 7th 2008 8:42PM
Any of you remember the Leero Jenkins NPC Cameo on LOTR: Online?... Of course you don't...
Mean Things @ Aug 7th 2008 9:29PM
OH GOD does that look ridiculous. Not sure if I like it or am offended by the attempt to bank on a decent franchise.
inja @ Aug 7th 2008 9:37PM
Fable 2 is gonna be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo CRAP
the ps3 is much better than 360. Xbox is for cavemen.
Bryan @ Aug 7th 2008 10:51PM
lolololololololololololololololololololololololololololo
Obvious troll is obvious.
Vcize @ Aug 8th 2008 10:40AM
An xbox wouldn't do cavemen much good, given their total lack of electricity.
Snowblind @ Aug 8th 2008 6:14AM
The ingame content you get with this limited edition is pretty cool.. A completely unique dungeon, with spartan armour and a pretty cool looking sword. It's only £5 more in the UK, so I'm sold.
Also, the Hobbe figure is very cute.
Ethan @ Aug 8th 2008 6:16AM
I'm sure Minstrel Chief and Court ana will have some lovely subplot to do, and a very small minority of gamers wondering who the smeg these weirdly-named characters are who keep making anachronistic references.
ScottG13 @ Aug 8th 2008 8:44AM
That is pretty darn great if that makes it in.
Zootittles @ Aug 8th 2008 10:26AM
Fable 2 has taken a one-way trip to Retardville.
Ihavepants @ Aug 8th 2008 12:51PM
Much like your Avatar.
Zootittles @ Aug 8th 2008 12:52PM
True that.
PS36Wii Fanboy @ Aug 8th 2008 5:19PM
No Fable 2, don't do this! You were good as is!
JohnHeist @ Aug 9th 2008 5:21PM
Ok, I don't really like Halo that much, but that is pretty sweet.
Ansem @ Aug 13th 2008 8:39PM
IS he an in-game NPC or do you unlock the armor?
inja @ Aug 16th 2008 9:05AM
vcize have you ever heard of exaggeration or sarcaasm.
PirateMushroom @ Aug 31st 2008 4:48AM
This is awesome, but it sucks it's only for the special edition version.
