With 20 years of Halo just around the corner, developer 343 Industries has some special plans for anyone who plans to keep playing the Master Chief Collection through the year. To celebrate the franchise's upcoming anniversary, a new set of armor that old fans of the franchise should recognize is available, but more is on the way. Soon, players will be able to strap an original Xbox or a grunt plushie to their Spartans.

　　As of November 3, Halo: The Master Chief Collection players can equip their Halo 2 era Spartans with Orion armor. While this armor set may sound unfamiliar, it's what Master Chief first wore in the original reveal of Halo, way back in 1999. Along with the armor set, players can also purchase new weapon skins and nameplates, including one with Microsoft's infamous helper, Clippy.
