In an industry where
pre-order incentives are the norm, it's quite difficult to offer items, both
physical and digital, that will catch fans' attention, especially when most
folks have preconceived notions of what the developers will offer. Still,
developers work to include items that will catch players' eyes and make for a
better overall experience, and that's just what 343 Industries and Microsoft
are doing with Halo
4's pre-order bonuses.
As we reported a week ago, Microsoft announced their
first official pre-order incentive for
the upcoming shooter: purchase the game from Microsoft's store and receive $25
towards your next purchase. Today, though, Microsoft and 343 have unveiled a
slew of bonuses for pre-ordering, including the arctic battle rifle skin that
can be seen below: In addition to the weapon
skin, Microsoft released over a dozen armor skins, which feature an array of
designs: oceanic, hazop, cio, and much more. Interestingly enough, these extras
are currently "homeless bonuses" due to the fact that they'll only be
available to specific retailer incentives for the game. You can expect to hear
these retailer-specific announcements within the next month or two, which we'll
cover in a future post.
