London – 14th November, 2011 – To mark the highly anticipated arrival of “Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary” at retailers on 15th November – the 10th anniversary of the Xbox gaming and entertainment console – Microsoft is inviting fans to commemorate the 10th anniversary of a franchise that has defined a decade of Xbox gaming by creating a living monument to the series’ iconic hero, Master Chief.
By visiting HaloLivingMonument.com today, visitors can upload pictures of their favourite “Halo” memories from the last decade and watch as they seamlessly coalesce with images submitted by legions of other fans around the world to form an interactive, 3D mosaic image of Master Chief. Users can explore the content of the mosaic, rate their favourite submissions and share them with friends on Facebook and Twitter. Contributing to the mosaic is as easy as uploading an image from Facebook or leaving a comment about your favourite “Halo” memory.
In addition, fans who add their photos to the interactive memorial can see their contributions immortalised in a personalised, live-action “Halo Tribute” video that honours the dedication and support of the “Halo” community over the franchise’s ten year history.
Created in celebration of the 10th anniversary of one of the most beloved franchises in gaming history, “Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary” is a spectacularly remastered version of the original “Halo” campaign, packaged with some of the most memorable multiplayer maps in “Halo” history. With a bounty of new features, including cooperative play over Xbox LIVE, six reimagined multiplayer maps and one new Firefight mission, a Classic graphics mode, Achievements, innovative Kinect and 3-D support, and new challenges and story to uncover, “Halo: Anniversary” is a must-have experience for veteran Spartans and new fans alike.
