Eating a Big Mac can help you obtain a special armor set for Master Chief in the UK and Ireland. Thanks to a new McDonald’s collaboration with Xbox, there is a new Halo: Campaign Evolved skin that’s mainly red and gray, with a yellow visor and flourishes. It costs 1,500 rewards points in the McDonald’s app–a tier in the US that will get you a free apple pie, small coffee, or vanilla cone.
Now we could talk about the hilarity of a Master Chief skin for a game predominately played from the first-person perspective, though Halo: Campaign Evolved does let you experience the classic game in third-person. Or we could talk about how this particular armor set (seen below via RebsGaming) looks like something that should be available to just customize within the title’s menu. It’s really not much more than a palette swap.
But probably the biggest issue is the armor set, named Side Mission, just screams bland and boring. Like if you’re going to have a McDonald’s-specific skin in Halo: Campaign Evolved, give it some fun character. Put the iconic “M” arch on Chief’s helmet, for instance, sort of like the added decal flair on Magneto’s helmet. Or make the visor look like Ronald McDonald, similar to what we did with the horrifying thumbnail on this story.
Now Halo: Campaign Evolved isn’t the only Xbox-owned game to get a special reward at McDonald’s in the UK and Ireland. The other titles involved in the collaboration are Forza Horizon 6, Fallout 76, Candy Crush Saga, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch. GameSpot has reached out to McDonald’s about a similar promotion coming to other parts of the world, including North America.
We also have codes to grab free alternate armor sets in Halo: Campaign Evolved. For more, check out GameSpot’s Halo: Campaign Evolved review. The game is available on PC, Xbox Series X|S, and for the first time ever, PS5.
